Barclay Crenshaw, widely recognized under his stage name Claude VonStroke, is a seminal figure in electronic music, best known as the founder of the influential Dirtybird label. Under Claude VonStroke, he spearheaded a movement that redefined tech-house with a playful and quirky edge, leading Dirtybird to become a beloved brand with a global following. His innovative approach not only won him several awards but also solidified his status with iconic tracks and memorable performances at major festivals worldwide.

This project was celebrated with a new album and a headline tour, showcasing his evolution and continued relevance in the ever-changing music landscape.
In 2024, Barclay also launched Imperial Dust, a software and sample company, with its first product, the Nasty Channel plug-in, aimed at empowering producers with unique sound design tools.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
