Greg "Stryke" Chin
Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, Stryke began his music career at an early age. He started playing classical piano at the age of four. Moving to Miami, Florida (where he still resides) when he was ten, Stryke became heavily involved in early electronic alternative scene. His love for Beethoven and Chopin were quickly joined by his new love for groups such as Depeche Mode and New Order (not to mention an unhealthy addiction to video games, which he still has to this very day). Buying his first synthesizer at age 12, Stryke quickly learned the ways of synthesis and began writing electronic music with his trusty monophonic Roland SH-101 synth. He soon discovered house and techno from a mix tape given to him by his cousin, a DJ in New York. He was hooked. At age 14, the young Stryke had already begun DJing to make money to buy more synth equipment. But after discovering this new underground dance music, he became as passionate about DJing as he was about making music.
Joel Armstrong
Joel Armstrong hails from Vancouver. In 2005, Joel went on to release a highly anticipated track on new label Proton Music, called Serenity, a track that Progressive Sounds dubbed 'truly astounding,' and gave a perfect 10/10 review. The following year saw two more of Joel's originals, Park Street and Silvermoon, get picked up by label Babylon Records. In 2006 Joel teamed up with fellow producer, Micah, to help run A&R and remix duties for label Ruhnsong Recordings. A collaborative remix between Micah and Joel, of Baltic Sound's original track Glimmer, saw its way into Markus Schulz Ibiza 06 Mix Compilation. In spring of 2007, Baroque Records released another of Joel's original works, After Later, which was licensed for use on Shiloh's Elements Mix Compilation.
Native to Grand Rapids, MI USA, Matthew Hyatt has been submerged in music since youth. Recording at an early age, through his teens he began to develop his production and musical skills. Starting on a two track, to a four track, to a digital environment, sound is still a moving force in his life today. The studio is much different now than when he first began to get involved with guitars, analog keyboards, drum machines, effects, and outboard sequencers in the mid 90’s. The iron dreamer is bringing his message and sound against all odds, and overcoming the giants in his path to push forward his passion for music and people. His current projects are running the Giantslayers label, and supporting Tekfunk with remixes and production needs.
