MOOD 009CD

Presenting the first full-length on Mood Music by producer/DJ duo Peter Gijselaers and Felix Eder aka Dirt Crew. Blow sees them back on the block with more of their original, raw-as-fuck house music. This album reveals the true roots of these pioneers of European electronic house music, with influences ranging from early Chicago warehouse tracks, sophisticated mid-'90s NYC-inspired house productions, and pioneers of UK dub house from the likes of Warp and DIY. "Deep Cover" slowly evolves with a dubbed house feel and perfectly-arranged vocal samples. Followed by "Rough Roads," the theme stays the same, deep bass confiscating the groove, holding no hostages with a building, arpeggiated synth-line. "Blow" throws old school samples and deep keys into the mix with stunning results. Keeping the pace mid-tempo, the groove just keeps going. "Clap" layers synths and vocal snippets into a frenzy of house bliss, ending in an FM synth-horn crescendo which could be from a Jovonn production from 1992. "Redux" is an old school stomper with a 2009 production to keep it fresh. Borrowing a touch from early Deep Dish, this has a massively hypnotizing, hands-in-the-air factor in true Dirt Crew-style. "Slope" is a darker affair with a well-paced Berlin peak-hour frenzy that never gets too dark. "Parade" is an ode to classic house -- deep, pulsating bass and groove mixed with some tasteful keys and vocals. "Scenario" enters darker territory, with pitched-down vocals and echoed percussion, keeping the groove on high alert till the keys drop and the dancefloor explodes -- another DC classic, for sure. "The Real Shit" is a bouncy, almost techno production with distorted beats, true DC bleepiness and dubbed-out vocals -- a demented dancefloor bomb already. Finally, "Star" starts with mesmerizing keys and a murderous bass line, evolving over minutes of modern house music at its best to a crazy horn breakdown. There's no stopping the Dirt Crew, now.

MOOD 071EP

"Dirt Crew aka Peter Gijselaers and Felix Eder have been Moodmusic favorites since their early days in 2004, when Rock The House emerged on the MBF label out of Cologne. Their electro influenced house productions soon found their way to Moodmusic creating numerous hits like '808 Lazerbeam' and 'Domino,' and the all-time classic remix of 'Soul Sounds' from label head Sasse. Dwelling a few years in more dubbed out minimal sounds, Dirt Crew are back on the block with more of their original raw-as-fuck love of house music, as we all like it. Taken from their forthcoming album Blow, this is the first single in 3 years from the guys on Moodmusic and we're so happy about it. Starting with 'Redux' -- an old school stomper with a 2009 production to keep it fresh. Lending a touch from early Deep Dish this has the massively hypnotizing 'hands in the air' factor in true Dirt Crew style. Already tested at the last Moodmusic Night at Panorama Bar, this was the highlight of the Sunday afternoon! 'Deep Cover' is slowly evolving with a dubbed house feel and perfectly arranged vocal samples getting the biz done. Followed by 'Rough Roads,' the theme stays the same -- deep bass confiscating the groove, holding no hostages with a building arpeggiated synth line making the track as comfortable at home as well as in a hazy club at 5 AM"

DIRT 030EP

These new remixes of Dirt Crew's "Soundwave" are a special, deep journey into the history of house music. First up is Quarion, who delivers a dark and spacious reinterpretation of the original that recalls a lot of early '90s house tracks by the likes of Chez Damier, Moodymann and Basic Channel. The second remix is by Filippo "Naughty" Moscatello, who was a big fan of the original track and insisted on making a remix that is big and classic.

This is the second single from Dirt Crew's full-length. The Crew goes deep into the old school again with "Coming For You" -- experience the power of jacking bass and rough beats. The "Big Bad City" is another step towards darkness and warm, minimalistic deep house: a great combination of percussion and deep organs make this track a special afterhours tune for sweaty raves.

It's been a few years, several singles, and even more remixes since James Flavour and Break 3000 (collectively working as Dirt Crew) emerged as innovators in the house/electro/techno scene, but all this time a proper artist album has been the missing element. A peek into the near-future sees that fact change, as the duo now drops Raw, their debut album. Take a hint from the album's title -- this is house music stripped down to its barest form, with dark, heavy tracks pounding and pulverizing the dancefloor, then building it up a few minutes later. The album is said to be both a look at the kind of music Dirt Crew has championed since its inception, as well as a hint of what's to come in the future. The boys were also nice enough to include a bonus disc with this release, featuring favorites from their remix resumé over the past few years, with the likes of M.A.N.D.Y., Jimpster and Gomma's Who Made Who getting in the mix.

DIRT 016EP

The Berlin-based Dirt Crew return with two deep tech-house cuts on their own Dirt Crew imprint. Expect warm, bass-heavy grooves as only Dirt Crew can provide. The A-side is a true electro-fueled house monster with solid bass lines and a great euphoric space chord that will do major damage on the dancefloors. The second track is a sweet but deep house cut with some references to the early '90s Balearic sounds -- a real warm and minimal track that will go down smoothly in any house set.

Dirt Crew are Break 3000 and James Flavour, active label-heads, producers and DJs spinning old-school techno, house and electro for labels such as Trapez, Highgrade and Brique Rouge. This is their first-ever Dirt Crew compilation CD with all those great tracks they've rocked the floor with for the last two years. It's a fine selection of some of the best moments in the Dirt Crew history from their old hits such as "Rock Da House" and "808 Lazerbeam" to the new single on Moodmusic "Domino" and "Break My Body." These specially-selected favorite tracks have been re-mastered for a good overview of the productions they did in 2004 and 2005 on MBF and Moodmusic as well as the great remixes of 22 Crew and Jennifer Cardini's "Egal" and Sasses' "Soul Sounds," which was one of the key electro-house records last year (voted by the readers of Groove Magazine No. 8 of best remixes in 2005) and a true underground hit record. Now you can enjoy these vinyl-only tracks for the first time on CD.

MBF 12022EP

The Dirt Crew are back after a long break. MBF was the label to kick off and originate this crew, and Silver takes us back to those beginnings. "Silver" develops a traditional Chicago house into disco, with James Flavour and Break 3000 throwing a little dirt into the mix -- hypnotic, deep and cool. "Lost" proudly displays the darker side of tech house, with an '80s bassline that is carried through the track, pulling atmospheric sounds to the surface, making it a true after-hour pearl.

"The return of The Dirt Crew comes with a stunning freestyle man remix and a remix by Donnacha Costello of Minimise/Trapez/Force Inc. Plus a remix by Dirt Crew themselves. DJ Sasse aka Freestyleman, aka one half of Mr Negative, is transforming the slashing original in an hypnotic monster that rocks. Donnacha Costello having recorded also for Trapez under the name of Pleite was a go on a 303 acid mix, raw and bold. The Dirt Crew themselves throw all their juvenile influences of early acid and house days in one mix, resulting in a party giant. The EP comes in a full cover with a print of a warehouse."

"Cleaning Up the Ghetto II is the follow up to the successful debut Cleaning Up the Ghetto I by James Flavour & Peter Gijseders which was played by a lot of famous house DJs among people like Steve Bug, David Duriez, Freestyle Man/DJ Sasse, M.A.N.D.Y., etc. It features a very strong Chicago house anthem 'Rock Da House' highlighting it´s past, referring to heroes such as Robert Armani, Paul Johnson and all the wonderful traxxmen around the world. 'Psycho' is a catchy melodic groover, a bit twisted with big key-changes."

"Dirt Crew is a new project on MBF. Behind the project hide no newcomers but artists that have released numerous records on other labels, but will keep this project exclusively for My Best Friend. James Flavour is reknown for his fabulous records on the Berlin label Highgrade and on the forthcoming 12" on Brique Rouge. Break 3000 has released music already on Trapez, K7, Meuse Muzique, Poketgame and has released a remix for Speedy J. Their music combines cool oldschool patterns with new approach in club music and a super strong production. Their first 12" together as Dirt Crew is the beginning of a series of records by the Dirt Crew as well as remixes by Break 3000 which will be released by Traum on MBF and Trapez."
