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.
“Blow” is showing the true roots of these pioneers of European electronic house music, with influences ranging from early Chicago warehouse traxx, sophisticated mid-90s NYC inspired house productions and pioneers of UK dub house from the likes of Warp and DIY.
“Deep Cover” is the perfect start, 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.
The title track “Blow” brings more dirt to the game, throwing old school samples and deep keys into the mix with stunning results. Keeping the pace mid-tempo the groove just keeps going on, building a perfect soundtrack for those special nights.
“Clap” is another sure shot DC production, layering synths and snippets of vocals into a frenzy of house bliss, ending in a FM synthhorn crescendo which could be from a Jovonn production from 1992. One of the highlights of the album is surely “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 !
“Slope” is a darker affair with that well paced Berlin peak-hour frenzy without ever getting too dark or progressive, it’s a floor filler from the finest caliber.
“Parade” is the ode to those memories of deep house as we know it here at Moodmusic HQs, deep, pulsating bass and groove mixed with some tasteful keys and vocals fulfilling every deep house producers wet dream, I surely can see the guys wet themselves while doing this..
Going darker towards is the name of the game, taking “Scenario” into pitched down vocals and echoed percussion madness, keeping the groove in high alert till the keys drops and the dance floor just explodes, another DC classic for sure.
The guys show some amazing rawness in “The Real Shit” – a bouncy, almost techno production with distorted beats, true DC bleepiness and dubbed out vocals which has proven to be a demented dance floor bomb since we got our hands on this little secret weapon.
Ending the album we have maybe the finest piece of modern Dirt Crew sound, “Star” starts with mesmerizing keys and a murder bassline, evolving over minutes of modern house music at it’s best to a crazy horn break down before settling the score for good, there..s no stopping now for the Dirt Crew!
2004 Dirt Crew aka James Flavour and Break 3000 launched Dirt Crew Recordings after releasing their first EP's "Cleaning up the Ghetto Part 1+2" on MBF. The track "Rok Da House" became one of the key records of 2004, the beginning of the Electro House hype and a big hit that gave the guys worldwide recognition on the dancefloors. Also Moodmusic released two 12's with the brilliant "808 Lazerbeam" and "Darkside" in 2004 and the "Domino" E.P. in 2005, but things really got wild when they remixed Sasse's "Soul Sounds" which again went straight in the charts and was voted one of the best remixes of 2005 in the german "Groove" magazine and has been dropped by all major DJ's. They also remixed the first single of the „Who made Who“ album on Gomma in 2005 and made classic remixes for artists and labels like Jennifer Cardini, Silicone Soul, 2020 Vision, Crosstownrebels, Freerange and Breastfed.
Due to their success and productivity they decided to start up their own labels named Dirt Crew Recordings and Players Paradise. Straight from the start Dirt Crew Recordings went off into the charts with the super massive remix of "Largo" by Dominik Eulberg who has set his path for success with this particular remix and is now one of Germans leading producers. But also the hot first single by Dirt Crew "What you Want" released in October 2004 is still a highlight in the whole retro old school scene.With the massive singles of James Flavour, Break 3000, Tigerskin and Jennifer Cardini the label proved to have an excellent output. With new artist like Prudo, Adultnapper, Sian and Drum Cult the label expands its view on quality house and minimalistic sounds. Combining these new artists with well known heroes of the scene like Andre Kraml and Spirit Catcher proved to be the key of success. Dirt Crew Recordings will follow this path in the future and will keep on promoting da real house sound.
Their second label Players Paradise was launched in 2005 as an offspring of Dirt Crew Recordings because the guys wanted to promote other genres as well in their catalogue and also this label took off really fast with the first two singles by Sweet Slave and Martinez. Taking it even deeper and more towards deep house but still combining it with the new crisp sound from the minimal scenes. Big remixes from Mike Monday and Serge Santiago got the people moving to the dirty sound and with new faces like the italian producer Marcello Giordani who presents his Italo-house grooves or Glasgows Mash with his sleazy Nu-Disco tracks the Dirt Crew also shows the world that there's more to house music.
Varoslav from Paris is up next on Dirt Crew with his „I Love Us“, an exciting new
DJ/Production talent the label is very happy to be friends with. This EP sees Varoslav team
up with Paris-based trio and long time friends dOP (Circus company) who all of you may
well know from their current live crazyness and deep jams in the clubs out there ...
Varoslav is a new talent rising amongst the Parisian new House scene! playing in his groovy, sexy and energetic style sliding from tech to deep house is apparent in his releases also. When he isnʼt working on his own music he is found at Supplement Facts working along side Guy Gerber, another great label where Varoslav released his first records. Recently Varoslav has a huge Bomb out there with his „Donʼt Stop“ Bootleg that is being caned by people like Ricardo Villalobos and Ellen Allien ...
This EP has a little bit of everything for the House, Tech House and even Breakz lovers.
With two very nice remixes full of variety from Varoslavʼs friend David K (Freak N Chic, Cocoon). His smashing breakz remix is a sure destroyer, with itʼs phat beats and pumping bass line it is one of his most outstanding tracks ever. With the vinyl featured House mix David goes deep into the house groove and gives you his typical epic deep house flow.

The Runners are a new project by our man Lukas who has been with Dirt Crew and Players Paradise from the beginning and his buddy Kevin Cook. Both young and very talented producers who teamed up to drop some delicious deep house on the next Dirt Crew release. Kevin just made the move to Ibiza while Bristol based Lukas is very succesful in running his Buoyancy parties over there.
With „Hot Fun“ and „Woman Pleaser“ coming in two different deep mixes this Ep is one for the house lovers, taking Dirt Crew more and more towards the soulfull and groovy path of the new house movement. To top things off we asked another rising star in the scene and one of our favourite producers at this moment Jay Shepheard (Compost, Diynamic, Drumpoet Community) who recently made the move from London to Berlin. He delivers a great remix with a deep sub bass and a lush chord filled groove...
