LIL DIRTY

DJ Lil Dirty – Urban Pioneer from Graz

For over two decades, DJ Lil Dirty, aka Ivo Zaricin, has shaped Austria’s urban scene – first as a dancer, then as a DJ, MC, and event organizer. After early success as a freestyle dancer, he founded Dirty South Entertainment in 2002, now one of the country’s most renowned urban event brands.

As a DJ, he has performed alongside big names like Xzibit, Coolio, Sido, K.I.Z., and DMX, and is deeply rooted in the hip-hop and Latino scenes. In 2019, he launched the Dirty South Club Graz – the city’s first official hip-hop club – serving as a stage, home, and springboard for emerging talent.

DJ Lil Dirty brings not just beats but real cultural history to the stage – and at the HipHop Ball, he delivers the authentic street sound right in the heart of Berlin.
