Dragan Roganović (Serbian

pronunciation: [drǎgan rogǎːnoʋit͡ɕ];

born 15 November 1978), better known by his stage name Dirty South is

a Serbian-Australian DJ, record producer and remixer based in Melbourne. Born in Belgrade, SFR

Yugoslavia, now Serbia, Dirty South's producing career developed in tandem

with his DJing career. He got his start at the age of 13 after he relocated to

Melbourne, Australia, where he currently resides. Influenced by everything

around him, the artist started improvising with his old NEC Hi-Fi and mixing

with the tape decks, and then started making bootlegs and mashups, which

eventually led to getting a computer, software, and keyboard that resulted in

his first official production in 2004 as Dirty South. He used his family

computer to create remixes and mashups of other artists' tracks and distributed

them worldwide, which caught the attention of Australian Vicious Vinyl records, who signed him in 2005. Since

then, the Australian-based DJ has received numerous honours for his work,

including: two ARIA nominations (Australian Music Industry's top accolade) for

"Best Dance Release" in 2005 and 2006, he was voted "Most

Popular Producer Nationally" in the 2007 InTheMix 50 DJ Poll, he achieved

the number one position in the Australian Club Charts with his remix of "It's Too Late"

by Evermore in late

2006, and he was the first Australian artist since 1999 to win one of Pete

Tong's Essential New Tune awards. He also ranked second in the annual InTheMix

50 DJ Poll in 2007 and he has been ranked in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJ poll

every year since 2007. Dirty South teamed up

with British DJ Paul Harris in 2007 and produced "Better Day," which

earned Dirty South another essential radio play by Pete Tong. He also remixed a number of songs, including

"Reach For Me", "Feels Like Home", and "Higher State

of Consciousness" with fellow Melbournians TV Rock. In late July 2007, he joined together with MYNC

Project to release "Everybody Freakin". Another one of his honours

came when his single, "Let It Go", was released on Axwell's record label Axtone in 2007. Additionally, he has

also been nominated for two Grammy Awards – he provided a remix for Kaskade's song "Sorry", which was nominated for

a 2008 Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, and he was then

nominated in 2011 in the same category for a remix he and Axwell did for The Temper Trap's "Sweet Disposition". Dirty

South's track "Phazing", which featured vocals by Rudy, was one of

the top sellers on Beatport when it was released in

2010. In 2011, he produced the track "Anything" for UK singer/rapper Example's No. 1 album Playing in the Shadows and

in 2012, he produced the song "Say Nothing", the

lead single from Example's fourth studio album, The Evolution of Man.

Dirty South has produced, collaborated, or remixed for artists such as Snoop Dogg, The Pussycat Dolls,

Kaskade, U2, Diddy – Dirty Money, The

Temper Trap, David Guetta, Sebastian Ingrosso and

more than 50 artists in total. In

August 2012, Dirty South released the single "City of Dreams"
