I did the most hilarious interview with Fedde Le Grand and he
actually made the record as a tribute to Detroit as the home of house
music and the Warehouse..... nothing to do with techno. Someone needs
to read up on his history. LOL.

This is even whilst knowing I have not heard anything by him? Then
again, I didn't need to hear 'Put Your Hands Up the ****h*** of
Detroit'
(or whatever it was called) to know it wasn't quite my thing....
Still, I need to break out of my closed mind....

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.

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.

I thought it had an interesting mix of Gettho Tech / Tech House /
Techno / and even a bit of Motown and Funk Soul. I thought it
sounded like a good mix of Detroit and San Fran influences.
For those living in Manchester / Liverpool areas, we're doing a
film showcase in the beginning of April of "Intellect" at The
Projection Gallery as part of the Global Fusion electronic music
projects. http://FusionLiverpool.x0.com/Films.html For those who
don't know about the film, it is brilliantly inspiring, most people
I know watch it again and again. No matter if you like Claude Von
Strokes music or not, this movie was an ingenious idea on his part.

he and Dirtybird definitely have a following here in
San Francisco with the whole Kontrol scene.
in fact i got in a little discussion with some kid at
a party who was saying that he was the future of
techno, to which i responded (in typical axxhole fogey
fashion) "you mean tech house?"
but i do like his sound and "who's afraid of detroit"
is pretty a darn good club track.
dunno about best track of 2006, though.

I just wondered what the vibe is on former Detroiter
Claude VonStroke
aka Barclay Crenshaw? I know he was involved in
Intellect - that doc.
His album Beware Of The Bird has been picked up by
Ministry Of Sound
here. He's also touring.
Also some 313 types may like the Spirit Catcher
album Night Vision on
Ralph Lawson's label - it's the kind of Detroit
style tech-house Slam
used to do. I don't care at all for the vocal
tracks, a bit generic,
but tracks like Motown Spring, Roller Coaster, Space
Crash, ie the
first 3, were very worthwhile.
