Birdy Nam Nam is a French electronic music group that has carved out a unique space within the realm of turntablism and electro beats. Formed in 2001, the group consists of four DJs—Crazy B, DJ Pone, DJ Need, and Little Mike—all of whom were seasoned turntablists before coming together to form the collective. They named themselves after the Peter Sellers film "The Party," which features the nonsensical phrase "birdie num num" as a running gag.

The quartet quickly gained attention for their skillful manipulation of turntables as instruments, creating music that blends hip-hop, funk, and a variety of electronic genres. Birdy Nam Nam's breakthrough came in 2002 when they won the DMC World DJ Team Championships, showcasing their incredible synchronicity and innovative use of the turntables. Subsequently, their career began to soar with a succession of releases that melded technical wizardry with dancefloor sensibilities. Their recent projects such as "New Future," "Dance or Die," and an array of remix collections, including "Defiant Order (Remixes Project)" and the "DJ Selects" series, showcase a persistent evolution in style and a willingness to explore new sonic territories. By pushing the boundaries of what turntables can do, Birdy Nam Nam has solidified their reputation as pioneers in the electronic music scene, offering a unique and compelling auditory experience.
