Dirtybird head-honcho Claude VonStroke was given a warm introduction from Pete Tong last night when the clock struck Essential Mix. Claude’s guest mix for BBC Radio 1 (his second to date), was put together upon completing a 25-show tour and is described by the man himself as not only road favorites and new records, but containing noticeable human errors — but VonStroke admits on air that he’s not perfect, and that such element makes his mix feel more real. The front half of the two-hour selection offers unreleased Dirtybird records that will make way in 2014 while the latter half moves away from four-on-the-floor to wander through other sounds and artists.
