SXBX001 // EPROM & Barclay Crenshaw - “Crawled Eagle"
BUY: smarturl.it/CrawledEagle

When i first heard about Eprom from Gaslamp Killer I totally freaked out, but when I heard his album Halflife I knew I had to work with him somehow.  So I called him up and invited him down to LA.  This was a really natural collaboration. He came down to Venice and we sat in the studio for 3 days working on these tunes.  I don’t fan boy about very many producers but Eprom is one of the greatest in my humble opinion and he didn’t disappoint. We had all the analog stuff routing back and forth, then sampling it, resampling it, reworking it — the super cool mind of a maniac up in here.

Moon Juice was made strictly with 808 sounds, even the angelic arp style pads are made from modified 808 kick drums. Crawled Eagle is that more nasty Eprom vibe reminiscent of Center of the Sun from Halflife.  I added all my bits throughout as well.  Listeners beware this ain’t house music if that’s what you are expecting!

EPROM & Barclay Crenshaw "Crawled Eagle"

The second single from Barclay Crenshaw's self titled album is violently haunting and beautiful - inspired by another unexplained diagram from the past. It's hard to decipher the image exactly but blood vessel maps of the human form are drawn with symbols and strands resembling genetic code, like an ancient guide studying our species. Additional imagery suggests an extraterrestrial influence and leaves us with more unanswered questions about the project.

The Gene Sequence

In the wee hours of an October morning deep in a Southern California mountain valley, a bespectacled sonic explorer took to the stage in front of several thousand people. Flitting among hip-hop, broken beats, acid-trip bass and jungle influences, Barclay Crenshaw introduced fans to the musical palette that has come to inspire his forthcoming self-titled album. 

Today Crenshaw shares his debut mixtape, inspired by themes of otherworldly exploration and retro-futurism. It includes previews of forthcoming album cuts , special VIP versions, world premieres and unreleased remixes – including a feature with the recently-reunited Cool Kids, a debut VIP remix of What So Not and more. 

Debut album tour tickets on sale at stxbrx.co/Tour001.

Transmission 001 Mixtape

Channeling a love affair with classic '90s hip-hop, an affinity for otherworldly themes and an ear for raw funk, Barclay Crenshaw uses his given birth name to bare his soul and deliver a slowed-down, emotive collection of collaborations and instrumentals. This self-titled debut album is a left-field departure from his better-known alias, Claude VonStroke, but the quality is undeniably the same. The themes of ancient alien abductions and exploration of time and space are discovered and brought to life over ten tracks that sound like a mixture of gold rope chains and new age enlightenment. Modern organic beats mixed with gorgeous melodic moments and underlying grittiness create an experience that is eclectic, expressive and expansive. Coded art furthers the sense of mystery and the unknown, harking back to the past while gazing into the future. 

Guests include a wide array of artists, from bass maestro Mr. Carmack to the U.K.’s inspired Lady Chann, Flatbush emcees The Underachievers, and even a Cool Kids reunion from Chuck Inglish & Sir Michael Rocks.

Gotta Push On (Barclay Crenshaw Remix)– GRiZ feat. Brasstracks & Eric Krasno

Alien visitors have chosen to send messages across our channels of abandoned technology. Our old phone lines are currently running complex data formulas that have allowed enemy visitors to take control of all “A.I.” devices such as Alexa and Siri. This “A.I.” is now fully controlled and the brainwashing of the human population has commenced. 

Barclay Crenshaw took a stand last October somewhere off the grid in Bradley, California - shielding 4,000 listeners from the imminent takeover. The DJ set was actually a series of bass waves deconstructing the brainwashing process. Please listen now to this recording especially if you feel like you are no longer in control of your life. Save yourselves.

Barclay Crenshaw - Live @Dirtybird Campout West 2017

Barclay Crenshaw has stolen alien science data from the last ship to crash in North America and used the technology to produce a track with twin female rappers from Inglewood, California. This may seem like an odd use of technology, but at this point the mission has changed and music is the only thing left that can save the planet. The amazing 23 year old twin sister duo, Cam & China, have already earned their title of “The Baddest” in the booming West Coast rap scene. Originally part of Pink Dollaz—the Queens of the peak jerkin’ era—the siblings have shaped their raw, fierce sound with collaborators including MIA, DJ Mustard, Battlecat and D.R.U.G.S and recognized from LA Weekly as “The Best Hip Hop Duo in LA”.

Check out Barclay Crenshaw perform at Coachella. Cam and China can be seen on their new album coming later in 2018.

Barclay Crenshaw feat. Cam  & China - The Baddest [STX&BRX]

We are giving it away for free on this  Coachella weekend one. Be sure to see Barclay close the Gobi tent at 10:30 on Sunday.

Humans slowly wake from a comatose holiday state as the twilight of the calendar year still reverberates across the globe. Now, more than ever we are susceptible to dark influences from other dimensions.  Do not leave your guard down. Do not accept the company line that is being fed to you by the reptilian government.  Shield yourself with the protective bass waves of Transmission 004. There is still hope.

Transmission 004 (Live from Dirtybird Campout West '18)

2020 the year of desperation and solitude. Bass waves are the only cure. Barclay Crenshaw delivers another eclectic mixtape for the headz.

Transmission 005

Renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to the electronic music landscape, Barclay Crenshaw originally captivated audiences under the alias Claude VonStroke. With a career that spanned over two decades and 5 albums as the original creator of Dirtybird Records, Crenshaw solidified his place as a visionary in the global dance music scene.

Barclay Crenshaw has evolved artistically, recently moving past his older sound and exploring bass, dub, jungle, funk and hip-hop. His performances under his real name seamlessly blend genres, creating an immersive experience that transcends traditional electronic music boundaries. Barclay’s ability to connect with diverse audiences and create an unforgettable atmosphere has earned him a following of like-minded oddballs and thrill-seekers. His shift in sound and unwillingness to take the easy road further cement his long-standing reputation for innovation and authenticity.

2024 brings a new album a new tour and a whole new outlook on life. Whether he is curating events or producing innovative tracks in the studio, Barclay continues to push creative boundaries and foster a community of friends, collaborators and followers.
