CLAUDE VONSTROKE

this song has been stuck in my head for like 2 weeks... the little percolating thing that goes duhduhduh duh duh duh duh duh duh duhduh or when it does the groan noise before he asks what youre doing for dinner. i remember seeing this video a year ago and thinking it was the greatest thing but it never clicked til today (this songs at least 2 years old). vonstroke (myspace) has been affiliated with diplo & dj assault, but ive never taken too much notice... he runs dirtybird recs in san francisco, and i think he operates in the massive club techno realm, like some kind of half-tiesto?

claude vonstroke - deep throat (zshare)
the original mix of deep throat. i mean the songs stuck with me for a long time... in terms of half-minimal electronic stuff this is about as good as youll get

claude vonstroke - whistler (dj assault remix) (zshare)
this ones more my usual type. assault (myspace) adds some decent vocals and keeps all the necessary parts (ie whistling). theres not a ton of variation so its kind of hard to sit through the whole thing, but its a fun enough track and the intro buildup is pretty slick

the rapture - w.a.y.u.h. (claude vonstroke panty dropper vocal mix) (zshare)
it sort of bothers me when "remixes" sound nothing like the original track... this is a good example. the occasional yeahs and whats and the vocal tick thing are vaguely reminiscent of the rapture track, but other than that its just a vonstroke techno-y track. actually the way he puts the voice all helium-y is pretty cool at the halfway part (im listening now and i think i might have changed my mind in claudes favor)
