Erik Strauss is an italian DJ, music composer and visual artist.
His early exposure to disco and funk vinyls sparked a deep love of electronic music, especially underground and minimal genres. As he grew older, his passion for music composition evolved, leading him to experiment with sounds from various genres: inspired by the multifaceted David Bowie, the Miles Davis' jazz and the trip-hop style of Massive Attack and Portishead.
Erik Strauss has published many singles and EPs under Level One Records, Nuit Blanche, Ubiquity Records and Deep Electronics.
His first album "Urbanature" (featuring artist such Ryal and The Gardener) includes the single "Darkside (a way to come back)" which is "A masterfully produced cut we keep on coming back to" (XLR8R).
