CHANGE THE BEAT AND DIRTYBIRD RECORDS ARE VERY EXCITED TO LAUNCH THE REMIX CONTEST FOR THE MASSIVE "ENERGY" BY JOANNA MAGIK & SMALLTOWN DJS (FT. TECHNO TUPAC)!
Joanna Magik, with her two-tone hair and athletic energy, is a rising force on the North American dance music scene, with standout sets that blend house, techno, and bass. A former pro snowboarder and Olympic sports announcer, Joanna Magik now channels that same high‑octane energy into releases on labels like Dirtybird, Box of Cats, Space Yacht and Glasgow Underground and more. Her punchy productions have earned support from Claude VonStroke, Kyle Watson, Biscits, and Black V Neck. Her festival highlights include Miami Music Week, ADE, Shambhala, Burning Man and Dirtybird CampOut & CampInn. This winter she’s ramping up for her debut headline tour DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE.
With two decades of boundary-blurring sets and community-building, Smalltown DJs have quietly become Canada’s underground house music heartbeat, and in 2024, they earned a Juno nomination to prove it. Their recent releases on Dirtybird, What To Do, and RDA reflect a duo confident in their craft, still evolving, still chasing the perfect groove.
Dirtybird is an independent electronic music label, events and merch company founded in 2005, and is renowned for its distinctive blend of house music, which combines funky basslines, quirky samples, and a playful, fun vibe. Over the years, Dirtybird has cultivated a roster of influential artists such as Fisher, J.Phlip, Eats Everything, John Summit, VNSSA, Nala and Walker & Royce, among others. Dirtybird has also made a significant impact through its events and festivals, notably the Dirtybird Campout & CampINN.
