Biografia
The Thrillseekers is the trance project of Steve Helstrip, whose Synaesthesia emerged from a modest home studio in 1999 and became a defining record in his career. Melodic writing remains central to his approach: ideas often begin at a piano or guitar, or with a sound he can play, before becoming fully arranged productions.
His work spans collaborations and co-production with artists including Chicane and Ferry Corsten, remixes for Tiësto and Armin van Buuren, and vocal records such as Waiting Here for You with Aruna. As a DJ, he has played Creamfields, Ministry of Sound, Godskitchen and Gatecrasher, alongside developing the NightMusic mix and radio series.
Helstrip also produces as Hydra and has participated in the collaborative projects Rapid Eye and Insigma. The Hydra album Altered State explored another part of his musical identity, supported by listeners through a direct-funding approach rather than relying on a conventional label advance.
