Weiss 'Change Dat' (Dirtybird Records)
By now, we know exactly what to expect from Claude VonStroke’s flawless Dirtybird Records: off-kilter late night house music. Weiss previously had a track on one of the label’s compilation albums, but now it’s time for his own Dirtybird single. ‘Change Dat’ is peak-time wonkiness that sounds like a release from Music For Freaks mixed with Buckfast and MDMA. ‘Charlie Brown’ evokes an image of its cartoon namesake dancing to its shuffling beats, random synths and vocal snips; it’s a tongue-in-cheek house jam that feels at home on this label, and suggests a bright future for Weiss.
