He is a character artist by the book. His sound is as distinct as his loud laughter and as surprising as the knee-high white energy socks that he likes to wear behind the decks. He is undoubtedly a sommelier of electronic dance music and, depending on the setting and set, sounds so deep, so driving, so groovy…. always extremely enchanting…. and when Dirty plays, it seems as if the dancers leave space and time and are lost in music.
