“This entire launch is a throwback and a brand new starting on the identical time,” VonStroke stated of the brand new EP.
A decade-old promise has lastly come full circle for Claude VonStroke, who has dropped his Noche Clara EP on Damian Lazarus‘ Crosstown Rebels.
The discharge arrives twenty years after Lazarus first booked the now-influential home music producer to DJ within the UK.
“I promised Damian I might make a Crosstown Rebels launch over 10 years in the past, and it’s lastly occurred,” VonStroke stated in a press launch. “He was one of many first folks to ever e book me within the UK twenty years in the past. He’s come to play my pageant, remixed one in all my greatest tracks, and I’m considerably obsessive about Lazpod. This launch is a throwback and a brand new starting on the identical time.”
VonStroke went on to clarify the affect of minimal, early-2000s home music on Noche Clara and shared plans to steer in the direction of the stripped-back stylings of his seminal first file, “Deep Throat” sooner or later. Whereas the brand new challenge clearly nods to his previous, he stated the EP has “possibly a bit bit extra trendy manufacturing than these days.”
The EP’s titular opener seems like an ode to inventive independence and unapologetic self-expression, two values that VonStroke is embracing now greater than ever since his departure from Dirtybird, the beloved label he based. “Bam Bam” (with Honeycomb) pairs psychedelic vocals with late-night, minimal grooves that simmer with moody pressure.
“The B-side is sort of a wacky A&R story the place Honeycomb and I performed the identical non-public occasion within the desert and I heard a selected loop throughout his set. His units are created from scratch stay,” he defined. “I requested him afterwards if he recorded the set and will ship me the components to that one particular loop at a selected timestamp. He discovered it and we made your complete Bam Bam monitor from that tiny little part that simply grooved precisely proper.”
