Dirtybird Shares 12-Track 'D-Hauz Lab' Compilation Created During 'Flight Week Brazil' Writing Camp
Dirtybird today unveils D-Hauz Lab, the 12-track compilation born from the label’s 2025 Flight Week Brazil writing camp in Belo Horizonte.
Bringing together a new class of artists into the Dirtybird flock, D-Hauz Lab captures the spontaneous collaborations, unexpected pairings, and fast-paced creative exchange that defined the week-long sessions. Flight Week Brazil marked the first international edition of Dirtybird’s writing camp series, expanding the concept beyond its San Francisco hometown with collaborative studio sessions in Belo Horizonte and a multi-city tour throughout Brazil.
More than a dozen artists contribute across D-Hauz Lab, with BadComppany and Belami making multiple appearances alongside DJ Glen, Breaking Beattz, Sudden Heat, Pitros, Ishimaru, Ribguga, João Pastor, LINTZ, and Breno Miranda. The project touches on the many flavors of Brazilian house and techno, from the overzealous synthwork of ‘No C’ and rambunctious rhythms of ‘Maracatecno’ to the soft melodies of ‘Lose Me’ and rolling deep tech of ‘All Day Long.’ In typical Dirtybird fashion, D-Hauz Lab maintains a shared pulse, with flirtation, groove, and playful club energy creating a cohesive thread across tracks like ‘Say My Name,’ ‘Booty Bang,’ and ‘Tease Me.’
At its core, D-Hauz Lab extends Dirtybird’s longstanding connection with Brazil and the sounds the label has championed there for over a decade. The compilation bridges recurring names like DJ Glen, BadComppany, and Ribguga with newer additions including Breaking Beattz, Sudden Heat, Pitros, and Belami, expanding that relationship through a rising generation of Brazilian talent. Flight Week Brazil turned Dirtybird’s history in the country into a collaborative new chapter, giving artists the space to meet, experiment, perform together, and shape a body of music that reflects where that relationship is headed next.
