Claude VonStroke is done playing the industry game. After two decades building Dirtybird into one of the most recognizable brands in dance music, selling the company, and taking a well-earned break, he’s back—but this time, he’s calling the shots. His Life of Leisure tour isn’t about flexing status or filling the biggest venues possible. It’s a carefully curated run of shows at places he actually wants to play, for people who actually want to be there. The idea is simple: a few hours of pure, no-pressure fun, soundtracked by VonStroke’s signature weird, groovy, bass-heavy style. “This isn’t a status flex, it’s a vacation on the dancefloor,” VonStroke says. “The ravers are the heroes; I’m the guide. Let’s leave the stress behind and live the Life of Leisure together.” The tour kicks off April 25 at the Knockdown Center in New York, coinciding with the release of his new EP, I Was the Wolf
