Dj, Producer, Label owner. Andy Riley has been busy over the last 30 odd years. His productions as one half of Inland Knights, as well as various solo outings under his Toka Project guise, have ensured that he has remained a prominent fixture both from behind the decks and on wax.
After a few years serving his apprenticeship as an in-demand local Dj in and around Nottinghamshire UK, Andy’s inevitable step into production started in earnest with fellow Dj Steve Walker. 
Toka Project was born with the release of Swungbeats ‘King Sized Blue’Ep in early 1995. Originally a collaboration with Walker, all early output was released on Nottingham’s ‘Strictly 4 Groovers’ label, now better known as DiY Discs. Andy and Steve went on to remix a number of artists on the labels roster at the time, notably Gibby Music of Crash Records fame and Fred Everything amongst others. By 1998 Toka Project productions were in full flow and in the same year they released the much acclaimed ‘Be Free’ Ep for Chicago’s legendary Guidance Records, the title track also appeared on Guidance’s’ High Fidelity House Imprint Vol 2’. These two releases helped to push the Toka Project brand abroad and in 1999 Andy embarked on a three-month tour of the U.S and Canada with Andy Macari and Jay Cowley, stopping off in New York, LA, San Francisco, Phoenix, Philly, Tampa, Seattle, and Washington D.C amongst other places, and Montreal, Vancouver ,Whistler and Victoria in Canada. Ep’s and remixes on top labels such as Transport, Silver Network, So Sound, Amenti, Robsoul and Tango were to follow, all released to critical acclaim globally.
Over the course of the 90’s, Riley had been DJ’ing with Smokescreen,the legendary UK Sound System reponsible for throwing notorious free parties acroos the UK counties and beyond,by 1998 he had started writing tracks with fellow Smokescreen DJ Laurence Ritchie. As Inland Knights Laurence and Andy undertook a hectic production schedule to write tracks for Drop Music, Laurence’s fledgling House label. Drop Music has gone on to become one of the most highly regarded House labels in recent times. Inland Knights have become one of the most prolific and respected production outfits in the House community, carving a distinctive and unique House sound, and regularly taking on remix and Ep duties for fellow labels and producers, not to mention a Dj schedule which takes them further and further afield as their reputation grows. Bookings have included slots at UK clubbing institutions such as Fabric, The End, The Egg, Turnmills, Shindig, Back 2 Basics,Chibuku Shake Shake, Ministry Of Sound, Cargo, déjà vu,The Arches and The Sub Club in Scotland, as well as smaller more intimate venues nationwide. Countless international trips have seen them tour the Globe. Release highlights include the ‘Mohammed Ali’ remix for Faithless on Cheeky Records, CD compilations, Ep's and remixes for NRK, Om Records, 2020 Vision, Amenti Etc and Inland Knights first full length album entitled ‘Creative Spaces’.  More recently Inland Knights have released an album celebrating 10 years of Drop Music entitled ‘Dust till Dawn’ as well as the Retrospective ‘Inland Bytes’, a look back at Inland Knights career so far.
Currently, as well as remix and production commitments, Riley maintains a busy international Dj ‘ing schedule, and can be found most weekends playing up and down the UK and Europe, as well as regular visits to the U.S, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa playing both as one half of Inland Knights, and solo under his own name.
Andy has recently released several solo Ep’s for the first time under his own name: ‘Cant Contain This Ep’ on Frosted Recordings, ‘Slipmode Ep’ on Soul Fuel, ‘Somthin4theweekend Ep’ on Odour Recordings and two Ep’s on his own imprint, Borrowed. As of 2019 Riley is poised to release under the alias ‘7000 Possibilities Of Existence’ with DiY’s Peaceful Ones(DJ Pete Woosh) as part of the ’52 Card Trick Project’ on Pete’s Spirit Wrestlers Label.

Claude VonStroke spent over 20 years shaping underground dance music and building a community. After selling the Dirtybird brand and taking a 2 year hiatus, he’s back with a new mindset - playing only where he wants, for those who love the originality of his unique style.

His new "Life of Leisure" rebrand is not a status flex; it’s a vacation on the dance-floor.The ravers are the heroes; Claude is just the guide. Leave your villains at the door—fear, anxiety, and stress have no place in
VonStroke’s vibe. Only music, movement, and energy matter. Every show is intentional, every moment sacred.

Claude VonStroke is finally doing more of what he loves and dumping all that stuff that sucks. Shedding his stressed-out, overachiever role for a more reflective and grateful approach. "Life of Leisure" is a victory lap, but we all know it’s not so easy to forget reality. Join him, even if it’s just for a few hours in the club on a Saturday night.

Melbourne based DJ and producer
Having been a part of other act's, Dj'ing in many Melbourne Venues and festivals up the east coast of Australia and having fell and landed on the decks in many parts of Asia this is the latest embodiment of a DJ/Producer and musician 

What's in the name??
 Disrespectful form of quick politeness and salutation after one has served a purpose to another.
"kthxbye"  O.K_thank you_ goodbye(but all one word)

Attributed to Asociality it is quite often agreed that Kthxbye is better suited to and much more likable when a physical barrier of 2 feet of decks and a mixer is placed between him and the dancing masses as Kthxbye continues with his life's mission from the techno gods to bring the Yang/balance back to the dance floor by providing a little bit of color, lyrics and melody but tuff AF music to dance to.

Kthxbye's life mission is to find, play, perpetuate or compose the most hauntingly beautiful tracks for a more discerning lover of electronic music 

KTHXBYE! XOXO
