A short while back we gave you the heads up on Dirtybird’s five-year spanning, three-disc compilation, and now its release date has finally arrived. A bonus track that didn’t make it on Five Years of Dirtybird, “Hakazou!,” by Berlin’s sub-loving duo Hickup, is a bouncing slice of heavily percussive club music that boasts one of the thickest grooves we’ve heard in a while. Quick vocal stabs and reverberated bird noises are peppered throughout the track’s six minutes, which are also complimented by a rolling cowbell and some sinister synth sounds. “Hakazou!” is stellar counterpart to the fresh-faced pair’s track that did make it on Five Years, “Hickup Theme.”
