Through the storm

Electric Forest is a festival in Michigan. It’s a 4 hour drive from Detroit so I got to stay at my parents house again. I have played this festival many times under my Claude VonStroke alias, but 2024 was going to be the big Barclay show. I had even collected an entirely new DJ pool of tracks to pull from.

My wife and 16 year old daughter made the trip with 3 dancers, lightbender on visuals, my tour manager and my assistant. This is a lot of travel organization.

An hour after we got there the thunderstorms started hammering. My 9:30 set was In jeapordy. As I watched set after set get cancelled my amazing team kept on top of the promoters.

The storm let up about as late as it possibly could.  But Instead of going home without playing I ended up getting moved to the main stage to play right before the headliner, Subtronics. This is a difference of probably 15,000 people and I bet more than 2/3rds had never seen me play. The best kind of opportunity.

Once again good karma prevailed and we smashed it. The dancers and visuals were incredible and most of the music worked really well. We could have left at 9:30 but we stayed and prayed and Michigan blessed us once again!

Much love,

Barclay

P.S. i have some album remixes coming through very soon as well as a new collab with Zeke beats. Stay tuned for new music!
