Fact Magazine Podcast: Claude VonStroke

VonStroke is the head of San Francisco’s foremost tech-funk label, Dirtybird, and the man behind some of house and techno’s biggest tunes of the past decade: ‘The Whistler’, ‘Deep Throat’ and ‘Who’s Afraid of Detroit?’. His Dirtybird parties have built up a reputation as some of the West Coast’s wildest, and VonStroke also recently released his second album, Bird Brain.

Couple that with legions of fans and imitators in America and abroad, a Fabric CD, another successful label in Mothership and a serious eye for talent (VonStroke recently snapped up Bristol upstart Julio Bashmore for a Dirtybird EP), and you’re dealing with one of the best.

VonStroke’s FACT mix features Julio Bashmore, Mike Monday, Justin Martin and plenty of new Dirtybird material from the label’s new signings and the big man himself .

Julio Bashmore - World Peace Claude VonStroke - Big ‘n’ Round Kentin Slash Demon - Singla Hiccup - Hiccup Theme Sascha Braemer - Go Loco David Keno - Bonito Mike Monday - Grace (Justin Martin remix) Heinrichs and Hirtenfeller - Hubble Kollectiv Turmstrasse - Grillen Im Park

  1. The Mysterious Production

    In 2005 songwriter/performer Andrew Bird and print artist Jay Ryan collaborated on the artwork for Bird’s highly acclaimed record, "The Mysterious Production of Eggs." Here Bird and Ryan take the stage to describe - through conversation and performance - the creative efforts that infused the project. They explore the narrative depth of Ryan’s illustrations in relation to Bird’s songs, and talk about why, despite working in distinct mediums, they’re drawn to collaborate with each other. And they do this all while employing the tools of their trades - microphone, paper, guitar, and pencil.

  2. Louche Podcast 029 - Ryan Crosson

    Another third birthday present in the build up to the big one this Saturday; an exclusive Visionquest podcast mixed by Ryan Crosson. The mix is a perfect taste of what’s to come this Saturday night, when we host the hotly anticipated UK debut of Visionquest. A beautifully constructed mix, organically flowing though ambient electronica to groovy minimal house, washed with eerie vocals and soundscapes. It epitomizes Visionquest’s sound, and its a real pleasure to put this one out.
