Steve Helstrip, aka The Thrillseekers, has been at the forefront of the global trance scene for 20 years. From his first single 'Synaesthesia', through to countless club classics including 'The Last Time’, 'Affinity’, ‘Es Vedra (With Aly & Fila)’ and more recently ‘After The Rain’ and ‘Amber’, Steve Helstrip has been behind some of the most emotive electronic music ever released. He's worked with pioneers like Trevor Horn, shared co-production credits with Chicane and Ferry Corsten, and remixed for artists including Tiesto and Armin van Buuren. 

As a DJ, Steve continues to captivate crowds the world over and regularly performs at the world’s top venues. Creamfields, Tomorrowland, Ministry of Sound, Godskitchen and Gatecrasher have all born witness to his fluid mixing, unique style and energetic performances. 2006 saw him climb to no. 45 in DJ Magazine’s top 100 DJs poll.

In late 2005 The Thrillseekers moved into compilation territory with the release of 'NightMusic Vol. 1'. The CD and 30 date world tour that followed was an instant smash, generating State-side, Russian and Asian releases of the compilation. Summer 2007 saw the heavily anticipated follow-up hit the stores, and repeated again in 2009 with NightMusic Vol. 3.

In 2014 The Thrillseekers notched up 4 consecutive club anthems including ‘This Is All We Have’, which was consistently voted as one of the top trance releases of the year. Armin van Buuren described his track ‘Find You’ as ‘simply brilliant’ and Steve himself as ‘one of his heroes’.

In 2016 The Thrillseekers released his debut artist album, Escape, on Future Sound Of Egypt and more recently followed this up with Altered State, a double album under his alias, Hydra. MixMag concluded in its review of Altered State that ‘This might just be the trance album of the year’. Not a bad way to wrap up 2019!
