Claude Young Jr. is acknowledged globally as one of the most respected producer / DJs to come from the legendary home of Techno, Detroit, Michigan (USA). Magazines, newspapers & websites frequently credit him as one of the most exciting and innovative DJs of the last two decades.

He is one half of the group Different World along side long time friend and production partner Takasi Nakajima. After their highly praised first release "Rapture" for UK artist Kirk Degiorgio's ART label, a Remix for Phil Agosta's single "Carousel for KMS Records", and Octave One's last single "New Life" for 430 West Records, Different World have now been signed to Kevin Saunderson's legendary KMS Record Label. DW also performed their first live show as the headlining / closing act on the Detroit Stage of the 2007 edition of the Detroit Electronic Music Festival "Movement". Young returned to his home town in 2011 to perform the closing set on the Made in Detroit Stage at "Movement 2011" and his set was praised by many as the hi-light of the festival weekend.

URB magazine said of his performance "Closing out the festival with the longest performance of the entire weekend, Claude Young played a set for the ages. Ranging from jacking house to minimal and more industrial rhythms, Youngʼs homecoming was a delight for those who knew to gather at the Made In Detroit stage, which boasted an excellent sound system and an impressive collection of fellow Detroit DJs and producers (BMG, Carlos Soufront, T-1000, Derek Plaslaiko, Patrick Russell, Traxx) gathered to dance to one of their friends and heroes."
Following his various solo club and festival performances Young and Nakajima finished 2011 with an extremely impressive tour of the USA as Different World, performing an 8 Hour (all night) set at the legendary "BUNKER" club in New York City, then moving on to play Washington DC & Pittsburgh all in a matter of a few days.
