After six years of hosting The Birdhouse on SiriusXM, Claude VonStroke is stepping down. With his departure comes a rebrand of the show to Dirtybird Radio, as well as a new host, Victoria Rawlins.
Over the last couple of years, Rawlins has become a cherished member of the Dirtybird family. During quarantine when Dirtybird was still running their Twitch channel, Dirtybird Live, Rawlins played her show, Psychic Basslines, every week. Hers was the longest-running program, sticking with the channel until it ceased operations back in October.
Catching VonStroke’s attention with her esoteric, vinyl-only selections, he soon started booking Rawlins at various Dirtybird parties including the debut resort fest Dirtybird CampINN and the most recent edition of Dirtybird Campout.
Now Rawlins is bringing her expert selectorial skills to the airwaves every week along with a wide variety of special guests. So far some of the artists she has welcomed include Octopus Recordings boss Sian, DJ extraordinaire Gina Turner, and the open format producer Danny Goliger. Expect more impressive artists to bless the channel in the coming weeks including VonStroke himself.
Tune in to Dirtybird Radio with Victoria Rawlins on Apple Podcasts, Mixcloud, and TuneIn. Or listen live every Friday night on SiriusXM at 8PM PT / 11PM ET on Diplo’s Revolution Channel 52.
