dirt crew drops their 86th release with Kito Jempere

Excellent EP - Love it all, Full support from me - Laurent Garnier 

Dirt Crew Press Release 

St. Petersburg resident Kito Jempere is back on Dirt Crew with his first full release after his debut album on “Fata Morgana” and a great EP on “Freerange” last year. Following his great contribution to our “Deep Love” series we now welcome him with these two unique tracks. Ranging from House to Disco and Jazz influences, Kito found his very own style and switches easily between them. Up tempo and energetic tracks with great melodies, driving bass lines and clever sample use.

To complete this fine package we asked one of our all time fave producers and almost neighbour of Kito, Roberto Rodriguez from Helsinki, He turned “Do You Know Me” into a deep and bass heavy beast, much more stripped than the original tune he managed to make a true dance floor Gem of a remix. The second Man on remix duty is our Boy Nachtbraker from Amsterdam, also a Dirt Crew fave and meanwhile a household name for great melodic house jams. He added a brilliant bass line and cut the original “A Thousand Times” up to turn it in a true Nachtbraker tune.

When Crystal Fighters & Breakbot brought the start of the Summer Vibes to Moscow

Grimes X Miller x Kazansky station

From time to time we'll feature a look into some of our past brand partnerships, one of which was with Canadian avant-garde electronic darling and fashionista Grimes, and her premiere show in Moscow in association with Miller Beer.

Pre-arrival, Grimes planned performance went viral gaining huge media exposure and massive digital reach via Pitchfork, NME, DjMag, and Interview Magazine to name a few. The show took place as a one-off at the unique and beautiful hall of Kazansky train station to a capacity crowd. The one-off show/endorsement from Grimes has never been repeated, a true one-off for Miller.
