Listen to Dirtybird x Northern Nights 2025 sets from UNIIQU3, J. Phlip & More

The inaugural Dirtybird x Northern Nights convergence unfolded July 18–20, 2025, in a wooded NorCal setting beside the Eel River. We’ve collected select live sets from the weekend so you can relive the performances.

Listen to exclusive hour-plus mixes from Jersey Club innovator UNIIQU3, globe-traveling DJ and EMPIRE’s dance GM Moody Jones, house producer Life On Planets and long‑time Dirtybird staple J. Phlip. Together they make up roughly four hours of live music recorded during the festival.

The weekend also featured headline appearances by Zeds Dead, Jungle, Aluna, Justin Martin, Levity and Walker & Royce, plus abundant daytime programming that complemented the after-dark sets.

This collaboration marked Northern Nights’ first co-produced event with the Dirtybird brand — a partnership realized after Dirtybird’s acquisition by EMPIRE — aimed at refreshing the festival experience while honoring both organizations’ roots.

“As the label was undergoing a leadership change under EMPIRE, it was important for us to take a step back and plan for the next evolution of the brand and the fan experience,” said Moody Jones. “We knew we had to bring it back, and we know how much the fans have missed it, so it was a matter of timing it right.”

Northern Nights co-founder Andrew Borgelt added, “From our very first conversation it was clear we shared a strong connection within the same music community. Both teams stayed committed to a united vision — making sure each brand’s voice was preserved while blending the identities of both festivals.”
