Prog-House producer Mad House Creations releases his infectious new anthem ‘The Zing’

The Zing Out now! Listen Here
Mad House Creations’ new single, The Zing, recently signed by LVLD Music, captures an electrifying, spontaneous energy that would fill any club dancefloor, crafted entirely in the artist’s home studio on Logic Pro X. With no templates in sight, each element was built from scratch, giving the track an organic, mood-driven quality. Reflecting MHC’s knack for producing uplifting, energetic beats, The Zing takes listeners on an imaginative journey aboard a ‘futuristic spacecraft propelled by mysterious forces.’ Its zingy plucks, cinematic “Hans Zimmer on acid” style leads, and rich layers create an immersive soundscape, blending intensity with an intriguing hint of emotion. As a solo project, The Zing, made possible by LFTD Global, shows MHC’s versatile and immense skill set, perfectly setting the stage for future collaborations to bring even more dimensions to his music.
Mad House Creations, also known as MHC, was founded in 2014 when a lifelong love for trance and house music sparked the desire to dive into music production. Inspired by the legendary BBC Radio 1 Trance shows of the 2000s with Judge Jules, MHC’s journey began in the modest setting of a bedroom studio in “The Mad House” – a lively, family home that became the namesake for this creative project. Starting from scratch, MHC self-taught himself, quickly building momentum with a first release on a small Swiss label in 2015. By 2017, MHC had produced a steady stream of 16 releases, gaining traction across digital platforms and developing a diverse discography. The breakthrough year was 2020, when Dynamo dropped on MHC’s birthday, racking up over 34,000 plays on Spotify and an impressive 380,000 streams on other platforms. The most recent release, Trancendence, launched in 2022 with Mojoheadz Records, showcasing MHC’s evolving style across trance, progressive house, and techno – certainly not an artist to miss out on for any house fan.
Getting to know Mad House Creations

Introduce yourself and your project
Hey all, I’m Mad House Creations, I started creating music about 10 years ago which eventually turned into a hobby. The Mad House Creations Project was started in a family home back in early 2014, which
gave the brand its name. I now operate a bedroom studio on the Isle of Wight, UK. I released my first
track a year later on a small record label known as 5howtime Music in Switzerland along with 10 further
releases on their sub label Matrix Music Records for 3 consecutive years. I then hit the road as an
independent artist from that point, and started releasing music myself. Dynamo, my most recent success,
had stacked up the most plays in our history. Our earlier release Trancendence was released on
Mojoheadz Records in 2022.
The Zing released on LVLD Music on behalf of LFTD Global is a different composition to what we have
transformed into over the years, as have been writing a lot of trance music recently. This was the end goal
for Mad House Creations overall. I feel the release follows suit of my older compositions which were very
pluck intensive, the difference is the quality and clarity of the track itself, which shows how far we have
progressed.
Explain what musical genre fits you best?
As an artist, I tend to aim for trance as my main genre, however there are times when I compose on an
out of the box experimental basis. Some of these genres can be a mixture or as a single genre of any of
the following: Trance, House, Progressive House and/or Techno. This shows out diversity in sound and
genre.
Were you connected with music from a young age and did anyone inspire you?
From a young age, I was into rock music, although have always liked a huge diverse range of music,
including classical. I took keyboard lessons at school and turned into quite the pianist. Later on my focus
on music transformed, and started to listen to the Legendary BBC1 show where Judge Jules would play
the best in Trance and Techno every Friday Night. This was a turning point and is probably why I love
some EDM genres today.

What kickstarted your music career?
I will be honest here, It was just a random idea which I didn’t think would take off. In 2014, I was listening
to some trance one day, and the idea just popped into my head. So I got a DAW, and started learning
from scratch, watched tutorials on You Tube and started to create some music. Sometimes these random
ideas, can be a godsend. Well, this one was as I am still making music 10 years later.
Tell us more about your sound and how it’s evolved over time.
I would say I tend to try and keep my compositions as energetic and uplifting as possible with a hint of
emotion. But overall I’ve tried to concentrate on the quality and clarity of my sound, which has gotten
much better over the years.
Any words you want to share to encourage other artists or producers?
My advice would be, don’t give up after the first sign of rejection, keep creating music, keep sending
demo’s, get your music heard. The more you push your music to labels, blogs, playlisters, etc., the more
likely you will get these contacts to accept your submissions. But most importantly, create good music.
How do you nurture your industry relationships?
I try to engage with fans, most of my contact with fans is through Sound Cloud, although I do have a
small social media following, The trouble I find, is when releases go live is getting ideas for content. I
do however have contacts I’m in constant contact with on a music perspective.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank that’s been crucial to your journey?
I would like to thank a friend of mine that has been advising me on how to improve my productions
further, he has been a great help and as a result, the sound today is improving astronomically.
Name 3 songs you love and what they mean to you.
Sean Tyas & Darren Porter – The Potion (Extended Mix) FSOE

The reason I love this track is that it is very powerful. It has a diverse sound range and portrays a huge array of emotions. I find this to be a very motivational track.
Driftmoon – Waves (Extended Mix) Black Hole Rec

This track was one of the best tracks of 2016, it showed a vast improvement in trance as a whole. Its peak-time rifts were captivating to say the least.
Martin Garix & MOTi – Virus (How About Now)

 Now one track I love in the Progressive House Scene from back in the day is: Martin Garirix & MOTi – Virus (How About Now) Spinnin’ Records – I found this track rather catchy back in the day, is more of one of them “make you feel better tracks” as things are not as bad as they seem sometimes.
What’s your favourite piece of studio equipment or software?
I tend to use Logic Pro X as my base DAW however I do have a few VST synths and plugins. I think my
favourite plugins are from the Native Instruments Komplete Ultimate Collectors Edition. Ive been
using NI Massive and NI Kontakt more these days, as found the diversity in sound is much more than
what I had with Sylenth1.
Name your favourite club or festival and how it makes you feel.
Ive only really been to one real club, and thats the Iconic Minerstry of Sound: Gallery Club in London.
Although I used to work for a small Nightclub on the Isle of Wight called The Balcony. I love the Gallery
club, its atmosphere is warm and its well presented.
Name an outlandish rider request?
My outlandish rider request would be directions to the nearest AA Meeting (so I can get a dose of
recovery before a show), no caffeine to be available back stage or in sight, and a steak dinner ready for
me on arrival served blue with mustard and spicy peppercorn sauce and a dollop of BBQ Sauce served in
a large ornate bowl.
Favourite clubbing memory and who or what did it involve?
I think my favourite memory was when I went up to London to support a former friend doing a set at the
Gallery Club. His DJ name was Trancelucid.
What famous quote represents you best?
As Winston Churchill once said “Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that
counts”
If you could play at any venue, where would it be and why?
I would have to still stick with The Gallery on this one, as haven’t really ventured out to other venues yet.
Although would settle for a smaller venue.
Music is….. (explain more)
Music is a journey of emotion. It can portray many emotions and make you feel sad, happy or fit a certain
mood you’re looking for. For me music is my life, I have no commitments at the moment, so is a better
way to be spending my time putting creativity to use.
One song you really couldn’t live without and why?
To be honest I’m not sure I have a track that I cannot live without as tend to like most music in a genre
context. However I would probably say Everlight – Renegade Bass or Dominant Space – XTC are
tracks close to this classification.
Namedrop your favourite 5 artists or DJs (past or present)
Sean Tyas
Greg Downey
John Askew
Armin Van Buuren
Cosmic Gate

What was your first music memory and how did it fuel your fire?
My first memory of music which I can remember was System F – Out of The Blue. I found that this track
was the starting point to my EDM journey, and allowed me to explore further within the genre. I was quite
a latecomer when it came to exploring music, however I adapted fast to the changing trends quickly.
Tell us more about your plans for the future.
I am Currently working with another Label to get my next release down for pre-release. This will hopefully
mean a 2 track EP will be on its way out soonish. Trance Project 61 is practically finished and will be forwarding this for demo soon. And many more unreleased tracks are nearing completion. Not sure I’m
ready for touring yet, but will continue to put mixes up on Mixcloud as much as I can.
Any worldly advice you’d like to share?
Don’t let yourself get consumed by the party. Being in recovery, I have learned that the hard way. Drugs
and Alcohol eventually leads to addiction, addiction destroys careers and interpersonal relationships.

Poni Reimagines Despair In Her Sinister "Hellscape" EP

Poni explores existence's darkest corners and brings them to light in her pensive new EP, Hellscape.
Out now via Rezz's HypnoVizion imprint, the three-track EP is Poni's second of the year and follows the February release of her debut, Powerless. Replete with dark, entrancing beats, it explores themes of torment and resignation through alluring and skillful sound design.
"Leeches" with Satin Puppets opens the EP on an eerie note as a siren-like voice draws us in. The vocals then switch to grating and graphic before a symphonic drop bursts with the intent of dragging us right down into Poni's Hellscape. Once we've entered, she makes her intentions clear with "Leave You In The Dark," a track that hypnotizes with alluring vocals by Notelle and a bold, stomping beat.

"Conceptual Reality" then closes out the EP on a spectacular note as Poni makes her vocal debut. Considering the thought of Hellscape's darkness being her new reality, she turns heel on the EP's earlier hopelessness and channels it into power.

Party Favor Bids Farewell With "The Party Never Dies" EP

Party Favor knows how to leave a lasting impression. 
With his new EP, The Party Never Dies, the trailblazing DJ and producer is seemingly bowing out of his solo endeavors as Party Favor for the foreseeable future with a project brimming with the same passion, creativity and chaos that has defined his career.
"My last body of work from me to you," Party Favor said in a heartfelt Instagram post, confirming the EP as his last.
From the opening moments of "Rinse Repeat," The Party Never Dies sets a hypnotic tone. Despite its title's suggestion of monotony, this ominous, trap-laden track is anything but routine. Layers of sub bass and shadowy vocals wrap around a thundering cadence, creating a track that feels like a descent into an exhilarating underworld—the sound of the producer refusing to go quietly into the night.
With "Body," a collaboration with Whethan and Katy Tiz, deadpan vocals slice through grinding basslines like a blade. It's an unapologetic dance floor dominator, a call to surrender your inhibitions and let the music take control. With relentless trap rhythms and gritty textures, this track epitomizes the unfiltered boldness that Party Favor has championed with consistency. Then there’s "Ur Love," a radiant burst of emotional release that highlights his tonal versatility through uplifting house rhythms and vocal chops.
Across seven tracks, The Party Never Dies feels like the distilled essence of Party Favor’s journey, a space where chaos and beauty coexist. While fans may feel bittersweet about it being his final project, it’s clear he's ending on a high note with a body of work that celebrates the versatility that has always been his trademark.

Party Favor knows how to leave a lasting impression. 
With his new EP, The Party Never Dies, the trailblazing DJ and producer is bowing out of his solo endeavors as Party Favor for the foreseeable future. After 13 years, he's released his final body of work, a project brimming with the same passion, creativity and chaos that has defined his career.
To commemorate the release, Party Favor has shared an "honorary funeral music video" featuring over 20 artists, including Dillon Francis, A-Trak, AC Slater, Valentino Khan and more.
"This EP is very special and bittersweet for me because it’s the end of a chapter," Party Favor said in a statement shared with EDM.com. "The Party Never Dies concept with something that I came up with actually a long time ago very early on in my career. It was the idea that when we sleep, the music lives on, and I wanted to convey that sense of euphoria and fun in the music from the beginning.
"This EP to me is a collection of just plain fun pieces of dance music that represent different parts of my journey as PF. And, now that we are at the end of my era, the party will continue, but it will never die."
Across seven tracks, The Party Never Dies feels like the distilled essence of Party Favor’s journey, a space where chaos and beauty coexist.

Birmingham is getting a new underground club

From the people behind the accessible, but raucous, Digbeth party hotspot of over 8 years, Mama Roux’s… Club Colette is located right next door, but promises something wildly different. Whilst Mama focuses on in-your-face entertainment and confetti drops, merging electronic and live music, Club Colette is there to strip it all back and go back to basics, putting the DJ, intimacy, and the sound quality – front and centre, and putting culture first. Something its founders have said has been stripped away from Digbeth in recent years.Located on one of Digbeth’s most well known nightlife streets, the new Lower Trinity Street club is split across two rooms. Its main space features a unique tiered design for elevated dancing, wrapped around the meaty DJ booth.Benjy Hill says: “Room 2 is the smallest in the city – something we’re proud of, in a converted, abandoned fried chicken shop. The two rooms are linked by a terrace under the iconic Victorian viaducts with plans for summer day parties from local and international brands.
In an era where venues and events seem to be growing bigger and bigger – and there’s of course a place for this, we’re focusing on getting the little details right and bringing the artists headlining these mega venues back directly in front of the types of crowds that helped them learn their craft with support from our residents. Whilst there will be some of the world’s most underground acts and brands gracing this intimate and sweaty space, there will be real emphasis on our residents that has lost its place in today’s rave. Our motive is clear: bring back what has been lost.”From March 1st, Saturday’s guests will be hand picked from a host of prolific international electronic DJs from the house and techno world whilst the Chicken Shop will help support many sub genres.
Friday’s programming is geared towards supporting up and coming artists from a broader range of genres, including Hip Hop, UK Garage, Amapiano and Liquid DNB.
Benjy says “It was always our long term ambition to get our hands on all five railway arches at the foot of Lower Trinity Street, and with the re-introduction of food in 2025, we are proud to be creating a real exciting cultural destination, there really is now something for everyone”.
Club Colette opens for a sneak preview of what’s to come on the 14th December for a daytime party with Italian brand After Caposile and Birmingham based CNTRL, featuring headline guests Kepler and Francesco Maddalena, playing alongside residents Lopaski, Mizo, Mark Birch, Alexander M, and HP3, Ning-Ning Li, Jon Morris and more in Chicken Shop.

UKF15: Our First Drum & Bass Upload

Fifteen years deep, it’s been one hell of a ride! With an incredible 1.9 billion streams on the UKF Drum & Bass YouTube channel, it all began with the now-iconic upload of Deadmau5’s ‘I Remember (J Majik & Wickaman Remix)’.
As we gear up for the grand finale of our UKF15 celebrations, a sold-out show at the mighty Drumheads on December 13 – it feels like the perfect moment to reflect on this milestone. We caught up with Sakkurra to talk about what UKF means to her and, of course, her favourite-ever UKF upload.
Your remix of Deadmau5’s – ‘I Remember’ was the first upload on our UK Drum and Bass Channel 15 years ago, what have been some of the highlights of your musical journey since then?
When the ‘I Remember’ remix was uploaded I had no idea who or what UKF was, and neither did I know who Deadmau5 was when asked to do the remix! Little did I know then what an honour it would turn out to be to both remix Deadmau5 and be the first UKF upload with the same track. I have to say that in hindsight for me this was definitely one of the highlights of my career – that upload opened so many doors and introduced me to so many new people, so thanks UKF and thanks Deadmau5.
I can’t quite believe that was 15 years ago though – a lot has happened in that time, I don’t really know where to start, but I do know that everything in that time has led me to where I am now with the Sakkura project. It’s allowed me to surround myself with an amazing group of collaborators who all share my creative vision, and a huge highlight for me now is that we have managed to forge an album project.  This was the landmark to a new era in my career and it is such a pleasure to work alongside such talented people who I am lucky enough to call my friends.
How has the dance music scene changed in the last 15 years?
So much has changed about the music industry since that first upload – the way music is promoted and discovered by fans is definitely a big thing – but perhaps the biggest change for me in dance music has to be the sound design and mix-downs. I remember when a handful of producers seemed to be sonically light years ahead of everyone else, I’m glad everyone has caught up now though, it’s been good for the scene.
What does UKF represent to you?
UKF will always be an important pillar of the drum & bass scene and a tastemaker that has always championed new artists and talent. On a personal level, knowing that UKF is supporting any project or music I put out is always a signal that I’m doing something right, and it’s reassuring to know that the brand is still going strong 15 years on, supporting the next wave of talent.
What’s your favourite upload from the UKF Drum and Bass YouTube channel?
As for my favourite UKF upload, it has to be ‘Solar System’ by Sub Focus, such an incredible track.

From Intimate to Iconic: John Summit’s Comfort in Chaos Tour Ends with a Stunning Finale

From the floor of LA’s iconic Kia Forum, the towering stage looked like a technicolor spaceship. Saturday night marked the final performance of John Summit’s Comfort in Chaos tour, and the Chicago native commanded his audience with the ease of a seasoned pilot. It was a night of unforgettable music, groundbreaking production, and a touch of magic, wrapping up a trio of sold-out shows in Inglewood.
Having attended his intimate album launch earlier this year, seeing the journey from that small venue to an arena filled with thousands was nothing short of surreal. Saturday’s show wasn’t just the finale for LA but a perfect sendoff for a tour that has defined Summit’s meteoric rise.

A Masterclass in Production and Performance
The shows opened with an orchestral rendition of his chart-topping hit ‘Where You Are’, featuring HAYLA’s soulful vocals complemented by live violins and piano. This serene moment quickly gave way to a high-energy remix by Maddix, setting the tone for the night. Summit’s use of a live orchestra brought an emotional depth to his music, perfectly encapsulating the poetic end to the Comfort in Chaos tour. It was a bold move that paid off, further showcasing Summit’s knack for blending the cinematic with the club-ready.
The cutting-edge L-Series speakers by L-Acoustics added to the magic, delivering pristine sound while championing eco-conscious touring. Every beat reverberated through the crowd, drawing us deeper into Summit’s carefully crafted sonic world.
Saturday night featured a carefully curated lineup that amplified the show’s energy from start to finish. Jennssa Acosta opened the night with a set that built the perfect foundation, her impeccable track selection setting an infectious tone. Danny Avila followed with a high-energy performance, raising the crowd’s pulse with his signature beats, while Cassian seamlessly bridged the gap between emotion and rhythm with his melodic mastery.

Special guest performances punctuated the night, with Paige Cavell delivering a stunning live version of ‘Tears’, and KOATES joining for ‘Undo’. The live orchestra returned for a hauntingly beautiful performance of ‘Go Back’, featuring Julia Church, while HAYLA closed the night with a soul-stirring rendition of ‘Shiver’.
From the top rows to the packed floor, the energy in the Forum was pure ecstasy, a reminder of music’s ability to unify and transport.
The Warehouse After-Party
As if the Kia Forum wasn’t enough, the night continued with a superb warehouse after-party that felt like the perfect encore to Summit’s arena spectacle. Athena opened the event with a commanding set, her energy igniting the crowd right from the start. Danny Avila followed, bringing the same heat that had defined his Forum set, while Cassian delivered a seamless performance that blended deep emotion with late-night grooves.
When John Summit finally took over, the intimate warehouse setting amplified the connection between artist and audience. It was a fitting way to end the night—and the tour—with the raw, underground energy that has always been central to Summit’s appeal.
A Man Of The People
John Summit’s Comfort in Chaos tour finale wasn’t just a showcase of his own talent—it was also a platform for rising stars. By featuring two local LA DJs, Athena and Jennssa Acosta, at his Kia Forum shows and after-party, Summit demonstrated his commitment to elevating women in the EDM scene.
Both artists are no strangers to the LA underground, where they’ve built reputations for their dynamic sets and authentic connection to the city’s dance culture. Summit’s decision to spotlight them at two of his biggest shows is not only admirable but also a testament to his status as a true man of the people. By championing local talent and helping to bring more women into the EDM spotlight, he continues to push boundaries and inspire a more inclusive dance music community.
Curation Genius
Danny Avila & Cassian, both stars in their own right were the perfect addition to these lineups. If you’ve been around the world of dance music for an amount of time, i’m positive you know of them, or at the very least their music. Their reputations speak for themselves. I couldn’t think of a better lineup to set the stage for a Summit headline set than big room techno, into melodic techno.
Danny Avila and Cassian, both luminaries in their respective genres, were the perfect additions to the Comfort in Chaos lineups. If you’ve spent any time in the dance music world, their names—or at least their music—are undoubtedly familiar. Avila, with his high-octane big-room techno, brought pure energy, while Cassian’s melodic techno mastery offered the perfect counterbalance of depth and emotion. Both are at the pinnacle of their careers, and their reputations as innovators in their genres speak volumes. For John Summit to curate such a seamless progression of sound leading into his headline set highlights his genius for building unforgettable musical journeys. This lineup was a masterclass in curation, setting the stage for an electrifying Summit performance.
A Poetic End to a Groundbreaking Tour
The Comfort in Chaos tour has been a journey like no other. Summit’s debut album landed at #2 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart and #39 on the Billboard 200, propelling him to new heights. His ability to evolve as both a DJ and producer was on full display at the Kia Forum, where he paired state-of-the-art production with deeply emotional performances.

Debut of elrow's "Hallucinarium" Enchants Chicago With Stunning New Production

elrow, the famed party series from Spain, turned Chicago's Radius into an unbridled playground of dance music surrealism over Thanksgiving weekend.
Imagine Cirque du Soleil meets electronic music, and you’re still only halfway to understanding the sensory overload that defines elrow's events. Just a year after debuting their "Dance with the Serpent" theme in late-2023, the brand is presently touring stateside their new "Hallucinarium" theme, a concept that plunges partygoers into a sacred dreamscape of geometry and psychedelia.
The air shimmered with a kaleidoscope of neon hues and confetti, a vibrant explosion of joy that felt plucked from the dreams of an interdimensional traveler.

Radius served as the perfect canvas for the brand’s two-day takeover. The nearly 5,000-capacity, 55,000-square foot venue has rapidly become a cornerstone of the city’s thriving house music scene, and its towering architecture amplified the surrealism of elrow's expansive production.
Known for its theatrics, elrow delivered a jaw-dropping spectacle on opening night that included neon stilt-walkers and costumed performers dressed as mushrooms and butterflies. And of course their beloved chicken mascot, Rowgelia, who hyped up revelers throughout the night with lovable antics like surfing the crowd on a wobbly raft and taking to the DJ booth to proudly let the elrow flag fly.
The night's curated lineup was equally magnetic. Aluna and Coco & Breezy brought smooth grooves to the decks, enhanced by the former's live vocals that added a soulful dimension. The came Toni Varga, an elrow veteran and staple of the brand since its formative years in Barcelona.
Keeping the momentum going, Walker & Royce went b2b with VNSSA to close out the night on a high, performing their infectious collaboration “I Don’t Remember” off the former's latest album, No Big Deal.

Each set was a journey accentuated by elrow's characteristically thunderous confetti cannons erupting nearly every hour, showering the crowd in a colorful downpour. The party was a celebration of the uninhibited, a collective moment of escapist wonder as thousands danced with reckless abandon, their costumes and smiles reflecting the vibrant chaos around them.
elrow's Hallucinarium is not simply the debut of another theme, but a decisive new chapter of expansion as the brand’s image continues to evolve all while continuing to captivate global audiences worldwide. Having hosted over 150 events in 67 cities across 26 countries thus far, elrow's recognition of their ability to deliver consistently memorable experiences remains unmatched.
As the Hallucinarium tour continues its journey stateside, it’s set to take over Factory Town at Art Basel in Miami on December 8th. For fans of surrealism, house music and pure escapism, it’s an experience not to be missed. Tickets are on sale now.

ACRAZE and Lil Mabu Fly High With Jet-Setting Collaboration, "Take Ya B"

ACRAZE continues to blaze new creative paths with his latest release, "Take Ya B." 
Teaming up with Lil Mabu, a rising voice in hip-hop after a breakout 2023, the EDM.com Class of 2022 star's new collaboration is an unapologetic invitation to live life unrestrained. It's a compelling reimagination of Mabu's "MR. TAKE YA B*TCH," his hit track with ChriseanRock.
Since premiering the track in grand fashion over Labor Day Weekend at Chicago's North Coast Music Festival—where ACRAZE brought out Mabu for an ecstatic crowd—"Take Ya B" has lingered in the vault, building anticipation in the back half of the year. 
The track unfolds with riveting hand-drum percussion that grounds the production in tribal rhythms and a jet-setting tone. Mabu's lyrical delivery brims with braggadocio, a show of self-assuredness that blends well with ACRAZE's dynamic instrumentation. It’s an interplay of two worlds: Mabu’s hip-hop roots shine through with commanding lyrical delivery while ACRAZE's signature grooves provide a high-octane pulse.
With ACRAZE reimagining his sound and Mabu stepping confidently into the world of dance music, the track is fittingly reflective of two artists unafraid to color outside the lines. Listen to "Take Ya B" below and find the new single on streaming platforms here.

Claude VonStroke to End Hiatus, Return to Touring In 2025

Claude VonStroke is turning the beat around.
After a bold detour into bass music as Barclay Crenshaw—a move that was announced this time last year—the Dirtybird Records visionary will return to touring as Claude VonStroke in 2025, he revealed this week.
Destined to reignite his house music legacy on the dancefloor, VonStroke’s resurgence marks the start of a new chapter in a storied career that has thrived on reinvention. As Crenshaw, he captivated listeners in 2024 with Open Channel, a debut album that infused a variety of new creative influences including bass, dub and funk.
But even as the bass boomed, VonStroke’s house music roots have ultimately called him home, at least for the foreseeable future.
"Claude VonStroke is back on tour next year," he shared in a candid newsletter with fans, signaling a seismic shift back to the sounds that defined Dirtybird’s rise as one of dance music’s most celebrated labels.
His first performance as VonStroke in over a year is set for May 2025 at Lightning in a Bottle. Scheduled for May 21-25 at Buena Vista Lake in Southern California, the event will feature VonStroke's return alongside performances by Four Tet, Jamie xx, John Summit, Monolink, Flowdan and EDM.com Class of 2024 star Hamdi, among others. You can check out the full lineup below and purchase passes here.
