EMPIRE Acquires Dirtybird File Label

Famed report label and distributor EMPIRE has acquired the underground home music imprint Dirtybird.

The announcement of the acquisition was made at this 12 months’s Amsterdam Dance Occasion (ADE). The deal reportedly marks the primary foray into the digital music scene for EMPIRE, who predominantly works with artists from the worlds of hip-hop and R&B, like Grammy Award-winning artists Kendrick Lamar and Anderson .Paak.

EMPIRE’s acquisition successfully bridges two Bay Space music powerhouses.

“Rising up in San Francisco and the Bay Space at giant, dance music has all the time been an enormous a part of our music scene,” mentioned EMPIRE CEO and founder Ghazi in an announcement. “EMPIRE at its core is an organization that’s for the tradition. Dirtybird embodies the unbiased ethos and understands the cultural nuance of every thing San Francisco and dance music.”
