Dragan Roganović (Serbian: Драган Рогановић) (born c.1978, SR Serbia, Yugoslavia), best known as Dirty South, is a prominent DJ, remixer and record producer from Melbourne, Australia.

The family of Roganović relocated to Australia when he was 13 years old; his mixing career began by using a 2 deck NEC tape player to record songs from radio. By then using the pause and play tracks together he created mixtapes to distribute to his friends and by the year 2000 he bought a set of decks to mix in the more traditional style.[1]
Roganovic's producing career developed in tandem to his DJ'ing career, he used his family computer to create remixes and mashups of other artists tracks and distributed them which caught the attention of Australian Vicious Vinyl records who signed him up in 2005 and allowed him to first prove his skills by remixing and then later creating his own tracks.

In late 2006 he achieved #1 position in the Australian Club Charts with his remix of It's Too Late by Evermore[2] and was the first Australian artist since 1999 to win one of Pete Tongs 'Essential New Tune'. awards[3] It not only rocked the Australian dancing scene, but It's Too Late was also a massive anthem worldwide.
Dirty South teamed up with UK DJ Paul Harris in 2007 and produced Better Day, which earned Dirty South another essential radio play by Pete Tong. He also remixed a number of songs including Reach For Me, Feels Like Home and Higher State of Consciousness with fellow Melburnians TV Rock. Late July he joined together with MYNC Project to release Everybody Freakin'. But Dirty South's biggest honour came when his new single Let It Go got released on Axwell's record label Axtone.
Dirty South provided a remix for Kaskade's song Sorry. The remix has been nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording.

Dirty South is now bestly known for his amazing bootlegs rarely shared.

Dirty South (né Dragan Roganovic) est un DJ, remixeur, et producteur originaire de Melbourne, Australie.

Né en 1978, dans ce qui était la Yougoslavie, devenue Serbie, il déménagea ensuite en Australie à l'âge de 13 ans. Sa carrière de mixeur commença avec de simples appareils à cassette audio sur lesquels il enregistrait la radio, et par une technique combinée de lecture et de pause de bande son il réalisait ses premiers mixs, qu'il distribua par la suite à ses amis. Depuis 2000 il réutilise souvent ce système pour composé des mixs au style traditionnel.

La carrière de producteur de Dirty South s'est développée en parallèle à sa carrière de DJ, il a utilisé son ordinateur personnel pour créer ses remixs et des mashups d'autres voies d'artistes et les a ouvertement distribué, ce qui attira l'attention de l'australien Vicious Vinyl records, une maison de disque spécialisée. cette dernière le fit signer un contrat en 2005 et lui permit de dévoiler son talent en ce qu'il fit en remixant habilement plusieurs sons mais aussi en créant ses propres mix.

En 2006, Dirty South se classa 11e dans le classement du INTHEMIX50 DJ Charts (classement australien de DJ). Fin 2006 il se classa premier de l'australien Club Charts avec le titre "It's too late" d'Evermore. Il fût le premier artiste Australien depuis 1999 à remporter un award au Pete Tongs 'Essential New Tune'. "It's too late" ne se contenta pas de cartonner sur les dance floor australien, puisque qu'il fut largement apprécié sur la scène clubbing internationale.

En 2007 Dirty South s'associa au DJ anglais Paul Harris et produisirent "Better Day" lequel suscita l'intérêt de Pete Tong, devenu par la suite un collaborateur de Dirty South.
Il remixa aussi de nombreux sons, incluant "Reach For Me", "Feels Like Home" et "Higher State of Consciousness" avec la participation de TV Rock, un duo d'artiste de Dance Music egalement originaire de Melbourne reunissant Grant Smillie et Ivan Gough.

En Juillet 2007 Dirty South et TV Rock se joignirent à MYNC project, un DJ anglais, pour le titre "Everybody Freakin".
Dirty South fut classé 2nd au classement des meilleurs DJ et 1er au classement des meilleurs producteurs lors de l'édition 2007 du INTHEMIX50 DJ Charts. Peu de temps après, le magasine australien DJ Mag l'inclua pour la première fois dans son TOP100 à la 98e place.
Fin 2007 Dirty South sort son single "Let It Go" sous le label Axwell.
