Born Dirty – Trippy Boys Trippy Girls

Born Dirty is making his grand return to Dirtybird with a new single ‘Trippy Boys Trippy Girls’, out today. 

Co-written with Linden Jay, ‘Trippy Boys Trippy Girls’ is a track ten years in the making. Born from experimentation in the house, techno, and breaks space, the track moves with a sense of unfiltered curiosity and off-kilter momentum. Arpeggiated synth loops spiral over jangling percussion and zippering basslines, creating a woozy, kaleidoscopic medley that feels both unruly and hypnotic. The left-of-center club cut underscores Born Dirty’s instinct to challenge convention while fueling adventurous dancefloors.

BRVMES – Lee Saisons

Genre-fusing producer BRVMES today unleashes his new Les Saisons EP, out now via HypnoVizion. 

Anchored by the previously released single ‘DOOM’, Les Saisons stretches BRVMES’ shadow-laced production across five commanding tracks. The EP leans into tension and restraint, balancing orchestral touches with jagged, industrial textures. ‘DOOM’ sets the tone with resonant motifs threaded through steely synth work, while tracks like ‘INTO ME’ and ‘fear is the mind killer’ veer between volatile surges and seismic breaks that propel the project forward with unrelenting force. Les Saisons displays the dark, precision-focused sensibility that defines HypnoVizion’s catalog, embracing cinematic depth and meticulous sound design without sacrificing raw impact.

Dubtronics Science – Wind Trades

In OM Records’ latest offering, the breezy “Wind Trades” by the renowned J Boogie’s Dubtronics Science adopts a steady beat and bright soundscape, encapsulating the feeling of a relaxing summer day at the beach within a 5-minute instrumental track.  “Wind Trades” is a vibe from the very first note when the strings come in and the break drops. The flute of Carlos Araiza seals the deal and there’s no denying this is another beloved song for the legacy books.
