The first two-track release from Claude Von Stroke‘s forthcoming Urban Animal LP is now available thanks to his own Dirtybird imprint.

Up top, ‘Can’t Wait’ is kinda reminiscent of some of his older, deeper classics while also pushing further into that new territory, with a sense of restraint and release play games throughout this melancholy tune with a fat bassline locking down the groove. Turn it over, ‘The Clapping Track’ then shows us the fun side of VonStroke where he cuts apart 16 claps and then brings them back together, building up to a standing ovation as a resonate organ sounds. This one goes back to his more tech-inspired house rhythms. The variation with just these two tracks clearly show that we’re in for a treat with the upcoming album. Keen.
