At The Controls: mixed by Claude von Stroke

quote:

Dirtybird Claude VonStroke mixes the latest volume in the 'At the Controls' series.

Previous volumes of �At the Controls� by M.A.N.D.Y. and James Holden were highly rated and so there are big shoes to fill. VonStroke�s 2CD effort includes thirty-one tracks from producers across the globe, ranging from hot Berliners (Samim, Catz & Dogz, Lee Curtiss) and U.S. veterans (Kenneth Graham, Shawn Rudiman) to British up-and-comers (Simon Baker, Gilles Smith, Dan Berkson). There are also fresh cuts from Dirtybird and Mothership signees Riva Starr and Italoboyz, as well as a new VonStroke in partnership with Christian Martin.

I had to bump the heater thread also, but that TL seems to have bi-polar.

I really don't know about this one. Heater will be interesting though, even if it seems more like a track to play live and have fun with than to put on a compilation for home/car listening.

I still like Heater, kind of. Hehoooooo

2nd disc looks OK, but in general the tracklist itself does nothing for me.

Also, I just don't know about the "At the Controls" series - it seems like it's a good idea that's been done pretty poorly so far. Admittedly, I like the first disc of Holden's a fair bit, but it lost it's luster fast - and the M.A.N.D.Y. release was wretched.

Hopefully CvS will knock one out of the park.

Pitiful. Just pitiful. Even the stuff I thought would be interesting.

I figured as much. His set last week (he replaced Alex Under who had to cancel, unfortunately) lacked any and all direction. That night was the first time in over a year that I have left a club early.

Bahaha

x 2

What the fuck is Don't Feed The Cat doing alongside that piece of shit known as Heater?

CvS wasn't great when I saw him play, though I'd see him again.

I find a lot of his production is a bit novelty with massive shelf life. I liked The Whistler for about two weeks then I was over it. Who's Afraid Of Detroit is still ok, but I'm getting sick of it fast.

All i have to say is that i expected more, much more from Claude.

But as a producer, i'll support him in the future too, all the way.

Go Dirtybird!

I don't know. Alex Under was slated to do a live set and not DJ, but he canceled his whole North American tour because of an illness. CvS replaced him that night.
