...everything is just about energy...

About Me

If you've surfed many DJ sites, you'll have seen how many guys claim to be 'devoted to making music'.
Constant name-dropping and the impression that they were responsible for important milestones and innovations in dance music!
At Soundstrike, we have a no-nonsense approach to making music. Every new mix we do is another lesson learnt. We are, just a group of guys keen to make the music you can dance to all night!
Where are we from? - Mainly Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. We're at the centre of Europe, with some great dance clubs and even better beer!
How long have we been making music? - Five years
What do we do? - DJing (spinning records and performing), organising events, composing our tracks, promotional graphics (flyers, posters, flash)
Music genre? - Dance! (house, tech-house, progressive, techno, some trance)
The-tools-of-our-trade? - Computers, final scratch, turntables, efx units, ableton live
Our focus? - Precision mixing skills, developing individual styles and sounds
Current activities? - Spinning around the Czech Republic and Egypt, planning gigs and overseas tours, finalising tracks (which is neverending story at some point...) so as to get some production work done, remixing
Soundstrike Releases:
Cairo Connection CD
Beat Bazaar compilation CD
