Birdy Nam Nam is a DJ crew from France. Birdy Nam Nam won several prizes throughout their career including the DMC Technics 2002 World TEAM Championships. Birdy Nam Nam's goal was to use the turntable player as an actual musical instrument. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2006 on Uncivilized World Records, and in March that year, they performed at the internationally renowned music conference SXSW. The group's name is taken from a line in the 1968 Peter Sellers film The Party, directed by Blake Edwards.[1]

History

[edit | edit source]

Birdy Nam Nam sources their music from friends and their own albums, pressing beats and patterns into vinyl to assemble their music live.

In 2010, the band won the Electronic or Dance revelation of the year at the Victoires de la Musique. In 2012 they gained a wider audience in the Anglophone world thanks to Skrillex. At the Festival des Artefacts in Strasbourg, Skrillex played after Birdy Nam Nam and was impressed.[2] He decided to remix their song Goin' In multiple times, and to release a remix album of BNN songs on his label Owsla.
