Released on April 17, Claude VonStroke returns with a refreshing and deeply personal new single, “Two Line Groove,”offering a glimpse into his upcoming album Wrong Number, set to arrive May 22. But this isn’t just another house track—it’s a statement, a reset, and a rare family collaboration that feels as intimate as it is intentional.
Built for those who still believe in the magic of underground dancefloors, “Two Line Groove” moves differently. Instead of chasing festival-sized drops or mainstream appeal, the track unfolds with patience. A tight, rolling house groove carries subtle vocal exchanges between Jasper and Ella Crenshaw—Claude’s own children—gradually building into a layered, “in-the-round” vocal moment that resolves in a beautifully harmonious finish.
The result? Something that feels alive, organic, and deeply human.
Rather than leaning into predictable tech house formulas, Claude takes a more artistic approach. The track glides with understated confidence, enhanced by jazzy saxophone accents that add texture without overpowering the groove. It’s the kind of record you can imagine echoing through open-air terraces this summer—think Ibiza sunsets, intimate dancefloors, and crowds that are truly locked in.
What makes “Two Line Groove” even more special is the story behind it. This marks the first time both Jasper and Ella appear together on a Claude VonStroke release. Longtime fans may recognize their voices—Jasper previously featured on “Freaks Don’t Fail Me Now,” while Ella delivered the iconic “All My People In The House” vocal—but this collaboration feels like a defining moment.
Across Wrong Number, every vocal element comes from within the VonStroke household. It’s a deliberate shift away from feature-heavy releases toward something more personal and grounded. Jasper, currently studying pop vocals at the University of Southern California, plays a central role across the album and has even joined Claude on tour as a DJ—making this project feel like a true generational evolution.
And that evolution extends beyond the music.
“Two Line Groove” exists slightly outside the current EDM landscape. It doesn’t try to dominate playlists or headline massive festival stages. Instead, it builds slowly, rewarding listeners who are willing to stay present. It’s a track that prioritizes feeling over formula—and in today’s fast-paced scene, that’s a bold move.
This release also aligns with Claude’s current direction: stepping away from mega-festivals and returning to intimate, carefully curated spaces. From Berlin to Tokyo to New York, his recent shows focus on proper sound systems, smaller crowds, and deeper musical journeys—reconnecting with the essence of underground culture.
For over a decade, Claude VonStroke has played a major role in shaping modern tech house, championing artists like Fisher, Eats Everything, and Catz n’ Dogz. But after selling his empire in 2022, he chose to reset—going back to his roots, rediscovering inspiration from labels like Playhouse, Pokerflat, and Planet E, and embracing imperfection as part of the creative process.
Wrong Number is the result of that journey.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about exploration, risk-taking, and making music that feels real again. Deep, slightly off-center, and unapologetically personal, the album represents a new chapter—not just for Claude, but for the way he approaches art as a whole.
With “Two Line Groove,” that vision is already coming to life.
Claude may still be dialing the wrong number—but this time, it feels like exactly the right call.
