Beer and wine will also be available for purchase.</span> <span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With minimum fist-pumping and maximum booty-shaking, the dirtybird BBQ promises to be one of the most down to earth, fun parties of the summer.</span></span></div> <div style="color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Barclay Crenshaw created the quirky alias</span> <span style="font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Claude VonStroke</span> <span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">in 2005 and went on to become one of the most well respected label owners and DJs in dance music. Since the creation of dirtybird, Claude has continued to be the dedicated A&R man, signing over 100 EPs and demonstrating his incredible ear for what works on the dance-floor. This September, a much-anticipated third artist album will come from the dirtybird chief.

Mentored by fellow super producer Claude VonStroke, Justin was intrinsically involved with the development of dirtybird records, appearing on its first four releases. His sound is typically described as “melodic and tough” with his music encapsulating both melody and emotional depth, yet always with enough undeniable ass-shaking properties to translate to the floor.</span></span></div> <div style="color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Kill Frenzy</span> <span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">worked his way into the production game rather quickly after discovering the fast dirty booty house tracks coming from Chicago and Detroit at the age of 17. Not wanting to limit himself to just one style he started working on producing various styles including house, techno, tech-house, and minimal. In 2012 Kill Frenzy debuted on dirtybird with “Make that Booty Clap” featuring DJ Funk, which became a track widely known across the world.</span></span></div> <div style="color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Since 1995,</span> <span style="font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Christian Martin</span> <span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">has been exploring electronic music from full-moon parties in the deserts of California to the thumping, dark corners of the London club scene. He set the standard for a new era of die-hard dedicated DIY producers in 2003 when he bought his first sound system, and since then his devotion to large-scale bass has allowed him to champion the dirtybird sound out of the park and onto giant soundsystems at clubs and festivals worldwide.</span></span></div> <div style="color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After catching ears in 2010 when he won a DJ contest sponsored by</span> <span style="font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">DJ Mag</span><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">,</span> <span style="font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Justin Jay</span> <span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">landed an apprenticeship at</span> <span style="font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Atlantic Records</span> <span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">with DJ Frank E working on dance-infused pop and hip-hop.

First surfacing in 2012, 'Stay' made serious waves amongst the dance circuit, amassing a remarkable 30 million views on YouTube. Quickly establishing itself as a captivating summer-ready anthem, 'Stay' has now summoned a release on dance music's leading labels, Relentless / Ultra. </span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Estonian-born Henry Krinkle began creating music in his bedroom whilst teaching in Shanghai. A well-travelled background, coupled with a thirst for knowledge, laid the foundations for Krinkle's impeccable taste for innovate productions. With notable influences coming from the UK's experimental post-dubstep scene, Henry soon began to introduce a new sound to the nightlife of Shanghai and with that, he crafted 'Stay'. </span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Opening with a soft synth, 'Stay' unravels with an understated kick drum and sensual melody. As the track steadily builds, re-pitched vocals from Alicia Keys,' 'Unthinkable' make for a compelling listen after being officially cleared by the Grammy-award winning singer herself.  </span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Taking cues from the likes of fellow up and coming producers such as Cyril Hahn, Karma Kid and XXYYXX, Henry Krinkle is another name to add to the ever growing list of producers taking contemporary house music by storm. Now residing in LA, he has performed everywhere from impromptu Philadelphia rooftop parties to big rooms in Miami. Tours of Europe, Canada and USA have all shaped his ever-growing following, with support also coming from the legendary Pete Tong and Digital Soundgirl B-Traits. Recent highlights include a headline set at the Temple tent at Bestival, as well as performing a key slot at Hard Day Of The Dead festival in LA alongside dance music superstars Calvin Harris, Deadmau5 and Eric Prydz. </span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Kicking off remix duties for an upcoming package is founding Dirtybird member Justin Martin, who adds a distinct twist of bass to 'Stay' whilst maintaining the hazy groove of the original. With remixes also on their way from Adesse Versions, Kölsch, and Three Bar, each re-work offers something unique to the dancefloor. </span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Henry has also released a steady flow of remixes for established producers including Le Youth's 'C O O L' or Joel Compass' 'Astronaut' over the past two years as his career continues to blossom. With the remix package already in the works featuring Justin Martin, Kölsch, Adesse and Three Bar, expect 'Stay' to enjoy lots of rotation on dance floor throughout summer ahead of its release this coming September. </span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">For more information on <b>Henry Krinkle</b> please visit:</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/henrykrinklemusic" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/<wbr></wbr>henrykrinklemusic</a></span> </span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/henry-krinkle" target="_blank">https://soundcloud.com/henry-<wbr></wbr>krinkle</a></span> </span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://twitter.com/HenryKrinkle_" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/<wbr></wbr>HenryKrinkle_</a></span> </span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">For more information on<b> Justin Martin</b> please visit:</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/justinmartinmusicpage" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/<wbr></wbr>justinmartinmusicpage</a></span>  </span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/justin-martin-music" target="_blank">https://soundcloud.com/justin-<wbr></wbr>martin-music</a></span>  </span></div> <div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://twitter.com/mrjustinmartin" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/<wbr></wbr>mrjustinmartin</a></span>  </span></div> <div> <span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div> </div>
