A year after drawing thousands to the Embarcadero in San Francisco, homegrown electronic music label Dirtybird will throw the second-annual free Back to Baysics dance party at Embarcadero Plaza on June 14.
The influential San Francisco label’s D.I.Y. beginnings trace back to 2005, when it emerged as a champion of funky, bass-heavy dance music with an outsider appeal. Dirtybird has since been acquired by San Francisco-based, globe-spanning label EMPIRE in 2022, and has thrown numerous high-profile events with a who’s-who of electronic music. (The Dirtybird Campout, coming to Mendocino in July, features major artists like Jungle, Aluna and Justin Martin.)
Last summer, Back to Baysics packed the plaza with electronic music lovers of all ages who came to see Belgian DJ Sacha Robotti and local acts Deron Delgado and Moody Jones. The DJ lineup for this year’s party has yet to be announced.
