Tech-house innovator and Dirtybird label founder Claude Vonstroke has released his fourth studio album ‘Freaks & Beaks’ and it hits all the spots and more.

The 11-track release weighs in at a little under an hour of music but packs a punch with a liberal spread of charming and swirling tech-house numbers that don’t sway too far from his roots but, also showcases more developed sounds that’ll find themselves on dance-floors for years to come.

The fact we’re still hearing similar sounds some 14+ years after his first album is a tribute to the lasting energy around his output and fans expectations and support, not necessarily wanting anything different but just more of the same great music when they click play on anything Claude VonStroke.

A quick listen of the tracks and we’re firmly backing “Youngblood” feat Wyatt Marshall and “All My People In The House” but who knows what will pop as favourites after a decent rinse.
