DOWNLOAD STRYDER DJ-SETS:
Hi there! Welcome to the stryder myspace page!
Stryder is an electronic musician and photographer hailing from the beautiful rural town of Echo Soils in Belgium. He started his project around the end of 2005, but already started producing music a few years before.
Psychedelic music is the main inspiration behind his own productions (In particular, the ever-changing sound of Infected Mushroom!!!) but his influences range wide, very wide... Right up to catchy melodic techno from Detroit and Chicago from the golden era to beautiful ethnic dub, emotional melodic trance, melancholic anime soundtracks and lost Nintendo game soundtracks, the list goes on... the emphasis lies on strong atmospheres and catchy melodies, mind and heart-gripping music.
In 2006 he started giving own parties on a small scale in the heart of Ghent's nightlife. Since then many DJ-sets around the country have followed for him and the first international one came in January 2008.
After a second performance in Germany his very first live act soon saw the light! It was given early in the morning in Hotel Borgo Sereno in Franconalto, Italy, on a party hosted by Looney Moon Records. The track listing included eight own compositions ranging from slow Progressive-oriented tracks to powerful Melodic Full On with an Oldschool twist, as in the Belgian tradition! :)
Most DJ-sets delivered are of course in the (G)Oldschool Goa sound but also Full On, Night Full On, Dark Psy and Progressive Trance cds and compilations sit firmly inside his cd-bag. Occasionally when specifically asked for, he will perform a set in one or more of these genres. He also takes a knack in combining and transitioning between all kinds of musical genres, especially on the chill out stage or when allowed, the main stage! Always expect to hear something out of the ordinary from him, conformity is not his brightest star. A very nice example is the Caribbean Drift promo mix, who you can find on his homepage somewhere, where the musical journey starts in a terrifyingly sweet chill out Dub, yet to evolve into Break Beat-trance, and while laying down some of his most favorite Progressive Trance tunes in between, makes the sudden switch to Dreamy Melodic Full On while never losing the sweet oceanic feeling of the whole mix! In the chill out he plays his own genre, a nameless one in a sometimes champloo-ish dj-style. Sweet jazzy vibes to crazy acidic breaks or horrifyingly haunting ambient, you're just not gonna be able to name it all considering he's just started collecting vinyls for his vast and literally ever-expanding record collection!!!
Since summer 2007 Stryder is also active in Audio Mastering ! Check this page for a regular new addition to his mastering catalogue and prepare for these tracks in full power on the dancefloor!!!!
