I saw him in Dublin about a few months ago as well and I really enjoyed his set, deep techy and funky. I spent most of the night on the dancefloor. No regrets. Dirtybird 006 Claude Vonstroke - Beware of the bird is a brilliant release. But I am a sucker for that sound anyways, especially the stuff coming out on Audiomatique right now.
First I thought he was German and now I find out he is from the burbs of Detroit. But I guess Barclay Crenshaw does not exactly roll off the tongue like Claude Vonstroke. cTp -----Original Message----- From: Cyclone Wehner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 10:43 PM To: Svagr, Jodie Cc: Placid; list 313 Subject: Re: (313) Claude VonStroke I looked him up on imdb - he was location manager for Batman & Robin or something! There's one song on his CD that is Bukem like drum 'n' bass that I really like. Maybe it's near the end.
