[edit] Biography
[1] Born in Belgrade, Serbia, Dirty South's producing career developed in tandem to with his DJ'ing career. 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 up in 2005.
In late 2006, he achieved the number one position in the Australian Club Charts with his remix of It's Too Late by Evermore, and was the first Australian artist since 1999 to win one of Pete Tong's Essential New Tune awards.
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'." But Dirty South's biggest honour came when his new single "Let It Go," got released on Axwell's record label Axtone. He was ranked second in the annual InTheMix 50 DJ poll in 2007.[2]
Dragan Roganović provided a remix for Kaskade's song Sorry. The remix has been nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording.

Dirty South's new track "Phazing," featuring Rudy, is one of the top sellers on Beatport.
