The name Claude VonStroke actually arose from a night of rambunctious partying. They were having a betting game of who could come up with the most ridiculous or funny DJ name, and Barclay came up with Claude Von Stroke, which after the party everyone started calling him that and it ended up sticking with him.

I spent most of the night on the dancefloor. No regrets. Dirtybird 006 Claude Vonstroke - Beware of the bird is a brilliant release. But I am a sucker for that sound anyways, especially the stuff coming out on Audiomatique right now. First I thought he was German and now I find out he is from the burbs of Detroit. But I guess Barclay Crenshaw does not exactly roll off the tongue like Claude Vonstroke. cTp -----Original Message----- From: Cyclone Wehner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 10:43 PM To: Svagr, Jodie Cc: Placid; list 313 Subject: Re: (313) Claude VonStroke I looked him up on imdb - he was location manager for Batman & Robin or something! There's one song on his CD that is Bukem like drum 'n' bass that I really like. Maybe it's near the end.
