Review: "I decided to go for it and make a track just for Halloween based on the concept that a guy takes drugs and cannot figure out if he is in reality or a horror film," writes Claude VonStroke. He talking about this latest three track for October 31st - one original and two remixes. It's Halloween! A minimal tech house banger do doubt with a pitched vocal that's either addicted to crack or blood - we don't know - Steve Darko adds a layer of percussive groove and acid to his remix. For that extra dose, Mike Kerrigan turns up the synths in his remake that teeters on becoming electro while maintaining the stripped back groove of the original. Who got da creeps.
Review: West coast bass house institution Dirtybird are back with label head honcho Claude VonStroke, who again 'teams up' with vocalist Bary Drift (many suspect it's another one of Barclay Crenshaw alias) for the first time since 2014's "Califuture". What started out as a demo made for his private fan club a few months ago, has taken on a whole new meaning in recent weeks on "I'm Solo". Here the Los Angeles based producer delivers what has been succinctly described as 'a timely in-house groover with a signature vocal for pandemic living'. This evocative and woozy yet solemn groove will be perfect for the post quarantine warm-up or afterhours alike.
