I, Robotti unfolds as an expansive body of work that reflects the many corners of electronic music Robotti has explored throughout his career. Moving fluidly across tech house, breakbeat, indie dance, peak-time techno, jackin house, and the many subgenres in between, the 22-track album highlights an artist who has long resisted being confined to a single lane. Instead, it embraces the unpredictability that has defined Robotti's path, weaving together club-focused moments with more experimental turns that broaden the scope of the record. Collaboration drives the album's spirit. Robotti brings together a diverse cast of voices, including Perry Farrell, Felix and Eric D. Clark, SYREETA, Sian and JOPLYN, Blakkat, and Victoria Rawlins. Additional appearances from Gene Farris, La Boix (Salva and Thee Mike B), Christopher Coe, Pershard Owens, DJ Rap, BabyGirl, and more further expand the album's sonic palette. Each collaboration adds another layer to the project, reinforcing the sense of shared history and creative exchange that runs throughout the record. Across the album, each track acts as a snapshot of Robotti's sonic journey, mapping the sounds, styles, and relationships that have shaped his evolution over the past two decades. Together they form a narrative that bridges early underground influences with the global dance floor presence he holds today. With I, Robotti, Sacha Robotti delivers a debut album that captures both the breadth of his musical identity and the collaborative spirit that has defined his career, marking a milestone moment while continuing to expand the ever-evolving world of Dirtybird.

The third release from our Brazil writing camp comes courtesy of Breaking Beattz, one of the country's finest exports. With releases on Cloonee's Hellbent, Nervous, Spinnin', Insomniac, Kyle Watson's No Context and plenty more, Rafael showed up to our week in Belo Horizonte with a deep bag of tricks—and he didn't disappoint.\n\n"Booty Bang" lives up to its name with thumping drums, rolling grooves, and a vocal from Ishimaru that's impossible to ignore. On the flip, "Down N Down" takes a smoother route, pairing male and female vocals that play off each other over a warm, feel-good groove. Two sides of the same coin, both unmistakably Breaking Beattz. \n\nVamos!

Warning, this track does drugs. 'Uh Yeah (Thee Acid Song)' is fueled by a trippy, warped voice narrating her fascination and experience with Acid. It's an intense, 303-tinged rhythm put together by everybody's favorite Los Angeles DJ, Thee Mike B. Analog machine scientist, Lubelski, goes for a techno-fused interpretation and slows the beat to a crawl before bringing it back in full force, a vibe reminiscent of Lil Louis' classic 'French Kiss'. Rounding it out is a remix from the eccentric beat-twister, Salva, who turns out a breakbeat version that's ready for battle.

If you've been following Dirtybird for any amount of time—especially over the past decade—you know Brazil is very near and dear to our hearts. We've honestly lost count of how many Brazilian artists we've signed at this point (three dozen?!), but we've never stopped being impressed by the wild, forward-thinking sounds that continue to come out of the country.\nWe'd been trying to get down there for years—we came this close in 2020—and last December we finally made it happen. Seven cities, a whole lot of shows, and right in the middle of it all, a five-day writing camp at D-Hauz Studios in Belo Horizonte.\nBuilding community has always been at the core of Dirtybird, so we tapped into the incredible local scene and brought together a dozen producers, singers, DJs, and instrumentalists to see what kind of trouble we could get into. The week exceeded everything we hoped for: new friendships, core memories, unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, a dozen records we're incredibly proud to finally present as "D-Hauz Lab."\nThe music goes all over the place—in the best way possible. Different genres, weird sounds, fun vocals, banging beats, and plenty of surprises. Exactly what happens when you put a bunch of talented people in a studio for five days and let them cook.\nA massive thank you to D-Hauz for opening their doors and making this possible, and much love to the whole crew: BadComppany, Breaking Beattz, Belami, Breno Miranda, DJ Glen, Jones, Pator, Pitros, LINTZ, Sudden Heat, and Ribguga.\nVamos, família!!

Brazil has been a serious source of heat for Dirtybird lately, and FeelGood has been on our radar for a while. He first landed on Birdfeed years ago, then kept doing what the best artists do: putting in the work, refining his sound, and steadily leveling up until DJs around the world started paying attention.\n"Dirty Fly" is exactly the kind of tune that makes us smile. It's got a loose, mischievous groove, and enough bounce to keep a dancefloor moving without ever feeling predictable. Equal parts playful and dangerous, this one carries that unmistakable Dirtybird strut.
