2009.12.18 Arcade Fridays present Claude Von Stroke
CLAUDE VONSTROKE (http://www.myspace.com/claudevonstroke)
Claude VonStroke is an American house and techno producer based in San Francisco. He owns the Dirtybird and Mothership labels. In July 2006 he released his debut album, Beware of the Bird, which received excellent reviews. He mixed Fabric 46 in May and released his 2nd album 'Bird Brain' in October.
Pitchfork 'Bird Brain' Review:
"The San Francisco-based producer’s second album is a model of taut, tasteful house music that ably spans the tech-to-progressive spectrum. On lead track “Monster Island”, VonStroke demonstrates a minimalist approach based on efficiency, not omission. He makes the merest elements wriggle and snap, with laconically fierce results– a shadowy atmosphere, where things jump out at you. The contrasts– restrained quiet vs. cathartic volume, sharp sonic flecks vs. billowing sheens of sound– are thrilling. Ticking hi-hats, flared synth tones, and vocal snippets inflect at slant angles, until foghorns gather them up into an obliterative sweep. Then VonStroke pares everything back down to fire-dancing drums and starts the wild ride again. Not only is it elegantly mixed and arranged, it’s full of personality. Don’t let the bird fool you; this guy is a monster."
