Beat That Bird - Justin Martin and Claude VonStroke

Artist: Justin Martin and Claude VonStroke
Title: Beat That Bird
Cat-No: DB026
Format: Digital Single
Release date: August, 19th. 2009.

Justin Martin released the very first two records on dirtybird and then went on an amazing production path, releasing tracks, mix cds and remixes on multiple labels like Buzzin’fly, Utensil, Om.

Claude VonStroke has been begging him to return to the nest for years and now he is back! Justin has re-joined the family in full force, dedicating himself to multiple new EPs and the raucous fun style that makes dirtybird special. Most importantly he is back with his good friends where he belongs.

Speaking of friends, this time Justin teams up with Claude VonStroke to deliver 6 minutes of pure dirtybird. Justin brought the almost finished track into DB headquarters claiming he was stuck and couldn’t finish it. Claude put it up on the system and decided it was too hot to throw it away. So they worked on it together for a few days and here we are with a new dirtybird bomber.

The track is based around a twisted vocal playing on the old school “Beat That Bitch with a Bat” vocal. But this bit of ADD house goodness could have also been called “The Chicken Trilogy” because it has three distinctive parts that are all different and all happy surprises for the dance-floor.

“Beat That Bird” will also be one of the tracks on Claude’s new album “Bird Brain” out in October and he would like to thank Justin for not throwing the track in the trash bin!
