Dirty Hit is on a roll this year.

Following the release of The 1975’s fourth critically acclaimed album, Notes on a Conditional Form, plus the self-titled debut from Japanese-born British pop/electronic artist Rina Sawayama, the label is now gearing up for beabadoobee's first record, Fake it Flowers.

Dirty Hit is currently home to Oscar Lang, Wolf Alice, No Rome and The Japanese House.
