On behalf of re:discovery records, it is with great excitement that we announce the release of Stryke – The Introspection Trilogy (1994-2022). rd011 features a track that is very close to my heart. My senior year in high school. I was heavily into chill-out music at the time. Labels like FAX, Instinct Ambient, Reflective, Astralwerks, em:t, Silent, Moonshine, Rising High, Warp, Exist Dance, Visible, Eye Q and others were giving me such a wide array of beautiful sounds of more subdued techno and rhythmic ambient music. I was buying every compilation I could at the time that looked remotely different based on the artwork, the unusual artist names or the tracks. I was soaking in everything I could under the chill-out style. That year 1994 I picked up the 2nd edition of Moonshine's 'United State of Ambience 2'.It has so many good tracks on it. One track that always held a special place in my heart was Stryke's 'Introspection pt.1'. The simple but catchy melody layering. The easy atmosphere made me feel like I was floating in the ocean. The deep 808 bass notes (I hope one day you and I will hear this on an amazing sound system). The amazing strings reach a crescendo nearing the end. This track has so many simple but beautiful sounds on it. It's a great example of what I call sequencer-styled electronic music. At a time when producers layered tracks in more of a sequence then building or placing sounds. In 2021 I was able to get a hold of Greg Chin to see if he was interested in putting the track on my label and letting it breathe freely on its own side alone as the highlight of an EP. Greg was enthusiastic about the opportunity and told me that he always wanted to complete the trilogy he had in mind of a part 2 and 3. The ominous and eerie part 2 adds a terrific tension to the finale of part 3. The last being almost an updated part 1 really concluded the trilogy for me. Both parts melded together on side B pushing near 17 minutes. I want to thank Greg for letting us be a home to complete his journey.

独老舗TECH HOUSEレーベルPLASTIC CITYより。しつこくないピアノ使いとバウンシーなリズムからの、スパークするブレイク使いで地味目の流れからの転換点に使えそうなA1。DANNY HOWELLSによるソフトなシンセ使いのTECH REMIXも収録。前半戦で使える1枚!

ジャマイカ、キングストンで生まれ。14歳ですでにDJとして活動をはじめていた彼は、初期のエレクトリック・オルタネイティブ・シーンから大きな影響を受け、購入したシンセサイザーをもとに、その後テクノ、ハウス、アンビエントなどジャンルをクロスオーヴァーする楽曲を制作してゆく。 John Beltran、Santosとのコラボレーションや、＜Ovum＞＜Guidance＞＜Twisted＞といったレーベルからも諸作をリリース。そして自身の楽曲をセルフ・ミックスした本作は、作品を通して奏でられる叙情的で美しいメロディーと、心地よいシンセ音、そして淡々と脈打つミニマル・ビート、その幻想的ともいえるStrykeのアンビエント／テック／ハウス／ミニマルの心地よい狭間をStryke自身のミックス・センスで堪能することのできる、何かと重宝系の一枚!! さらにトラック13は、日本盤ボーナストラックとして、ここ最近出来たばかりの未発表音源を日本向けに新たにミックスしなおした特別仕様!!
