Claude VonStroke's Essential Mix for Pete Tong on Radio 1. Aired on November 10, 2007. This was my first big time DJ mix about two years after I debuted my artist name with the track Deep Throat.

Essential Mix - 11/10/2007

Free spirit. Fire artist. Photographer & Creative Media

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.
