Steve Helstrip

Trance DJ & producer based in York, UK.
Whilst studying classical music and composition, Steve Helstrip formed a pop group, The Flood, who signed to ZTT for one single. Steve started out making trance music while working for the computer games developer, Manic Media. Whilst living in Chipping Norton, on the Oxfordshire border, with a relatively basic home studio he produced a trance track which he called ‘Synaesthesia’. This track became the first release under the name ‘The Thrillseekers’. Signed and released by ‘Neo Records’ at the height of the 1998 trance boom, it went on to sell over 12,000 copies on its initial UK release. Since then he has released and remixed tracks under a few various different aliases. He has also been running his own label Adjusted Music since 2004.
