Posted: 17 Dec 2008, 8:50pmSubject: HMC - DJs Downunder Vol 5 - DIRTY HOUSE
I am posting this since there was a request for some Dirty House action in the Ask Khem thread.
Normally I wouldn't post a commercially released CD, but this CD is more than ten years old, I couldn't find it for sale anywhere on the net, and the label that put it out (Reachin Records) shut up shop in 2004.
Dirty House Records was an Adelaide based record label which basically made Adelaide the techno capital of Australia for a while. Tracks by the Dirty House Crew got played by the likes of Carl Cox, 2120, Richie Hawtin, etc...
Here is a brief history of the Dirty House label, words by label boss Cinnaman...

HMC is an Adelaide legend and was widely regarded as Australia’s Godfather of Techno. In the early 80s House Master Cam was among the first DJs in Australia to champion Chicago house and Detroit techno. In the 90s his work on Dirty House and Juice Records helped to put Adelaide on the international map as an 'Aussie Detroit'. HMC scored an international club hit with Phreakin’ and DJed overseas, playing events like Mayday.

Once upon a time… Back in the mid 90s… DJ HMC, Paddee and myself were all involved with Juice Records (which by this time was already established as one of the most respected underground techno labels in the world). We were recording tracks that weren’t fitting into the Juice mould but were something else altogether. I set up Dirty House Records through Intellinet (Richie Hawtin and John Aquaviva) as a vehicle to get this stuff out there. Well… Phreakin’ went ballistic and before we knew it there was a new genre of house music being brandished all over the place – Dirty House! We were a part of the whole crunchy disco resurgence that happened in the mid 90s. I then took over the managing of the pressing and distribution of the label after Dirt 05; just before Intellinet shut down, and decided to continue pressing in the USA and distributing thru NYC. The rest is history I guess – or maybe too long a story!”
“We really worked the sex angle for a number of years, we used sexy images to promote the label and events – back then it was a bit controversial, now it’s become common place. Also, everything we do has collectability to it, from our records, flyers or t-shirts, they’re all limited. There was a stage where I was getting very creative with slogans… I obviously had too much time on my hands! I don’t remember them all but here are a few… Put your mind in the gutter and your ass on the floor… Dirty House Records – The 12” on your deck… Dirty House Records – the torpedo in your speedos… Dirty House Records – no frills just cheap thrills… Dirty House Records – the chlorine in yer gene pool… Dirty House Records – the meat in yer sandwich… Dirty House Records – the cock in yer doodle doo…”
