New Release of the Week: Dirty Bird - Wagenmuzik
The recent buzz around Virginia Beach-based Dirty Bird (aka Gum) is for good reason. The prolific producer bounces from genre to genre effortlessly, but his recent venture in helping pioneer the NYC garage movement has been captivating and awe-inspiring for lovers of the genre. In Wagenmusik, Dirty Bird dips his toes in a pop-leaning approach to dance music, creating some of the catchiest tunes I’ve heard all year. I loved it so much, I even wrote about it in Rolling Stone last week.
