He started making his first beats with the software called Fast Tracker 2 and got amazed by the arts of Demoscene. He has been addicted to beat making ever since then. In his audio work you can discover elements from almost all kind of genres that he has been influenced by, the dirty drums and heavy bass lines from drum bass, glitchy and synth sounds from experimental music, pumping hip-hop beats, some house feel here and there, through trip-hop and add the magic power of jazz. His first album “Post Apocalyptic Beats” was released in 2008 at "Dusted Wax Kingdom" netlabel, which is mainly involved in the abstract hip-hop, downtempo, trip-hop genre. In 2009 he was invited to perform on the Netaudio festival held in Berlin to perform a Live set.Since then he has been actively producing tracks and giving Live gigs with a fellow musician from Hungary called Rare and on his own. In 2011 his remix for Tracing Arcs track "Icefloes" was featured on their remix album "Eye See You Too (Remixes & Forbidden Fruit)" released at "23seconds" netlabel. In the summer of 2011 Rare invited Strad to join him on a performance taking place at Europe's biggest summer festival held in Hungary, "Sziget" festival.
