Dirty Hit is a British independent record label founded in December 2009 by Jamie Oborne,[1] Brian Smith, and former England footballer, Ugo Ehiogu.[2] It is currently based in West London, England.[3] Their releases are distributed to digital platforms by Ingrooves Music Group.
Since Dirty Hit's inception, Oborne has been the main driving force behind the label. Previously part of a signed band, he moved into artist management aiming to provide artist support.[4] Providing a platform for two acts that Oborne managed, was the main motivation behind starting the label. Both The 1975 and Benjamin Francis Leftwich thus became the first signings.[5]The 1975 were the first act on the label to achieve mainstream success, having achieved a number 1 on the UK Albums Chart in September 2013 with their eponymousdebut album.[6] Oborne also manages some of the groups on the label through his All On Red management company.[7] In February 2019 it was announced that The 1975 had signed a new three-album deal with the record company.[8]
In May 2017, the label organised the Dirty Hit Tour featuring Superfood, King Nun and Pale Waves.[9]
