The mysterious two-man sound machine behind Stripper are no strangers to the production world, having carved a reputation for constantly evolving their sound beyond the confines of their genre, and never resorting to musical clichés. Drawing on a hefty knowledge of classic German techno, Detroit electro, UK Acid, NY House and Belgian NuBeat, Stripper is as much about mining these influences as it is to current trends and state of the art studio techniques. Recent releases have been on Ministry of Sound, Giant Pussy Records and 4D Audio.
