The artwork for Claude VonStroke's upcoming 3rd album, "Urban Animal" best summarizes the theme of this full length outing from the dirtybird chief. A collection of architectural photography in disrepair from Detroit and The Midwest were chopped up and reconstructed into the shapes of 3 amazing animal portraits, a lion, a lizard, and a bird.

In the same way, Claude has taken sounds and snippets of his busy and sometimes frantic life and created an album from these simple and complex elements. Beauty and intrigue created from smaller pieces of chaos and adversity.

The introductory single, "Cant Wait," is reminiscent of some of VonStroke's deeper classics while also pushing further into new territory. A sense of restraint and release play games throughout this melancholy tune with a fat bassline locking down the groove. "Can't Wait" has fleeting moments of euphoria that are both surprising and uplifting especially for a summer open air crowd.

"The Clapping Track" then shows us the fun side of VonStroke where he cuts apart 16 claps and then brings them back together - building up to a standing ovation as a resonate organ sounds. This house anthem has already been destroying the Dirtybird Ibiza residency and summer festival circuit as well.

Both tracks are great for the club and leave us wondering what other happy surprises have been constructed out of the infinite imperfect pieces inside Claude VonStroke's head.

Shogun Audio Podcast - Icicle - August 2013

Claude VonStroke - Dood

Taken from 'Urban Animal', out worldside 9/24/13

Claude VonStroke, dirtybird’s benevolent label master, presents "Dood", the second single from his upcoming album, ‘Urban Animal’, which will be released September 24.

"Dood" is inherently dirtybird and the one you've been waiting for if you were expecting something nasty from ‘Urban Animal’.  The heart-squeezing booty-bass-line smacks instantly, while the rumbling drawl of the stoned vocal perfectly encapsulates VonStroke’s witty spirit. 

"Dood" is idiosyncratic, eccentric, unpredictable and imaginative, it’s a seriously fun trip aimed squarely at the heart of the dancefloor, and this track has been a peak time hit for VonStroke and the entire dirtybird crew this summer. 

"Urban Animal’ embodies the singular sound that Claude VonStroke and his dirtybird crew have perfected over the last nine years. Touching on all spectrums of house, moving from booty bass to d’n’b, ‘Urban Animal’ is rich and diverse, stoic and playful, tough and tender. VonStroke has pieced together a rugged arrangement of the most discordant, unlikely parts, into something brimming with beauty and human appeal. Much like the single "Dood", 'Urban Animal' is a record wide in scope, yet one that could only have been birthed by VonStroke.

Total Science - Suspicious (Alix Perez Remix)

After the storming success of Fracture's outing on METHXX02 Friske quickly follows up with both tracks “Covert” & “Venture” on METHXX03 

“Covert” kicks things off with a deep excursion that cleverly steps its way through the unknown, a precise juxtaposition of effects and haunting stabs that swell in balanced unison throughout an ever-evolving arrangement. The A side is nothing short of the highest calibre of drum and bass music and the perfect addition to the METHXX catalogue.

The flipside sees Friske bring some smoother vibes to the forefront with “Venture” The B Side cleverly meanders with effortless ease through intricate melodies against a backdrop of smooth evolving pads, creating the perfect canvas for the foreground of perfectly weighted drums and exactly the right weight of B-line bounce to keep things moving.

Overall the whole 12” exemplifies Friske’s highly accomplished production prowess with a release that has the Metalheadz signature stamped all over it and once again all finished off in the hugely desirable and collectable METHXX packaging 

Another stunning Metalheadz Ltd outing for 2013 and another slice of Metalheadz Future History.

They say all good things come to those who wait, and when that thing that you are actually waiting for is music of this quality we would certainly agree! 

That waiting however is nearly over and as the ever impending Jubei  “To Have and Have Not “ Album release date grows ever nearer and in anticipation for the full L.P we   are issuing this upfront sampler of the Album to showcase two (of the many) highlights from the LP and to offer a snapshot of the forthcoming content and quality.

Jubei takes things into 140 territory with “Visions” Ft. J Kenzo.

Tracks like this really emphasize how sublime music at 140 BPM can be with a beautifully crafted excursion in deep darkness with complexity formed through simplicity.

Release Date	     	| 7/10/2013


We’re pleased to welcome back the extremely talented Need For Mirrors duo back to the Dispatch camp.  

Here they strike completely on the money with the hard hitting Funk-led “Sling Blade” and backing up the A side we have a heavy slice of Bristol themed flavour for 2013 with “Grapefruit” (plus an additional extended digital-only version).  Both tracks present a clear nod to the old school and inspirational late 90’s sounds we always loved (but never left!).

Need For Mirrors prove again with this release that they are quite simply on a roll both as individual artists that make up the NFM duo and in their own individual right, definitely ones to watch for the rest of 2013 and beyond.  

Thanks for listening.

"Deltron 3030 was essential music to me for so long that to have the groups blessing on this remix is more than a honor. Dan The Automator was more than kind enough to send me Del's studio acapella, and Del gave me the thumbs up on the mix ... In short, I am very giddy about this one!

I tried to capture the vibe of the original all while keeping my sound intact. This remix isn't made for just dj sets... it's for the people who grew up on this album like I did and still hold that era up on a pedestal." ~ FIGURE

Part two of the massive dirtybird players compilation is here. This time we feature some of the labels biggest Europe based acts Eats Everything & Catz n Dogz along with some European newcomers GoldFFInch, Friend Within & 6 Stroke.  In addition we still got that old school Cali crew repping with Leroy Peppers and Claude VonStroke as well as our newest addition Mark Starr from Florida.

This half of the comp goes all the way from booty bass to deep house to future dubstep and represents the various styles and directions of the label. Again, we like to keep the words short and sweet and let the music do the talking. 

We hope you enjoy it.

Eats Everything - The Withywood Walk [Preview]

<b>Breach - Jack</b>
Available on Beatport: 4/1/13
Available Worldwide: 4/16/13

I had dinner with Breach in London and he told me "Hey, I have a track that is really dirtybird. I would put it out but its really sounding right for you guys." I took this with a grain of salt but then I heard "Let's Get Hot" and I found out he was right. It's got the swagger and the sound. It makes girls grind their asses into boys crotches on the dancefloor. Perfect. Signed. 

So I then asked him to make something even more sexual, thinking it would be ages before I got something back. 10 days later the A-side came back to me as a 2 minute clip while i was on the train to warehouse project in Manchester. I liked it so much that i edited it on the train to stretch it out to 5 minute. As expected, it slayed the room and the final version Breach has delivered is one of the best records of the year in my opinion. With the simple title of "Jack" you can see for yourself when you play it. This is the real deal.

Love,
VonStroke

The Objection EP Pt.2 
Dabs

Its E.P time again from Dispatch, this time with the release of the huge Objection E.P featuring two solo outings from Dabs alongside some killer colabs that include the production prowess of both Safire & Cern with the added bonus of Mako, DLR and Dispatch’s own Ant TC1 on remix duties.

The E.P confidently twists through a journey of atmospheric darkness with the tracks Objection, Inner Circle and the remix of Back and Forth providing Dispatches signature rolling deepness, with the track Hell Rose providing a perfect contrast of light with a combination of smooth pads and haunting vocal. Finishing off, Crunch Bag steps up the energy rate with a slab aimed squarely at key time dance floor movement, almost certainly a guaranteed floor destroyer.

Objection has featured on Friction's BBC Radio 1 show on Ant TC1’s own guest mix whilst the DLR, Mako & Ant TC1's remix of the Dispatch classic "Back & Forth" has been championed by the likes of Break, Survival, and Xtrah - again proving the EP's worth and highlighting the tried and tested stamp of Dispatch quality.

With yet another 4 tracks and the added bonus of the digital exclusive Dispatch again issue an essential purchase release confirming once again why the are certainly strong contender for label of the year in 2013 with their no nonsense, undiluted, no compromise approach to releasing D&B music at it's finest.

Jaydan's signature take on jump up turns heads in any set, and the new Journeys EP is no exception. Heavyweight vibes lace the six track collection and will be sure to keep even the hardest DnB heads going into the early hours. 

The euphoric opening of 'Thrillseekers' sets the tone, quickly stepping into murkier territory with fat low-ends and screeching highs blended in with a stunning vocal hook. 'Late Night Drive' wades in deeper currents, an undeniable bass swell takes centre stage with the producer opting for the minimal route with maximum effect. Similarly the frantic bedlam of 'Lonely Days' seems just as effortless, a hint of the junglist bleeds through whilst still keeping the lid on a menacing bassline. 'Menace' equally smashes it and certainly one to look out for in the crates of the Playaz camp. '1952' reveals the true extent of Jaydan's production capabilities, an all together more laid back approach, jazz samples and down-tempo feel offer the perfect wind down after a heavy night. Last but definitely not least the Annix lads take the reins on 'The Driller Killer', their stamp the final touches to an affirmed stomper.

Jaydan - Journeys EP - Playaz Recordings

Bringing intelligently dark drum and bass to the masses is a difficult job, but somebody's gotta do it. This time Mortem takes Demand's hot seat to encourage two tracks with the hard-hitting firepower and sub pressure of a depth charge.
Utilising old school flavours for “Malfunction” while maintaining that technical bite, writhing rhythms are sucked in through his unique sampling vortex to create a track that's all about movement. Multi-layered and thick with attitude, its behemoth of a bassline is barely contained by intricately woven techy percussion.
As one of drum & bass' most reliable sources of prolific high quality, Mortem rises above the rest time and again with his unique take on deep, intelligent beats. This release showcases his love for depth, texture and movement but also his capacity for creativity, which comes in droves.
Both tracks available on Demand Records 12” and Digital Download.

Mortem - Malfunction

I love all kinds of music I do mean all kinds my hart lies with drum@bass but i love house  ...I never judge.... everything deserves a second chance in life
