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.

Just a girl screwing around with different mediums while playing internet spaceships.  Nothing to see here.  Move along. ♥

Benji’s musical roots, and first real obsession with music and collecting vinyl, started with (Detroit) techno & acid (house) and progressed through to the early sounds of house. The love of house music has no boundaries for him: if it’s good music he’ll play it!

It all started in the summer of ’96.. When he bought his first vinyl album: Josh Wink – “A Higher State Of Wink's Works”. After a lot of experimenting as a bedroom-dj, Benji was asked to play at various events & party venues such as: 't Bosjoenk, Twins Club, Red Bull Defender, Decadance and many parties at Ostend's legendary Hangaar 1.

Later on, he became the main resident at Ostend’s finest underground house bar: the infamous “Bazz Lounge” This is where he met fellow housefreak Beve. Together, Beve & Benji rocked several great parties like La Nuit, Plastic, caDenza,.. 

After 3 great years @ BazzLounge, he joined the “La Nuit Events” crew, known for the superb party concepts at unique locations.

Nowadays, you can find Benji behind the decks @ the mighty “Krush Club” (the brainchild of Ostend’s dynamic duo Yamo & Kevin)
As a member of the “Maison Krush” dj’s he had the honour of playing alongside all famous Belgian and International dj's such as Felix The Housecat, Green Velvet, Copyright, DJ Gregory, DJ Spen, Michel Cleis, Daniel Bovie & Roy Rox, Massimo Dacosta, Maxim Lany, Beverly John, Red D, Yamo, Jensen, DJ Prinz, Key, Smith Davis, Yan, Soulspinnas... and many, many more.

"A car crash is always different, in the same circumstances, on the contrary, a computer simulated car crash is always the same. Thats why real analog sounds more "live" than a bunch of routines trying to simulate analog circuits."  - Herman Gillis, Designer
