Sounds Like: Track productions - All Strike Ones productions are his own unique style, with a mixture of complexed drum beats and subliminal melodies. An indiviual style which is different to most other producers. Tracks have evolved into a hybrid of multiple genres, such as: the "Military Riddim" which sounds like a combination of Hip Hop and Grime. "Lovin' You" which sounds like a mixture of R'n'B and Funky House. and so on. His remixes are a blend of either instrumental track from other arts (Snap Your Fingaz/Touch It) or using his studio to create the beats himself (I'm Sprung) __________________________________________________ DJing Techniques - His DJing style includes Mixing, Scratching, chopping and screwing two tracks, basic beat juggling and live remixing. He is also always learning how to master new techniques such as more advanced beat juggling and more complexed scratching from other DJ's that inspire him. __________________________________________________
