Works Well With Others

Its hard to believe an entire decade has gone by since Claude VonStroke first released Whos Afraid of Detroit. But believe it or not, weve reached the 10 year mark of one of the biggest hits of Claudes career, and we felt its about time for some fresh takes on the track that helped launch VonStroke and Dirtybird. 

For the 10 year anniversary, we tapped into the Motor Citys 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 icons 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.

Getreal

Green Velvet

&apos;Get Real&apos; is the new project from legendary producers, Green Velvet &amp; 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.

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. No matter how many knock-backs, no matter how many thankless interim occupations, no matter how many people yell at you each day; theres an overriding deep sense of hope that you WILL make it someday.   The barbed Bootsy-style falsetto narrative comes from VonStroke&apos;s close friend Barry Drift - who you may recognise from Urban Animal&apos;s Sugar &amp; Cinnamon - and his sermon is complemented by an obese acid groove that thunders unrelentingly beneath. Fluctuating analogue funk, it taps into the deepest tech DNA with a lava-like flow. Instantly infectious (like all the best acid tracks) the groove carries so much weight weve included a dub version, too.   On the flip, Eye I Eye is equally heavy and twice as twisted. A simple vocal shot is mangled, wrangled, and tangled in the way only Claude knows how. Warped and wonderful, the vocal and processed percussion rise and excite with a strong sense of dirtybird insanity before plunging into juicy tech-funk groove. Mischievously jacking with a robust bass/kick play-off, more processed vocal shots enter the fray along with eerie risers that ghost up and down the scale with a fun sense of unpredictability.   A finer insight into the dark and devious mind of the dirtybird bossman you will not find. The question is: did his hard pre-fame Cali slog create this twisted mindset... Or was it already in place before he got there?

CaliFuture

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 Animal&apos;s jungle.  Claude VonStroke&apos;s third original album and the 100th release for dirtybird is indebted to this bold and bestial inner-city lifestyle, but its also a product of its creator; a unique subspecies steeped in that San Franciscan sound, intersecting unknown terrain on instruction of the inimitable dirtybird label boss.AJust as Urban Animal&apos;s artwork reconstructs photography of derelict city architecture from Detroit and the Midwest into three compelling animal portraits, so too has Claude VonStroke sampled unexpected sounds from his chaotic working environment to create the ten intriguing tracks that make up his full length composition. Think of VonStroke as a modern day, West Coast Frankenstein, his creature a rugged arrangement of the most discordant, unlikely parts whilst somehow brimming with beauty and human appeal.  Spanning genre, space and mood, Claude VonStroke&apos;s Urban Animal is as unpredictable and bewildering as any living entity.
