Tyranoid vs Michael Strongstream Website

Tyranoid/Strongstream, also known as Tyranoid vs Michael Strongstream, is a producer duo making hard electronic dance music. They are based in Helsinki, Finland.

Tyranoid (Rauli Valo) and Michael Strongstream (Mikael Wahlström) made their first tracks together in 2003. Both Tyranoid and Michael Strongstream have been into electronic music since the early 90's, although until 1998 their primary musical interest was in metal and industrial music.

Their liking for hard and aggressive music is still evident. Tyranoid/Strongstream's tracks are a mixture of different influences from various genres of electronic dance music, e.g. hard nrg, techno, acid, freeform, industrial and psy. They prefer real analogue synthesizers and effect units for edgier and warmer sound. Their tracks include lots of samples from films, television, games and beyond. Tyranoid/Strongstream try to make tunes that differ from mainstream hard dance while still being enjoyable to listen and dance to.

Most of all, Tyranoid/Strongstream is a live act. They love playing on stage and having a good contact with the audience. Tyranoid/Strongstream holds residency at Fusion Drive underground parties in Helsinki. Their live gig highlights so far include Konemetsä festival, Club Säde in Helsinki and a two-club mini tour in Poland.

Tyranoid/Strongstream's music is influenced by bands and DJs such as Carbon Based, Hardfloor, Kraftwerk, Lab4, Ministry, DJ Neon, Nine Inch Nails, Prodigy and DJ Proteus.
