Claude VonStroke, Lumia, Jasper Crenshaw

Claude VonStroke in The Ruins alongside Lumia and Jasper Crenshaw on Aug 7. Last year, Claude VonStroke reactivated the alias that made him a household name and kicked off a world tour. First stop: The Ruins at Knockdown Center. This August, he's back to celebrate his new LP "Wrong Number." The Dirtybird founder is foundational to US house music in the new millennium, creating a cultural juggernaut that would inspire countless DJs to follow in his wake. Tracks like "Who's Afraid of Detroit" and "Make a Cake" are certified tech house classics. But even as he's ascended to the position of global powerhouse, VonStroke always keeps it real. Speaking of his new album, he says "the big room house machine is out of control and Claude has stopped answering the phone. 'I’m sorry you have reached the wrong number. Claude is no longer available…'" Lumia arrives on the back of a standout set at Coachella and an increasingly busy international touring schedule. Jasper Crenshaw keeps it all in the family. The son of Claude VonStroke, Crenshaw has grabbed the baton and running with it in his own direction, mixing house, pop and modern downtempo hip hop.
