In 2026, Claude VonStroke continues delivering his brand of quirky and emotional house music. Peak-time frenzy is replaced with patient, low-lit records built for proper underground establishments. Mega-fests are off the calendar. In their place: intimate nights in Berlin, New York, Tokyo. It’s all the same meticulous, slightly twisted production, but now leaner and more underground.

For more than a decade, Claude helped shape modern tech house through his A&R work, introducing artists such as Fisher, Eats Everything, Catz n’ Dogz, and Nikki Nair. He built festivals, club institutions, and some of the first large scale streetwear drops in dance music. In 2022, with love and admiration, he sold everything. Unsure of what would come next, Claude returned to creating. Drawn back to what he first fell in love with listening to labels like Playhouse, Pokerflat, and Planet E, he recalibrated, not to repeat the past, but to get back in tune with his original calling. In doing so, he gave himself permission to make wrong turns, mistakes, chase imperfect ideas, and get lost again, the same way he did when he was first discovering who he was as an artist.

Wrong Number is a collection of those mistakes. 

Instead of festival main stages, it’s tightly curated, small-capacity venues, it’s vibes instead of paychecks. It’s all the wrong business decisions for all the right reasons.  Instead of chasing trends, VonStroke is making records that feel personal again. Deep, odd, slightly off-center. In answering the call Wrong Number pulls him into a broader creative universe that now moves beyond music and deeper into film, art, and fashion.

A new artist album landed May 22, 2026, followed by a worldwide tour focused on some of the best, most intentional rooms on earth. 

When everything feels too right, It's time for some wrong...
