Dirtyphonics is a French electronic music band from Paris, consisting of members Charles-Eric Florian Jacques "Charly" Barranger and Julien Robert Rene "PitchIn" Corrales. Known for blending Drum and bass, Dubstep, and other bass music genres with heavy metal and cinematic influences, the group has been active since 2004.

Signed to labels such as Monstercat, UKF Music, Disciple Records, and Dim Mak Records, Dirtyphonics first gained recognition with their 2008 single "French F**k," which reached number one on Beatport's charts.[1] Their debut album, Irreverence, was released in 2013.[2] Over the years, they have collaborated with major artists including Linkin Park,[3] Skrillex, Kaskade, and Sullivan King, and have remixed tracks for Marilyn Manson,[4] Steve Aoki, and Benny Benassi.

In the 2020s, Dirtyphonics solidified their status in the global bass music scene with releases such as the What The French EP in 2022,[5] and their second album, Magnetic, released on Monstercat in 2024.[6] They have continued to tour internationally and are set to celebrate their 20th anniversary with a headline show at the Bataclan in Paris on April 5, 2025.[7]

History

Formation and early career

Dirtyphonics was founded in 2004 and began performing live shows in 2006. For the first two years, the group consisted of Charly, Thomas Desbouvrie, and Pho. In 2008 PitchIn joined the fold. Their influences include Daft Punk and Pendulum, as well as metal bands such as Metallica and Korn. "Most of us started by playing in metal bands," recalls Charly. "Our sound was always meant to be powerful, high-impact, and precise. From the day we’ve started, we’ve challenged ourselves to create something new - we love to push boundaries."[8] The boys did just that in translating the energy and excitement from their head-banging days to the emergent world of electronic dance music.

In 2008, the group signed to Shimon's label, AudioPorn Records. They released their first single that year, the aptly named "French F**k" which quickly rose to the number one spot on Beatport's charts and stayed there for several weeks.[9] Follow-up singles "Quarks" and "Vandals" proved the act's ascension was no fluke, showcasing the group's signature style-shifting low-end heavy sound. The group quickly became a hot commodity in the remix world, lending their talents to tracks by the likes of Skrillex, The Bloody Beetroots, Marilyn Manson, Benny Benassi, Excision, Datsik, Borgore, Nero, and Linkin Park. In 2013, Thomas quit the band to become an artist as "Matheo de Bruvisso".[10]

2013: Irreverence

In 2009, they earned "Best Newcomer Producer" honor at the Drum & Bass Arena Awards.[8] The next three years were a busy time for Dirtyphonics. They headlined sold-out shows worldwide with everyone from Skrillex and Knife Party to Steve Aoki and DJ Snake. They also made notable appearances at festivals like EDC, Glastonbury Festival, SXSW, Pukkelpop, WMC, Tomorrowland and countless others.

On 19 March they released their first full-length album Irreverence on Dim Mak Records. The album is a heavy mix of anthemic electro, frenetic drum-step, thrash guitars, and pounding drums. It features notable collaborations with Steve Aoki, Foreign Beggars, and Modestep.

2015: Write Your Future

In early 2014, Thomas Desbouvrie resigned from the band to pursue his aspirations in Art. Although one member short, the band lost no speed and continued touring at major festivals worldwide. Finding a second wind in the studio, Dirtyphonics released a collaboration with Zeds Dead, Where Are You Now feat. Bright Lights on Mad Decent. In February 2015, the band released their sophomore Write Your Future EP on Dim Mak Records including collaborations with UZ, 12th Planet, Trinidad James, Matt Rose and Julie Hardy. The band toured the US and Europe while continuing to write much music. Back from tour, the band released Anonymous in homage of their Drum and Bass roots and as a strong statement of their sound. Quickly after, the Write Your Future – Remixes EP came out on Dim Mak Records with remixes from Habstrakt, FuntCase, High Maintenance and Infuze. On 21 October 2015, the band released "Hoverboard", a song they wrote in 2005.[11]

2017: Vantablack

In 2017 Dirtyphonics joined Monstercat to release their “Vantablack EP”[12] in collaboration with Sullivan King. This EP re-assesses their metal roots and cements the heaviness and diversity of their sound. Songs like “Hammer”, “Sight Of Your Soul” and “Vantablack’” gathered over 15M streams on Spotify and landed on major playlists.

2019 to 2023: LIIVE

In 2019 they created and designed a new show to celebrate 10 years on the road. With “Dirtyphonics LIIVE”, Charly and Pitchin headlined festivals in Europe as an homage to their roots. They worked on exclusive music and visuals to create a unique experience. As a part of the Disciple records family, they released “Scars EP”,[13] “Rise From The Dead”,[14] "Gasoline"[15] as well as many collaborations and remixes.

In 2020, Dirtyphonics reinforced their role as ambassadors of French bass music by collaborating with both established and emerging French producers. They released the "What the French EP," a project aimed at unifying the French bass music scene and asserting its unique identity. The EP features collaborations with SampliFire on "Molitor," IVORY on "Bastille," Ecraze on "Pantheon," and Graphyt on "Haxo," each track referencing symbolic locations in Paris significant to Dirtyphonics. The Asymetrics noted, "The idea behind 'What The French' is simple: unify the French Bass music scene and assert its identity."[16]

2023 to present: Magnetic

In 2023, Dirtyphonics released the single "Burbank Nights" on September 6 through Monstercat's Uncaged imprint.[17] The track was featured in the Rocket League x Monstercat collaboration and later included in their second studio album, Magnetic.

Their sophomore album, Magnetic, was released on May 3, 2024, via Monstercat.[18] The 12-track album showcases a blend of drum and bass, dubstep, and metal influences, featuring collaborations with artists such as Circadian, IVORY, SampliFire, and Bossfight. The album received positive reviews for its genre-blending approach and production quality.[19]

To commemorate their 20th anniversary, Dirtyphonics performed a special concert at Le Bataclan in Paris on April 5, 2025. The event marked the culmination of their Magnetic world tour and featured guest appearances by artists including Circadian, ASDEK b2b IVORY, and Deja Vu.[20]
