What is a dirtybird, you ask? It is progressive. It was born in San Fransisco. It is a genre-breaking sound that is unlike any other. Dirtybird Records is the brainchild of Claude VonStroke (@vonstroke) and like-minded individuals Justin Martin, Christian Martin, and Worthy. What began as a party thrown at Golden Gate Park evolved into the powerhouse that it is today. Clichés aside, innovative artists have been taken under the dirtybird's wing such as J.Phlip, French Fries and Eats Everything. A dirtybird member is not just a performer on a stage, but a friend.

Factory Nightlife brought J.Phlip and Justin Martin to the summer concert series this year which were held at Sky Bar. Now, the "Claudefather," will be performing tonight at Rendezvous the Niteclub for his Urban Animal tour.

Urban Animal was released in September and I found it so inspired, I couldn't help myself and delved into writing a review of it. You can check my Artvoice album review and find the SoundCloud links here.

J.Phlip (@jphlip) is VonStroke's main babe for the tour. "Straight from San Francisco with dirty basslines, bootylicious funk, and cute as hell—J. Phlip is the total package,” VonStroke said.

If you haven't experienced it yet, you should.
