Dirty Disco Youth
Dirty Disco Youth is the solo project of Vienna-born, Hamburg-based producer and DJ Phil Speiser, who began producing and DJing electro house around age 15 in the mid-2000s despite the group-sounding name suggesting a duo. His breakthrough came via an EP released on Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Records, a connection that placed his early work within one of electro house's most visible international labels at the time.
The single "Black Diamond" became one of his more widely circulated tracks, helping extend his DJ bookings beyond his home scene in Germany and Austria. Speiser's rapid rise from a teenage producer to a Dim Mak-affiliated artist reflects the fast-moving electro house scene of the late 2000s, where young producers could reach international labels and DJ bookings quickly through online buzz and blog support.
His DJ sets have leaned on the same high-energy electro house sound that defined his early productions, giving him a consistent identity across both his studio output and live performances. While detailed information on specific club residencies remains limited, Dirty Disco Youth's Dim Mak-era releases and ongoing production work point to a DJ and producer career built on the electro house scene he entered as a teenager.
