incl claude vonstroke remix

our boss claude vonstroke is the busiest guy we know. when hes not traveling the world or curating an event, hes in the studio every day putting in hours upon hours, relentless in perfecting his craft. hes had a slew of hits the past couple years in the form of remixes and collaborations, and now with the walay (my bae) ep, claude gets back to some inventive and somewhat out of the box solo works. the title song leads with a melodic riff and an funky vocal that sounds like a defective cyborg is proclaiming love for his partner, walay. this quasi-human uses the slang my bae to try and pass for human and we almost believe in his passion. the sound harkens back to old classic rave tracks but also pushes very modern production techniques. on the flip, raw nerve is an emotional exploration in both sounds and lyrics. a melancholy vonstroke dives deep into his insecurities and fears with sonically mutated lyrics like im feeling so sad, im feeling real bad today. when i see you on the street i dont want to compete. you can feel the social instability oozing out of the vocal only to come back at the close with a violently hard bassline embodying the personal angst and frustration that goes along with not fitting in.

2016 was a banner year for dirtybirds founder, claude vonstroke. he debuted his get real alias with green velvet in the winter, and followed up with another number one single in the spring with the rain break. he celebrated the 10th anniversary of whos afraid of detroit to kick off the summer, and finished in the fall by being crowned americas best dj by pioneer at a ceremony he shared with all the fans at the dirtybird campout. after a relentless touring schedule the first half of 2017, claude hit the studio with a couple ace producers, will clarke & sébastien v to collaborate on two giant singles for the works well with others ep. tiny tambourine is the product of will clarke & claude working together. its a bit of a misnomer, as tiny is the last word to describe the heavy bassline which starts to form immediately at the tracks outset. continuing to build over crisp and heavy beats and outbursts of drama before dropping back to the burly bassline, the result is monstrous. will clarke has been on a dirtybird hot streak having released 3 solo eps, 5 singles, an appearance on justin martins album, as well as a brand new collab with shiba san on the bbq compilation and a full takeover on the birdhouse radio show. on the flip side, claude teams up with one of dirtybirds freshest talents, sébastien v, for daylight dark room a light, melodic tone contrasts with a dark and funky acid resonance to create a truly unique masterpiece. the mysterious sébastien v was also featured on the dirtybird bbq compilation with his super-hot track funkulate, and there are rumors floating around that he is actually someone from the core dirtybird roster sporting a secret alias.

originally released on claude’s own label dirtybird “lfo i love you” gets a 2016 polish with great remixes from the d-floor owners nice7 and keinemusik artist david mayer.

it s hard to believe an entire decade has gone by since claude vonstroke first released who s afraid of detroit but believe it or not, we ve reached the 10 year mark of one of the biggest hits of claude s career, and we felt its about time for some fresh takes on the track that helped launch vonstroke and dirtybird. for 10 year anniversary, we tapped into the motor city s outstanding talent pool and enlisted an amazing lineup of detroit artists to help us celebrate. besides claude vonstrokes brand new 2016 remix, we also included mixes from techno icones octave one, minimal techno pioneer marc houle (windsor is close enough!), and the accomplished trio visionquest. not limiting the detroit based artist package to just the music, the haunting release artwork comes to us from michigan illustrator dan may. in addition, a dark david lynch style music video comes from award winning detroit director, anthony ernest garth. whos afraid of detroit remixes,will be released on the 10th anniversary of the movement festival in what city? detroit, of course.

april showers bring may flowers, but this april claude vonstroke brings you the rain break. inspired by two different songs from the 80s - (razes classic break for love and oran juice jones the rain), claude has replayed and re-sung all the music from scratch to make a special cover tune of both tracks changed and combined into a surefire dirtybird classic. to quote vonstroke, i kept singing the break for love bassline over and over again in my head but the vocal that always popped in over the top was from the oran juice jones. i cant explain why that happened but i just thought they went together so well that i ran with it.here comes the b is a much weirder affair. built with massive psychedelic effects, a huge kick and almost no hi-hat pattern, this is late night cavemen music at its best. this big release from cvs will have you wishing for a downpour so you can go walking in the rain.

get real is the new project from legendary producers, green velvet & claude vonstroke. the pair, hailing from chicago and detroit, headed out on the road together for a string of shows at the tail end of 2015. get real was born and vonstroke was soon heading to green velvets chicago studio to work on new music. the result of that trip is the debut get real ep featuring two slices of amazing future funk from two creative giants.

following up his recent debut sets in the vast sahara structure at coachella, claude vonstroke has just unveiled his new solo ep barrump

less than a year since he served up his third album *urban animal*, claude vonstroke delivers more brand new original material! based on the personal experience of starting at the bottom selling fake perfume out of the the trunk of his car, *califuture* foretells the sunny-sided ironies experienced by the legions of fame and heat-seekers who head out to the golden state each year in the pursuit of the dream.

drawing from his inspirations like never before, urban animal is claude vonstrokes most personal lp to date. naturally this remix package has been curated with the same amount of passion and features some of the california birdmans favourite producers. solomon (diynamic) and dixon (innersions) - old friends and kindred bolster the original message of the album with clarity and creativity!

stuck in the 9-5 grind, stifled by the impersonality of constant social media and mobile interaction, contemporary urban life can be suffocating. for a certain breed, release cannot be found in the vast, unpopulated great outdoors. urban animals congregate in heaving warehouses, seeking solace in the liberating beats of the kick drum. they are bound not by association, but through a shared experience of primal relief felt in those shadowy, dance floor corners swelling with the sounds of low end frequencies and brazenly sculpted grooves. this is the urban animals jungle.

dood, the second single from claude vonstrokes forthcoming album, urban animal. dood is inherently dirtybird and the one youve been waiting for if you were expecting something nasty from the project. the heart-squeezing booty-bass-line smacks instantly, while the rumbling drawl of the stoned vocal perfectly encapsulates vonstrokes witty spirit. the track is an homage to the time claude spent in los angeles during the production of the album and really captures the fun, dark edge of that sprawaling so-cal metropolis.

> cant wait<,is reminiscent of some of vonstrokes deeper classics while also pushing further into new territory. a sense of restraint and release play games throughout this melancholy tune with a fat bassline locking down the groove. >cant wait< has fleeting moments of euphoria that are both surprising and uplifting especially for a summer open air crowd. coming up strong on the b-side, >the clapping track< shows us the fun side of vonstroke where he cuts apart 16 claps and then brings them back together - building up to a standing ovation as a resonate organ sounds. this house anthem has already been destroying the dirtybird ibiza residency and summer festival circuit as well.

limited edition single sided white label. claude vonstroke teams up with jaw, lead singer of the notorious dop crew for a trippy slab of modern funk. this marks the very first time vonstroke has worked with a singer and we think the results are great. jaws smooth falsetto harks back to singers like curtis mayfield and the backing track is filled with trademark dirtybird flavor. the record is a slow building jam that builds into an almost church-like resolution filled with spiraling space echoes and organs that is sure to set off all the right rooms.

the -makeovers- project is a compilation of some of claudes best re-twists, some of which are so far removed they can almost be considered original works. this special edition vinyl includes one of the most sought after remixes, -warpaint- originally by pocket 808 in australia, vonstroke turned this into a late night anthem in 2007. played by techno djs, dubstep djs, and everyone in between this track was never cut to vinyl until now. on the flip side claude remixed the nublu orchestra out of new york. he was never completely happy with the original version of the remix and hes gone back and re-made it into a very special piece of music including a new vocal sample from his wife aundy who also did the vocal effects in whos afraid of detroit? this collection was put together with the theme that a remix can be an inspiring starting point for an entirely new piece of music. these are two of the deeper and darker remixes but we think you agree they are also very special.

special re-issue of two great claude vonstroke tracks!

after several hot tunes on worthy’s anabatic imprint, birminghams tom flynn joins the ranks of the dirtybird crew. i ve battle tested the a-side of this record all around the world. >catch that bird< is a rare mix of deep rooted funk whilst also sounding like a caribbean jungle track pitched down to 126. my favorite!
i d play this ep just on the strength of the a-side but i feel like a lot of attention will also be given to the b-side called >rhode island<. this is a classic piece of deep house with all the melodic elements of a dirtybird jam.
tom sent me at least 7 tracks before i signed these so the guy is certainly prolific and i expect to hear quite a bit more from this up and comer this year.
enjoy,
claude vonstroke

the final chapter of vonstrokes limited vinyl album remixes features some seriously low end.
remix #1 is one the favorites of the entire project. claude met brazils dj marky on an artist bus at a uk festival last summer and gave him the track >aundy<. he asked him to do a mix and marky and his friend s.p.y. turned in this amazing drum n bass version. numerous artists have been dropping it even in the middle of house sets! it really captures the drum n bass feeling of the original track taking it back to the genre which inspired it.
remix #2 is from our up and coming bristol based bass prodigy, julio bashmore. he takes on >california< the co-production by cvs and j phlip to another level, adding smooth low end bukem style bass drops and shimmery vox/pad programming to the already insane track. bashmore is one of the few new breed of uk producers who cross over all the way from house to dubstep.

i am europe is not only a lyrical genius, it sends you on a disco - ride, building up and breaking down to finally echo the great entertainers mind about europe, a toilet with no seat, flushing tradition down.

galens original mix is a stellar funky techie house thumper with some nice james bond influenced horn stabs and bouncy melodies that inter-play skillfully with the subbie bass line. of the two remixes on the b-side claude vonstroke steps up first with his cant miss minimal funky dirtybird style. rob mello closes out with a sultry, techie acid house flavored journey featuring long modulationsweeps perched on a chunky bass line.

limited to 300 copies only! two killer remixes of tracks taken from the critically acclaimed claude vonstroke album >bird brain<. bruno pronsato and stimming offer their own dancefloor takes on each track.

a salute to the boobs. claudes super low down, >big n round< gets a supremely filthy treatment by some of his favorite producers of the year. the a-side is maetriks smashing >feel dem boobies< mix, a relentless tech funk bomb with a heavy beat rooted deep in the earth. the flip is the amazing holger zilske, delivering a super freaky computer-flavored funk mix.
claude vonstrokes hit album >bird brain< has been remixed by some of the best producers in the world from carl craig to robag whrume. dirtybird has decided to release the majority of remixes on vinyl in a series of very limited pressings throughout the next few months. each record will have 300 copies only.

this time its >the greasy beat<, the famed cvs / bootsy collins collaboration. continuing with the theme of claudes favorite producers - robag wruhme steps in for his first appearance on dirtybird. we are honored to have him on this release as he has heavily influenced both claude and justin martin over the years.
the other side features the young j. phlip, delivering her mad breaks/house version that always raises the roof at dirtybird events.
also, a super cool appearance by dop who made their debut on mothership last year as guests on the catz n dogz album. we are very happy to have them back for this special record.

straight off the heels of his highly successful bird brain album teaser tracks, aundy and beat that bird comes the definitive claude vonstroke record everyone has been waiting for. the a side is classic genius cvs at work. he constructs a mad vocal pattern up and down through 4 octaves and all the vowel sounds of the live human voice. then he creates a chord out of the notes all coming together for en even bigger surprise in the 2nd half. this track is quite simply unique. there is nothing else like it. the b-side resembles the freaky side of cvs harking back to the tech funk sound of tracks like chimps. this time claude makes an ultra-wide filter sweep sound like a pair of humongous tits bouncing up and down on a trampoline. the boob jokes are there but the track is so filthy dirty its hard to even find time to chuckle.

>who is the person you would most like to work with?< for claude vonstroke, its definitely bootsy collins - the biggest personality in parliament funkadelic and funniest character the funk world has ever seen. we couldn’t be any more excited to have bootsy on dirtybird and this crazy collaboration of styles is the lead single on claude vonstroke’s 2nd album, “bird brain.” if you haven’t heard of bootsy we couldn’t write it better than rolling stone… “bootsy collins’ rubber band was the most entertaining and longest-running spin-off of george clinton’s eternal p-funk circus, and that’s because bootsy is a true star, the clown prince of comic, psychedelic, good-times funk – if he weren’t such a genius of the bass, you’d think he was jimmie walker in a sequined costume, star-shaped mirrored shades included. his career is like a horatio alger story based in chocolate city: plucked from teenage obscurity in 1969 to play with james brown, the former william collins of cincinnati brought a slap-happy zest to jb’s sound, then hooked up with clinton and was reborn in his image, with a little help from lsd.” it is certain that claude vonstroke is not nearly as accomplished as bootsy collins, but he takes the same tongue-in-cheek approach to his music and that’s why this collaboration really works. both claude and bootsy believe you got to get up for the down stroke and there’s no way to fake the funk or your nose will grow, pinocchio!

this is the first ep from claude vonstrokes new album due out october, 2009. it represents the deeper, moodier shades of the full-length project. the lead track, >aundy< is featured prominently as the closing music for claudes epic fabric 46 mix to be released on the same day as this vinyl. it is also a homage to the 90s drum bass sound of people like ltj bukem and good lookin records. on the flip, >storm on lake saint claire< is a vibing summer track that builds and sways with cascading melodies raining down on your ears. it is a perfect building block for bridging the gap between moody house and big room thunder.

supported by 3 channels, italoboyz, mike monday, john acquaviva, p.toile. the deep jungle can be an intimidating place. home to bird-eating spiders, deadly jaguars, and fierce natives, most ordinary folks wouldn’t last more than a day. fortunately, the jungle also holds plenty of swingable vines, feastable roots & berries, and the great scarlet macaw. label boss claude vonstroke’s first record on mothership is an ode to this majestic bird.

claude vonstroke returns with his first original record in over a year. this time he partners with long time friend and upcoming producer, christian martin. this is a melodic hybrid of techno and house with influences as far away as drum n bass. the flip side features a remix by super hot producer gabriel ananda and newcomer alice rose. they playfully twist the main theme throughout, sprinkling in stabs to the constantly building groove. many people have said the original record sounds like a follow-up to >whos afraid of detroit?< but we will let you decide what to think for yourself.

big with steve bug, jimpster, ewan pearson, james holden, kiki, sebo k, crock, marc romboy, agoria, mike monday, 3channels, fabrice lig, 2000andone, james flavour, pascal feos, philip sherburne,… big! plasmik – our connaisseurs for deep and oldschoolish techno tracks, were quite successful in 2007. their interswap release from april 2007 found its way in several top dj charts and on great compilations and mix-cds. due to this and also our celebration of our 20th catalogue number, we proudly present an extraordinary remixpackage, split into two parts. part 1 features supertubos in a remix by another king of oldschoolish techno – matt o brien. on side b, afrilounge gives mindpattern a special string treatment. part 2 has to be in no way inferior in the choice of the remixers. on the a-side, claude vonstroke goes with pitch it as deep as he has never gone before and on the b, perspectiv newcomer minz gives the dancefloor a lesson in hypnotizing state of minds
