The Dirty Criminals

Band, US
Dance

Three bad guys from Chicago, called the Dirty Criminals: DeeCoy, Hieroglyphic Being and Traxx. DeeCoy, influenced by the 80s pop and New Wave became an addict to the music in Chicago's legendary "Medusas". Familiarized with a band-spectrum from Depeche Mode until Joy Division and once creating electronic sounds with his classy casio, he's now jetting around the world with his "dirty" collegues. Hieroglyphic Being startet his electronical carreer known as Nature in a crew named galaxy in 89-90 during Chicago's Liquid Love Summer Parties. This was also the place where Hieroglyphic improved his skills of creating music and learned to DJ and where he has been found by Steve Poindexter, who kept him into the chicago bad boys collective and within to the House Culture. Traxx himself was also growing up in Chicago, where he mixed different genres from gospel to hip hop into something more than an underground phenomenon. Without discrimination or elitism, TRAXX composes different and innovative tunes and became the underground-hero of the city. TRAXX, the founder of the Soul Foundation Kollective, started spinning in basements around Chicago and rocks the turntables like no other actually in top clubs, underground venues and worldfamous festivals. These guys, individually and collectively, are representatives and purveyors of the Dirty Chicago House Sound that's been forgotten by many...
