Stryder started spinning around the age of 15, in small youth clubs, from there he attended his first smallville techno/trance parties at age 16, and now he throws his own parties in Ghent or elsewhere in Belgium.
His main style is melodic uplifting and for genre he chooses mostly goa/psychedelic trance, but he likes the regular trance as well, also plays extensively in chill-outs, jazz to psy-chill, electronica to downbeat, he just likes all of his music to be very emotionally charged, psychedelic and experimental, sometimes totally over-the-top commercial, and of course preferably downright from the soul.
He himself has the following to say about it “I can’t really describe my taste, the music just has to have that certain ‘touch’ which can be anything from the smallest sound effect or sample to the most elaborate melody structure and arrangement.”
If it just has that special, almost undefinable (but audible) ‘X’-factor in it to him, you’ll be sure to hear it in his sets :)
