ABOUT DIRTY

Dirty is a french website located in paris since 2001. we have no office, just 4 computers linked
to the internet. This site is about content selection, mainly music. 3 people select the content, guillaume
sorge, clovis goux and benjamin morando. jérôme poisson handles the technical issues, nicolas arnaud
handles the licensing / clearances, françois romain and u-lounge (check his site here) helped us: god
bless them. guillaume work as sound designer, music editor and party promoter, clovis is a journalist and
graphic designer and benjamin makes music (octet, pentile, france copland). we are a non-profit
organisation.

ABOUT ALAIN FINKIELKRAUTROCK / BLOG / DIRTY ARCHIVES
we started a blog at the end of 2006 to share our mad love for z movies and obscure music with some close
friends (cosmo vitelli, charles hagelsteen, pilooski, emmanuel plane, laurent fetis, midnight mike, marco dos santos,
krikor, eva revox, elisabeth arkhipoff, gwen jamois, krikor...). from now on, the dirty archives including mixes
and interviews will be available on the blog. the mixes will be available on mp3 format.


ABOUT DIRTY SOUND SYSTEM
dirty sound system is guillaume sorge and clovis goux, sometimes benjamin morando is playing with us.
we are selectors, not dj's (we don't mix records, we play them). we spin everything from house, electro,
free jazz to spacey disco, acid house, krautrock, sunshine pop, folk, rythm'n'blues, music soundtracks...
it depends on how far the dancefloor is ready to go. we played since 2001 in numerous venues, clubs,
private parties, festivals, after shows from miami to copenhagen, spain, sweden, portugal, germany and even the
deep french countryside (check our parties list here). we played with people like munk, headman, joakim,
oskar, daniel wang, simian mobile disco, midnight mike, jackson, kitsuné... we also have a monthly residency
in a cool parisian club called le paris paris (www.leparisparis.com). the
dirty sound system mixes available on
the mix archives are for home listening purpose, club promo mixes
are available on request as well. drop a mail
if you wanna book us : hello at d-i-r-t-y dot com.


ABOUT THE DIRTY DIAMONDS COMPILATIONS
we released three compilations since 2001 on diamondtraxx / discograph. they're called "dirty diamonds",
they mix old music, obscure dancefloor tracks, rare pop unclassics with no style, genre or era distinction.
more infos here. we don't have any links with diamondtraxx anymore and we're not part of their artist roster.
we now work with tigersushi.


ABOUT THE DIRTY EDITS
we started releasing a serie of vinyl ep's through discograph in 2006 : 1000 copies per release, no repress. we (dirty
sound system) choose the tracks and curate the serie, the edit work is made by our friend pilooski (who is also
a talented dj), sometimes we also choose to reprint obscure tracks without reediting them. the first
ep's are sold out now. these edits has been charted / supported by people like laurent garnier, prins thomas, erol
alkan, optimo, ewan pearson, tim sweeney, brennan green, dj naughty, whomadewho, dj touche, if, in flagranti,
david gilmour girls, joakim, prince language, cosmo vitelli, ame, dj cosmo, midnight mike, st etienne, susumu
makai (zongamin), the earlies, dirk eskimo, pepe bradock... we also release new and unreleased music (first release :
discodeine), we'd like to be some kind of small record label without being a record label (model : sarah records).

HOW TO SPELL
WRONG : D-I-R-T-Y / D*I*R*T*Y / DIRTY soundsystem
RIGHT : dirty / Dirty Sound System


SUBMIT A MIX ON THE BLOG
we brodacast music that we like. selecting music is about subjecticity... we have no musical boundaries
except one : we don't broadcast mainstream music, thousand other music websites do it betther than us.
please check our mixes archives before sending your cdr. as we receive a lot of submissions it's difficult to
answer to everyone but we listen to every mix and we don't care if you're a well known dj or not. we prefer
bad dj's playing great music than great dj's playing bad music, in fact we are, technically speaking,
bad dj's. generally we don't broadcast mixes if we know most of the tracklist, dirty is about discovering
new music and it begins with us.

SUBMIT A LINK / VIDEO / TEXT
it's impossible to link all the good labels / webzines / blogs etc.. so we focus on the content. sorry if we don't link
your site, we try to select the stuff that we really like with a total subjectivity. if we don't link your site, that
doesn't mean it's crap. if you have a good interview, drop us a mail : hello at d-i-r-t-y dot com.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A MYSPACE PAGE ?
because it sucks. we care about content and the social marketing era of the web 2.0 makes us wanna
smoke crack. you'd better read some books instead of answering stupid/boring/crappy messages on myspace.
cheers.
