It makes a lot of sense that each member of Dirtyphonics began playing music in metal bands. Each part of their existence as a band is as informed and inspired by Metallica as much as it is by their countrymen Daft Punk, from their music to their celebrated live show. The band initially formed as a trio in 2004, but wisely they decided to hone their production and songwriting skills for two years before debuting live in 2006. It was another two years before they started releasing records once final member Pitchin had joined, and the preparation had paid off immensely. Almost immediately after their first couple of independent releases they signed to English DJ Shimon’s record label AudioPorn Records.
With AudioPorn they had several succesful releases top the Beatport charts, and it was at this time that their live show started to generate some serious hype for the band. By 2009 they were making appearances at festivals all over the world, from Glastonbury to Pukkelpop by way of SXSW. They were also seriously prolific around the end of the 2000’s, with six singles and E.Ps released in 2009 alone. They started to slow down around the start of the 2010’s, but that was only because they were saving material for the 2013 release of their debut album proper “Irreverence”. Ever since then they’ve remained one of the most exciting acts in EDM, looking set for the kind of worldwide dominance that the likes of Skrillex and Pendulum have seen previously. They’re a group as informed by rock as they are by dance music, and for that, they come highly recommended.

Seeing Dirtyphonics live was an amazing experience for me and my two roommates. Dirtyphonics was often played in our basement when we threw house parties senior year, so when my mom offered to get the three of us tickets to go see Dirtyphonics live as a graduation present, it was a no brainer in terms of going.
Going to Paris post-graduation was amazing enough, but seeing Dirtyphonics at Cabaret Savage for Jungle Juice was truthfully more memorable than the Eiffel Tower in some regards. Between songs like "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites," and "Slow Mo," Dirtyphonics really did remix and put everything he could into this sick live concert, and it was incredible.
The audience was so involved and amped up for this show, jumping and screaming in the flashing lights, it was like the craziest, most intense trip of your life, but even better. The bass was thundering through your body and the strobes were making everybody dancing in the crowd slowly blend together and it was just a huge sensory assault in like the best possible way.
When my roommates and I left after the concert was over, we were all shaking a bit from the experience, but we would've gone back for the rest of our trip to France every day if we could have. Epic, sick music from a truly talented musician.
Awesome show. Great vibe. Excellent opening acts. Really enjoyed 'Never must die'. Good venue. Nice size. Fun light show. Regrettably young crowd. Definitely a fun night, would totally see them again. Electricity is a good venue.
Had one of the best nights of my life!!! Love love love Dirtyphonics!! They never let me down!! They get the crowd so hyped it's incredible!!! Can't wait to see them again!!
