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.

Eliphino – I Don’t Care
HYPE033
A. I Don’t Care
B. Understand


Having produced some stellar jams for labels like Somethink Sounds, and Giles Peterson’s Brownswood, Eliphino AKA Tom Wrankmore, debuts for Hypercolour this Autumn, opening up the label’s new term with this solid two track release.

“I Don’t Care” opens the account, all chopped up RnB vox and rolling beats, wrapped up in a super smooth melody.  Already road tested by the Hypercolour firm over the last few months, this deep garage vibe hits the sweet spot for sure

On the flip, ‘Understand’ further plunders Eliphino’s love of rugged garage beats and an ear for a catchy hook.  A feverish interplay of vocal chops, keys and organ stabs keeps up the ante, with some decidedly trancey synth parts ramping up the 90s house influences here, and once again a cut that most definitely brings the heat to the dancefloor.

‘I Don’t Care’/’Understand’ is available from 9th September 2013 on 12” vinyl and digital download

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.

<p>UK producer team Egoism and Moscow based Max Bett land on Great Stuff Recordings, with a bass heavy 2-tracker. With &#8220;Duplo&#8221; Egoism &amp; Max Bett are not trying to imitate or reanimate classic house ideas, instead they are focusing on a forward thinking and fresh approach. The title track &#8220;Duplo&#8221; is wrapped around buzzing bass sounds, cleverly programmed percussions and mind-bending layers of FX. The female vocal snippets provide the track with an extra amount of erotic energy. The slighty deeper &#8220;Give It To Me&#8221; track sucks you into a groove of hypnotizing cow bell patterns, pounding snare rolls and an interesting bassline construct. Lush synth leads punctuate at the right moments and leave just enough space for the added vocal flavor.</p>

Jaydee "Payback" Maceo Plex remix preview

We got lucky with this release. With remix contests you know you'll end up with loads of bastard lemons to wade through, there's zero guarantee that ANY of them will be even remotely listenable, and all of the non-winning entrants will hate you. Our job wasn't easy. We looked for originality, excitement, and energy. We found it. Out of the 303 remixes we received of Zombie Nation's 'Level,' we were handed some fantastic tracks that we are proud to release. 

OUR WINNING ENTRY: 

BUTTTRIXXX
This young Australian delivered a killer, distorted, swag-filled mid-tempo bomb. We loved the original vibe: pitched down vocals made into witchy pads spread over banging lo-fi beats. This got everyone at Turbo HQ's head nodding in unanimous support.


TOO GOOD TO IGNORE (in no particular order):

READYBOY
Off-the-rails chunky beats capture the MPC loving funk of Zombie Nation without resorting to any obvious tricks. We can't hear much of the original here, but what matters more is that this is dope.

DORTMUND
He may or may not be German, but you can feel a cool, precise talent at work here. He chose elements from the original wisely and complimented them with a simple, strong lead. Not a peak time performer, but a good remix.

TWOB
Stripped down and tailored for club play. Not re-inventing the party wheel but we know it would work. 

GIULIANO RASCAN
Probably our runner-up, this is a MASSIVE EDM monster. We're talking Avicii-level, Ultra-festival setlist, heart hand pumping, ecstasy inducing, hiss blasting and ITALIAN. This much positive dance-floor energy can make us a bit uncomfortable, but in the end we couldn't deny Giuliano took it to the next LEVEL. BAAAAM.
