Celebrating your birthday usually entails a nice dinner, maybe some cake, and, if you are feeling up for it, drinks at the bar. But if you are superstar DJ, that just won't do. Serbian-born Aussie DJ Dirty South knows that, so he's enlisted the help of Opium Group to help him celebrate. Saturday, Mansion will host a special birthday celebration for the house DJ during its Others Play House, We Play Mansion party along with Laurent Simeca. (Can't make it Saturday? Dirty South will keep the party going Sunday at SET, as well.) Dirty South, AKA Dragan Roganoviæ, has risen to the top in a short amount of time, including coming in at number 75 in DJ magazine's Top 100 DJs poll - down from number 59 last year. Tickets cost $30 via wantickets.com, though, if you plan on attending Sunday night as well, we recommend the combo pack for $60 - a savings of $10.
