HOTTEST NAMES- THE MAN BEHIND ‘THE WHISTLER’
Not only is it difficult to come up with an original and worthy concept in this day and age of copycat compilations, but the hard task is also choosing an artist to front your compilation, an artist who has been hyped or is about to be the next big thing, all whilst retaining underground cool and mainstream capabilities. RESIST pull this off every time with their ‘At The Controls’ series.
It was a pretty hard act to follow after the critically acclaimed ‘At The Controls’ releases last year by GET PHYSICAL daddies M.A.N.D.Y and BORDER COMMUNITIES’ JAMES HOLDEN, but Resist have twisted a few buttons and come up with a corker – le deejay du decade and one of electronic music’s hottest producers of the chemical generation - CLAUDE VON STROKE steps up to host the third in a series that aims to delve deep into the musical psyches of the worlds greatest contemporary DJs.
Claude VonStroke is one artist everyone wants a piece of. The Detroit by way of San Francisco native has had two of club land’s biggest hits of the last 18 months – “The Whistler” (that Triple J have been flogging) and “Who’s Afraid Of Detroit?”. Now with his offering, a ‘melt-the-ears’ mix, consisting of 30 tracks over 2-discs comprising of some of the best in deep techno and solid electro house from his very own quirky DIRTY BIRD label and his soon to be launched sub-label MOTHERSHIP, as well as tracks from GET PHYSICAL to KOMPAKT, CROSSTOWN REBELS, as well as the biggest tune from Ibiza 2007 SAMIM, “Heater” (that “accordion track”)
Claude commented, “I really had fun with the 2 disc format. On Disc 1 I was able to put together the type of Dirtybird style mix people know me for already. On Disc 2 I was able to get a little deeper and experimental, more along the lines of my new label, Mothership. The discs represent two different sounds but I think you can hear my sleazy weirdo personality throughout the entire project”.
