Claude Vonstroke

In 2026, Claude Vonstroke takes a new step. The frenzy of peak-time is gone, replaced by patiently crafted, low-lit floor fillers built for genuine underground spaces. Giant festivals are no longer on the calendar. Instead, there are intimate nights in Berlin, New York, and Tokyo. The meticulously detailed, slightly twisted production is still there, but it's more refined and delves deeper into the underground. For over a decade, Claude has shaped modern tech-house by discovering artists like Fisher, Eats Everything, Catz n’ Dogz, and Nikki Nair through his A&R activities. He built cultural institutions in the form of festivals and clubs, and even launched one of dance music's earliest and largest streetwear drops. But in 2022, he sold it all with love and respect. Unsure what was next, Claude returned to “creating.” He was drawn back to the feeling he had when he first fell in love with labels like Playhouse, Pokerflat, and Planet E. Instead of repeating the past, he re-adjusted to return to his origins. In doing so, he allowed himself to go “the wrong way,” to fail, to pursue imperfect ideas, and to get lost again, just like when he first discovered himself as an artist. The new project, 'Wrong Number,' is a culmination of those “mistakes.” Instead of the main stage at festivals, carefully selected small venues. Instead of high fees, the vibes that flow there. All the "wrong business decisions" based on the right reasons. Instead of chasing trends, VonStroke is making records that feel personal again: deep, weird, and slightly off-center. Answering that call, 'Wrong Number' draws him into a vast creative universe that goes beyond music and delves deeply into film, art, and fashion. A new artist album will be released in 2026, followed by a world tour focusing on the best, most "intentional" spaces on the planet. When everything feels too right, it's time to embrace the "Wrong."
