Raised in the suburbs of Detroit before relocating to San Francisco, Claude VonStroke always had a knack for music. Since his first original production "Deep Throat", his studio work has always been met with worldwide acclaim. As a DJ, Claude is known simply for having fun. He does not scowl or frown while providing worldwide audiences with his distinct interpretation of techno and house. In 2005, he formed the label dirtybird which is now celebrating its 5th anniversary with a 3CD release of the labels favorites. The acclaimed label has released some 40 EP's. Claude himself has over 25 releases, as well as two artist albums and an edition in the fabric mix series. He is also the boss of the more euro flavored techno and house imprint Mothership, which donates a large percentage of its profits to the bettering of the Detroit school system.
