Twisted Disco and Dark Deco are teaming up for an unmissable Halloween shindig at The Cross, guaranteed to blow away your incoming winter blues. This is no ordinary Friday night at The Cross though – The Wonky House Halloween Extravaganza is graced with the presence of one of the most exciting and widely-acclaimed figures in dance music in recent years. The man in question is the inimitable Claude VonStroke – a truly inspirational producer and DJ whose visits to London are few and far between.

Claude (real name Barclay Crenshaw) first came to most people’s intention with his bizarre yet strangely addictive low-slung tech house cut ‘Deep Throat’ on his Dirtybird imprint back in 2005, and has since wowed the dance music masses with a slew of quirky, innovative, and most importantly downright groovy singles such as the classic, spooky ‘Who’s Afraid Of Detroit?’, the raucous ‘Chimps’ and the dangerously catchy ‘The Whistler’ (currently heard on T-Mobile’s new adverts). His music strikes that difficult balance between being credible while retaining a humorous element, sticking one in the eye of po-faced minimalists across the world. Elements of hip-hop, electro and ghettotech are blended with that jackin’ West Coast house vibe to create a truly unique, funked-up, naughty tech-house sound that entirely his own.

He is a prolific and highly-desired remixer too – having remixed the two biggest tracks of 2006 and 2007 – Fedde Le Grand’s ‘Put Your Hands Up For Detroit’ and Samim’s ‘Heater’ respectively, as well as superb reworkings of tracks by Mighty Dub Katz (Norman Cook), Luke Solomon, DJ Blaqstarr and The Rapture to name but a few. The Guardian said of his debut longplayer ‘Beware Of The Bird’ “not since Daft Punk donned robot suits has there been such a quirky, engaging house album as this”, while Richie Hawtin touted ‘Who’s Afraid Of Detroit?’ as his favourite track of 2006. This guy is by no means short on credentials.

Joining The Birdman on the night will be a finely picked selection of London’s most talented tunesmiths. Big Daddy, the man whose record label and night, Playtime, was one of the pioneers of the wonky house sound in the UK, not to mention one of the first DJs to bring Claude VonStroke to the UK two years ago, with Graeme Lloyd, a versatile regular at The Gallery and the man behind Subbass DJ Academy providing ample support to the proceedings. The currently on-fire Jamie McHugh serves up a set of his brash electro-tech that has seen him release tracks on Brique Rogue (‘Arcadia’ which was remixed by Claude himself), Lot49, Audio Therapy and Cr2. Jonty Skrufff teams up with saucy fetish-loving DJ/singer/vocalist and Tresor regular Fidelity Kastrow for a debauched electro-fest, with plenty more housey goodness from the likes of Maximal’s Ben Gomori and plenty of Twisted Disco and Dark Deco’s partyrocking DJs. Plus resident Fabian Chui delivers some funky, deep techno – having played alongside the likes of King Roc, Mike Monday and Spektrum within his first year of DJing. Keep an eye on this one and his forthcoming Stripped Back label….
