Dirty South

Dragan Roganović (born 1978), better known by his stage name Dirty South is a Grammy-nominated, Serbian-Australian DJ, remixer and record producer based in Melbourne.

Born in Belgrade, Serbia, Dirty South's producing career developed in tandem with his DJ'ing career. He got his start at the age of 13 after he relocated to Melbourne, Australia, where he currently resides. Influenced by everything around him, the artist started improvising with his old NEC Hi-Fi and mixing with the tape decks, and then started making bootlegs and mashups, which eventually lead to getting a computer, software and keyboard that resulted in his first official production in 2004 as Dirty South. He used his family computer to create remixes and mashups of other artists' tracks and distributed them worldwide, which caught the attention of Australian Vicious Vinyl records, who signed him up in 2005.

Additionally, he has also been nominated for two Grammy Awards -- he provided a remix for Kaskade's song Sorry, which was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, and he was then nominated in 2011 in the same category, for a remix he and Axel Hedfors did of The Temper Trap's "Sweet Disposition."

Dirty South's track "Phazing," featuring Rudy, was one of the top sellers on Beatport when it was released in 2010. In 2011, he produced the track "Anything" for UK singer/rapper Example's #1 album Playing In The Shadows. And in 2012, he produced the song "Say Nothing," the lead single from Example's fourth studio album "The Evolution of Man." Dirty South has produced, collaborated or remixed for artists such as Snoop Dogg, Pussycat Dolls, Kaskade, U2, Diddy Dirty Money, The Temper Trap, David Guetta, Sebastian Ingrosso and others -- more than 50 artists in total.

In August 2012, Dirty South released the single “City of Dreams” with Alesso featuring Ruben Haze. It was initially released exclusively on Beatport, and it reached the #1 position on the Beatport Top 100 its first week of release. And, in support of “City of Dreams,” the electronic dance artist announced his largest North American tour to date, the “City of Dreams” tour. The 30+ stop tour takes him across North America, September through December 2012, and includes stops at venues such as New York City’s Roseland Ballroom and Los Angeles’ Palladium. - Wikipedia
