Dirtybird Summer
Dirtybird Summer goes down on Friday, July 8, at Mezzanine. 9 p.m., free before 11 p.m. with RSVP, $20 after; www.mezzaninesf.com.
Over a few short years, Dirtybird progressed from a recurring, barbecue-fueled day party in Golden Gate Park to a record label earning international recognition for its bass-centric and blippy techno and house explorations. Founders Claude VonStroke, Worthy, and brothers Christian and Justin Martin are DJing this week to celebrate the season as well as the next release from their label, a full-length collection of remixes by VonStroke called Makeovers.
