- Channeling a love affair with classic '90s hip-hop, an affinity for otherworldly themes and an ear for raw funk, Barclay Crenshaw uses his given birth name to bare his soul and deliver a slowed-down, emotive collection of collaborations and instrumentals. His 2017 self-titled debut album was a left-field departure from his better-known alias, Claude VonStroke, but the quality is undeniably the same.
This project represents a mixture of modern bass and organic beats blended with gorgeous melodic moments and underlying grittiness to create an experience that is eclectic, expressive and expansive.
Coded art and epic visuals depicting ancient alien abductions and explorations of time and space furthers the sense of mystery and the unknown, harking back to the past while gazing into the future.
In 2022, Barclay announced his hiatus from Claude VonStroke and Dirtybird to focus full time on Barclay Crenshaw.

I love you guys glad you could get together for this. 💜
Honestly is the most underrated quality in human beings but the only way to express yourself …thanks a lot to both of you 🏴☠️
YOOOOOOOOO Dirtybiiiiiiiiird!!!! I had my honeymoon at the first Dirtybird campout, it was awesome hehehe
That playing of multiple genres far before it was popular is definitely a trip. It was far easier to achieve when we couldn’t download 1000 tracks in a day and we were forced to spend $300 on 30 to 40 records per month and have to learn those records until we had more money to go buy more. As a DJ myself I lost such a connection to music when the club setup focus switched from vinyl to CDJs in the early 2000’s. The difference of picking up one record and knowing 10 different ways It could go with multiple genre’s just by the look of it before you even put it on the platter to then having songs written on a CD that you had zero connection with unless you’d listened to it 40 times and played it as well together with other tracks.
It’s now a game of having to listen to the tracks redundantly if they’re not yours, why it’s far easier to play your own tracks. As you know every direction they can go because they’re part of your soul already.
Dude, when I lived in ATX, I went to Lanai one night and it was my first time ever going to a club that played house music, and low and behold, it was Claude! I remember him playing Dogs and Cats - Butterfly Justin Martin Remix and that shit got into my bones.
tiedye ky mention is sweet. Glad he’s also on the Seattle stop
sick podcast
true story, Barclay fell asleep on the decks at my house after his set in Canberra around 2010.. such a legend.. hope you doing well Bill (its biggie)
Don't tell Freddy Todd that there's no bass scene in Detroit
There's a lot of soulful like motown/neo soul somewhat inspired Drum and Bass being released currently, and as someone who kind of was raised on the oldies radio station in the 80's and I dont mean the classic rock station, I mean the one that played mammas and the pappas, temptations, The Monkees, early beatles, Al green, Martha and the Vandellas, Jackson 5, etc. and initially played DnB when I started DJing and then found house, and really got into soulful house which is very much influenced by motown as well. Now that DnB is having a resurgence it's pretty interesting. I still dig DnB too.
Great one Bill!
great insight
really good one
Dope
