The bonafide Chicago house legend Gene Farris walks us through his all-time favorite collaborative tunes on Dirtybird.

Hello everyone! Gene Farris here and I’ve curated my favorite Dirtybird collab tracks from over the last few years. This playlist features some of today’s biggest artist's songs that introduced them to the world before they were globally known. I have played most of these songs out over the years and have been lucky enough to be a part of some of these amazing projects, with some of the most talented artists on the planet. I hope you enjoy that as much as I enjoyed putting it together for you guys and gals!

This summer, Gene Farris will be his way to California to hit the decks alongside a stacked lineup of artists during Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights (July 18-20). Secure your tickets here.

Gene Farris, Riva Starr - After Dark (is When We Move)

This song is very dear to me. It was the collaboration between myself and the very talented Riva Starr from Italy.

Gene Farris, Tim Baresko - Fly With Me

This song was a collaboration with myself and French Producer Tim Baresko and was featured on Dirtybird Miami 2019 compilation and did very well in Miami that year. I still love playing this record.

Gene Farris, Sage Armstrong, Basura Boyz - I Don’t Want a Lot

This my latest release on Dirtybird it came out 2025 March of this year. It’s definitely a club banger, and does major damage on dance floors around the globe. It was great working on this one with the boys.

Claude VonStroke, Green Velvet, Get Real - Jolean

This one of my all time favorite tunes on Dirtybird, and an absolute masterpiece. Well done Claude and GV.

Claude Vonstroke, ZDS, KE - Comments

This song I played for a year straight in all my sets, KE (Kid Enigma) lyrics on this song was absolutely flawless to go along with a brilliant track. Very well done boys.

Claude VonStroke, Nala - Everything is Burning

This song is an absolute new classic a masterpiece and still working on dance floors today as if it was released last week. I absolutely love this tune. Well done family!

Claude Vonstroke, Nala - Wet State

This was the first song that I heard after Covid from Nala and it blew my mind! Very Deep and I love listening to this in my car on long drives.

Claude VonStroke - These Notes In This Order (VNSSA Remix)

This song is a monster and was already amazing, and then VNSSA remixes it and made it even better than the original and ready to merk all dance floors world wide. I still love playing this even now.

Claude VonStroke - Storm On Lake St. Clair (Stimming Remix)

This is another one of my favorite driving songs, it’s so trippy and takes your mind on a journey all the way down the highway. Yes I like to drive fast ;)

Strafe - Set It Off (Justin Martin Remix)

This tune came out and really put Dirtybird on my radar and the west coast legend Justin Martin. What a classic tune and I believe set the foundation of what Dirtybird was all about.
