Dirty South, Michael Brun, and Maarcos at Governors Island: Five tracks you need to know, Phazing Edition
New York City nightclubs may not have the bottle service or square footage to match those of Las Vegas or the miles of beach and pools to compete with Miami, but for the summer months, the Big Apple has Governors Island. Revered as one of the most alluring dance music destinations in the states, Governors Island hosts the season's hottest acts on its man-made paradise. Ferries bustled for days straight last week, as Chuckie kicked off the fourth of July, Victor Calderone and Gareth Emery hosted their own parties, and closing with a bang -- Dirty South, Michael Brun, and Maarcos threw a Phazing blowout that went down as an evening for the books.
Dirty South steps away from the singles for ‘Speed of Life,’ his debut full length artist album
Dirty South's debut album takes a stand against the general malaise of electronic music that has permeated the culture during its period of heightened popularity. Like a finely woven tapestry, Dragan has crafted an album rich in both character and charisma, utilizing intricately layered productions of finely-tuned electronica to develop a 45 minute glance into his psyche. Produced nearly entirely on the road, Speed of Life mirrors the frantic (and sometimes manic) life of a DJ.
Dirty South previews ‘Something Like You’ off his forthcoming artist album, ‘Speed of Life’
The buzz and excitement for Dirty South's forthcoming album Speed of Life has finally reached its tipping point. One day before its release, we are honored to bring you the final track preview for the album, "Something Like You." Showcasing his talent for creating productions that live and breathe, Dragan slowly evolves Rudy's vocal cut from a heavily vocoded and filter cut growl into an anthemic chorus backed by his signature, ethereal synthwork. The minute-long preview does well to leave us on the edge of our seats, where we will continue to sit until the album's full release tomorrow on Phazing Records.
