Producing DJ, Dragan Roganovic, or Dirty South, has had quite the journey experimenting with sound throughout his lifetime, improvising mixing with turntables for mixing with tape decks at just the ripe age of 13. As he grew older, his appetite for production grew as well, intently working on remixes and mashups of other artists’ tracks and as a result, 2004 saw the first release under the moniker Dirty South. Moreover, Dragan distributed his own productions worldwide, and in doing so, eventually caught the eye of Australian Vicious Vinyl Records, who went on to sign him in 2005. Shortly there after, came an influx of releases and remixes, all adorning the Dirty South name.
Known for memorable anthems like “Open Your Heart” with Axwell and “How Soon Is Now” with David Guetta and Sebastian Ingrosso, Dirty South is definitely a staple on the iPod of any dance music fan. As a producer, he has been nominated for and won a numerous amount of awards and accolades including being nominated for a Grammy twice and having many releases called an “Essential New Tune,” by the legendary Pete Tong. Currently, Dirty South has just released his brand new artist album, Speed of Life. And by recently, we mean only days ago. Currently sitting at the #2 position on iTunes overall Dance chart, Speed of Life is inspired by his many adventures around the world, coincidentally, the album was made almost entirely on the road. And with the announcement of his North American tour and an impending Essential Mix coming out later this year, 2013 looks to be the year of the Dragan.
