For too long, guitar-fancying indie types have been the designers behind the best contemporary urban clothing, leaving electronica fans feeling a little left out. March 2009 saw all that change, though, with the launch of Dirty Smart: a t-shirt label by clubbers, for clubbers. The self proclaimed ‘electro house clothing label’ has hit the ground running with its first collection of sharp print tees having already gathered a slew of high profile DJ endorsements.

With 'Top Tee' awards from Zoo magazine and Mixmag secured in the week of their launch, it’s no wonder a house jock with releases on Subliminal and Toolroom behind him, Birmingham’s’ Funkagenda, has been quick on the up-take. And with the likes of sampling house and breaks masters Utah Saints, chart topping electro-housers Bodyrox and riotous upstarts the Hoxton Whores also getting into Dirty Smart, isn’t it time you checked the label out?

Electro’s bright colours, high energy and futuristic elements are all captured in the t-shirt designs and are complemented by a respect for the medium with vinyl crucifixes also featuring: look out for the new collection come August 09.

March 6th saw Dirty Smart launch at the Mint Lounge in Manchester, with guest DJs Kurd Maverick, Filthy Rich and Bass Weazal rocking the dance floor until 5am - looking sharp all the while in a selection of Dirty Smart tees. Each design is limited to 2, 500 units to avoid market saturation, and you can even enter a competition to have your design rolled out courtesy of Dirty Smart later on this summer. In the mean time if you fancy a jaunt to the White Isle then treat your mouse to a visit to www.dirtysmart.com for a hassle free online shopping experience, and the chance to win an all expenses paid trip to Ibiza with every purchase you make.

Dirty Smart is finally a clothing brand the dance community can get behind so don’t sniff at the chance to pimp your standard clubbing fare with some dance inspired design gems, and leave mass produced and dull high street couture wisely in your wardrobe.
