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.

Claude VonStroke - Can't Wait [Preview]

All I See (Radio Edit)

1. Treat You Right
2. Do The Do
3. My Sister
4. Silk Slut

'Weiss City Vol 1' showcases this producers vast talent by embracing house music's rich heritage with deep jacking grooves, warm rumbling subs, sweet sharp percussion and delicate vocal treatment. Leading the EP. 'You Treat Me Right' sets the tone with an infectious guitar lick and impassioned vocals on top of a driving but deep bass line. 'Do The Do' is straight up organ house, with an unforgettable melody, vocal cut and sharp percussion. Next up, Weiss delivers the funk with 'My Sister'; one of those tracks you'll have on repeat for weeks on end, the groove is unrivalled on this one! Finally, 'Silk Slut' concludes the EP on a slightly darker note with heavy drums, pitched down vocals and a rumbling bass; perfect for after parties.

"Claptone is a man of mystery. Of course there are countless anonymous DJs hiding behind everything from angry-face cardboard boxes to giant cassette tapes. But Claptone takes the enigma game to the next level—not only does he flit around in a gold, pointy bird mask straight out of G-Force: Guardians of Space, he also claims to embed an entire "universe of secrets" into his sounds. Not sure what that means... maybe spectogram images a la Aphex Twin? Also, in an interview from earlier last year, he said certifiably batshit stuff like, “Over the years I’ve learned to affect every being on earth and to synchronize the noises and sounds (they produce). With my magic wand I now bring to life a universal orchestra and direct the world’s unique soundtrack.” Which is… awesome?" (Vice Thump)

Actually, we think it’d be pretty chill if he took the reigns on the “the world’s unique soundtrack” and made it sound a little more like this velvety, floor-shaking, party-starting, spooky, hypnotic house track GHOST he delivered us on the back of a singing Alec Ounsworth from Indie Rock Band CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY YEAH.
More house magic included on track 2 UNITED. Feed the bird.

Happy New Year!

Mystery surrounds the identity of production combo Claptone. Perhaps it doesn't matter...
Their first EP "She Loves You" was a mix of sharply floor focused tech-house, deep house and disco blends. Here is the follow-up: CREAM...not only for lovers of 90ies Rapmusic.
Please leave some nice comments. We got plenty of dope releases coming on Exploited this year.

CLAPTONE - CREAM / GOOD TO YOU I Exploited Records

Vocals written and produced by Claire Spooner
Vocals performed by Kieran Fowkes

LYRICS:
Life don't always turn out like you planned
But these changes make me who I am
And why is it so hard to understand
That since you've been away I turned into a better man
Cos baby you've been gone too long, gone too long
You had me, you played me, I'm moving on
Gone too long, gone too long
Did you really think I'd keep hanging on
You had me, you played me, I'm moving on

Lying in the dark I thought I heard you speak
Tried to listen but your voice became too weak
Then I knew I had to get back on my feet, on my feet
Won't take this no longer, you're weak but I'm stronger
Got lost in the distance and we're gone from existence
And no sweet talk will fix this, cos you burned all your bridges
I cant see you, I can't hear you now.
