🐣 CLAUDE VONSTROKE RESIDENCY (Open-Close) SAT | 8.13.22 | 10PM Minimal In Everything But Sound, And Pussy - Discopussy. Come Sip The Funk. Claude VonStroke created a small underground record label called Dirtybird in 2005 and grew it into a full-fledged events, clothing and music brand over the last 17 years. During this time, he has also managed to release 6 albums and some of the most iconic house music tracks of the last two decades. Most people know Claude VonStroke for his smiling DJ persona touring every major city, festival, and basement after-party around the world. Claude has also influenced the very fabric of the dance community, A&Ring an impeccable roster of acts like Walker & Royce, Justin Martin, Fisher, Catz n Dogz, Steve Darko, Riva Starr, Cour T, Eats Everything, Nala, Nikki Nair, Justin Jay and countless others. Today, his Dirtybird label continues to surprise and innovate in the underground dance scene, releasing an enigmatic combination of house, funk, dirty-bass, and electronica. VonStroke has released four original artist albums, a remix album, and a live album recorded when he closed the famed Movement Festival in his original hometown of Detroit, Michigan. Some other music highlights include working on records with Bootsy Collins, Rihanna, Disclosure and Kevin Saunderson as well as a few #1 & #2 hits on Beatport. His partnership with Green Velvet as “GET REAL” has been one of the most rewarding friendships as Claude originally modeled his career after the quirky enigmatic style of his mentor from Chicago. In 2015 VonStroke brought his first festival to light called Dirtybird Campout, a unique camping experience based on the games and activities associated with American Summer camp mixed with the best underground house and bass music in the world. He continues to innovate and curate new events such as Dirtybird CampINN in Orlando and the legendary Dirtybird BBQ day parties all across North America. VonStroke loves a certain style of surreal artwork that he has commissioned for the last 10 years on Dirtybird for all of the releases. He has had the pleasure of working with renowned artists such as Jeremy Fish, Dulk, Stom500, Birdcap, Charlie Immer, Graham Carter, Dan May, Raoul Deleo and Felicia Chau. Walking through the Dirtybird HQ in Los Angeles is like walking through an art gallery in the Wynwood district of Miami. Keeping on the cutting edge of art and technology, Claude was also responsible for the very first record label based generative NFT project called “Dirtybird Flight Club” in 2021. A lot of his success can be attributed to a good attitude. Claude does not scowl and look mean while he DJs. He does not pretend to know everything and he truly loves his fans. He is grateful to be curating, creating and performing music for a living and he knows that the reason people go to parties is to shake their booty and have fun.
