Dirty Sole is an indie electronic dance music group, consisting of Daniel Anderegg and Richie Heller. The moniker was created by Richie, who wanted to make house music that sounded "dirty", but soulful. The group is based out of Chicago where they originally met, in 2001. Initially, they wrote several projects together before being noticed by Derrick Carter and Luke Solomon (Freaks) who signed them to their Classic Music Company record label. This release was widely acclaimed and topped UK Muzik dance charts at number five alongside Basement Jaxx and Roni Size.

1994-2001: The Beginning
Dirty Sole had an experienced past before joining forces in 2001. Both artists came from a strong musical background, as Daniel was a keyboardist and drummer while Richie played the guitar and bass. Prior to their introduction, Daniel was working as a club DJ while Richie worked at Strictly Hype Recordings, the parent company for over a dozen recording labels, including Underground Construction and Afterhours.
2001-2009: Skattered Jazz
After their initial success of Skattered Jazz, the duo recorded commercial work for Nike,_Inc. and Toyota Motor Corporation in a commercial starring Brad Pitt and followed up with singles on Yousef's Carioca imprint and Phil Weeks' Robsoul Recordings. During this time, Daniel also recorded under the guise of No Assembly Firm with acclaimed Chicago DJ Justin Long.
2009-2010: Dangerous Radio
In 2009, Dirty Sole returned to the studio to collaborate with Foremost Poets to write their first full-length album. Initially the album was sold to Four Play Music, under the parent company EsNtion Records, who soon went into bankruptcy following the deal.

In 2016, the group returned to the studio to record a new single with Nick Maurer, formerly of the band Greenskeepers, and was remixed by The_Juan_MacLean from DFA_Records.
