HOME presents Dark & Dirty..
Beginning in 2001 on Gold Coast, Australia, the initial Dark n Dirty crew sought to bring a dance music event that was truly underground in sound and feel as Dance Music had begun to become rather commercial and popular. Events had lost there personal connection amongst party goers, artists and music so Dark n Dirty began with an objective to bring back this connection, focusing strictly on an undergroud sound that was still alive, but not being presented frequently enough.

Dark Tribally Progressive was the initial core of the Dark n Dirty sound with events being promoted via non mass means of media, where word of mouth was the most powerful asset. International Students seem to eat up the Dark n Dirty concept, so promotions began heavily focused on attracting this crowd and making them aware that a Dark n Dirty event was in the horizon.

Another key aspect to Dark n Dirty was the promotion and support of highly talented artists who were underground in sound and technically superior against the regular club DJ. These artists included Reza, Alvin K, Veiga, Timmy L and Aidan Rice to name a few, in which all have grown in stature on a national and international stage.

After a successful couple of years on the Gold Coast with guests including Phil K, Misja Helsloot, Chris Fortier and Jono Fernandez, Dark n Dirty was set to expand to Brisbane with more opportunity for growth to occur. Since this home base move, Dark n Dirty has thrown events around Australia, including Canberra and Sydney and with the departure of some of the original resident artists to their national countries, Dark n Dirty is now being thrown in Indonesia and China. This expansion through Asia seems to be the major focus of Dark n Dirty, with an idea of creating a truly underground Asian event. Malaysia, Singapore and Japan are next on the list of countries to enter and with residents holding high reputation around Asia it is certain that Dark n Dirty will continue to grow successfully, finding new artists and keeping the underground sound alive.

Ultimately if venues and clubs can work side by side with the Dark n Dirty concept, the realization of a united underground event for Asia is more likely and this thing called dance music, won't lose its identity and become commercialized like other forms of music.
