The yearly journey of Dirtybird is back on, with a sold-out party at Space and a brand new 10-track compilation ‘Miami 2020’ to accompany it. On this compilation, it feels as though Dirtybird has captured some of that chaos and distilled it through 10 outstanding tech house and techno tracks.
‘Miami 2020’ delivers a magnum opus, which is composed of intergalactic tech house cuts all threaded together to create a roller coaster of a trip into worlds beyond our own.
We inaugurate our picks of the compilation with Mark Starr’s ‘C-Beam’ which veers between short bursts of solemnity and propulsive, galloping acid and cosmic techno. It’s the sound of the future, of worlds yet to be discovered! Our second pick of the compilation is the mesmerizing ‘Back It Up’ by Diskull & JYNX, a perfect example of full club energy, catchiness and delight.
Next up is Cour T‘s ‘Acid Pu$$y’, featuring the young gun’s distinct style, the kind of infectious and accessible tech house that will make any crowd groove. It is followed by the bass-heavy cut ‘Mind Control’ by Jonathan Landossa, a technically impressive track, its bassline is so “in your face” that it will make you feel like your rib cage is about the break.
Further hitting the compilation off with Lubelski’s “Animalistic,” that spans to “On Course” from the longtime BBC radio personality, Monki, with her debut track on the label. Gettoblaster‘s “Excited” features vocals from Chicago’s Fuzzy Cufflinxxx, and the duo also put together the full mix of the compilation for that Miami pre & after parties.
It also introduces some brand new names like Jonathan Landossa, Jynx & Diskull, Luke Andy and Morelia that I’m sure we will hear a lot about this year. The compilation is perfectly mixed and polished yet gravelly aesthetic, with each track a chapter in the much bigger story.
