History
Originally formed as a production trio consisting of Shadi, Waspy and Tonez, the group has since evolved their live show, with Shadi and Waspy taking the stage as an electronic duo.[8] Their rich musical backgrounds have equipped DR with an undeniable ability to light up a crowd. Shadi grew up studying jazz and playing soul and R&B while Waspy was playing drums in punk and metal bands. This distinct history gives them a unique perspective on how they approach making music together. Starting with Waspy's beats and building from there with Shadi's hypnotic melodies, DR is hands on with every aspect of the creation and production of their work. This attention to detail has enabled DR to collaborate with respected producers and DJs from around the world. Tracks with Young Franco (Australia),[9] Mike Mago (Holland),[10] Jean Tonique (France),[11] Favulous (Italy),[12] Sleepy Tom (Canada),[13] and Just Kiddin (UK) have garnered online love and international airplay from radio stations such as BBC Radio1Extra and Triple J Australia.[14]
Dirty Radio released their first full-length album "Debut" in August, 2010 with the singles "My Heart ft. Sherry St. Germain" and "Wanna Ride" both charting on the Billboard Canadian Emerging Artists Chart.[15] In 2011, follow-up single "Ground Shake" was released to radio in Canada, receiving regular rotation on stations nationwide.[16] In March 2012, "Pressure" from Debut was sampled by Rusko and released on his album Songs, receiving acclaim from Pitchfork Media who in their review of the album highlighted the band's "commanding vocal performance."[17]
