Greg "Stryke" Chin is a hard working and passionate producer and DJ. Greg's approach to music has been set at the age of four when being taught classical piano and after moving to Miami his love for Beethoven and Chopin mixed up with the early electronic alternative scene. He quickly learned the principles of additive synthesis and started writing electronic songs. He got addicted by spinning and producing his own sounds in the same way and still there's no preference for one side of the electronic way of life. His daily schedule is pretty stuffed: While traveling around the globe he's always at the screen developing new stuff. "Amazon" at Circle Music, his latest contributions to Plastic City ("Imagination of the shape") and releases at Ovum (Josh Wink) or Mute went straight to the top of numerous playlists and reviews.
Stryke has never been stuck to a particular style of music - hates the barrier game. "I see it all as music. Every genre has music which is good and bad. That's it. I hate the fact that some people raise an eyebrow when I release a house record when perhaps they know me for techno. All that should matter is whether something is good or bad. Period." Plastic City proudly presents his latest labours of love "The Narrowest of Paths" - a proof of extraordinary talent and consequence. It's the most emotional piece you have ever heard and of course a cutting-edge production incorporating a great variety of styles and influences. This is more than a bunch of tracks - it's a journey or more a soundtrack for the life on the road. Listen - communicate - understand! |
