Barclay Crenshaw and Of The Trees Join Forces for Heavy-Hitting Collab, “Blue Mile”

by Michael Ryan · Published December 1, 2023

After performing a sold-out Red Rocks show together in October, Barclay Crenshaw and Of The Trees have reunited for a brand-new single, "Blue Mile."

Out now on Of The Trees' Memory Palace imprint, "Blue Mile" is infused with trap, bass and grime influences in a boundary-breaking arrangement. The dark and otherworldly track expertly pairs a thick low end with crisp percussion and gritty vocals from UK rapper Strategy, serving as a bold statement previewing what's to come for Crenshaw.

The new track arrives after he announced a hiatus from producing house music as Claude VonStroke, with plans to explore his bass music project under his birth name. Crenshaw has teased a tour and new album in 2024, and he'll be wrapping up this year with a climactic run of final VonStroke shows.

Meanwhile, Of The Trees is currently on tour with upcoming performances at Lunar Tide Music & Arts Festival, HiJinx, Decadence NYE and many more.
