DIRTY DRUMMER.
File-Under – Sampled-Soul-Rock-Hip-Hop-Mash-Up. Dirty Dave (aka Charlotte NC based Dave Haire) is a dj/producer/musican/artist who finds inspiration from the last three decades of the last Century – Sixties rock, Seventies Funk and Nineties Hip Hop. The music he produces is a perfect storm of found samples, live drums and other instruments all with a hip hop back baokbone, playing in the world of funk, sould, jazz, fusion, afro beat and downtempo flavors. We at ropeadope caught wind of Dirty Dave via his “Blakey Album” in 2004 which was his answer to the Jay-Z Black Album, putting Jay-z's lyrics over beats comprised and inspired by Art Blakey & Jazz messengers. On the 4 year long project "Dirty's Mobile Beat Shack" Dave gets more than dirty as he let’s freedom ring from the highest mountain top of sampled LPS, and jack-nasty ripping drum beats which are played live on top with a cherry. Perfect soundtrack for spring.
