Trilithon

Trilithon is a synthesizer project initiated by Huib Schippers in 1990.

The project’s members include Huib Schippers, Erik van Vliet, Claudia Robine, and Katja Witsenburg.
The project name was briefly taken over by Ray El Lungo (real name Erik van Vliet) between 1991 and 1994, a period during which an album and several 12″ maxis were written solely by El Lungo without Schippers’ participation.

Huib Schippers has been composing and producing music since 1984.
His first success was a collaboration with Edvin van der Laag that gave rise to the Syntech project.
He is considered one of the pioneers of trance music, although he referred to his own music as “track house”.

He is recognized as having inspired major trance artists like Astral Projection, which explains their remix of Trance Dance 128 on the album Another World.
He also collaborated with them on the track Burning Up (Oval Records – 2000).

The project is also known under the alias DNA (9) and has seen its name spelled in various ways such as Thrilithon, Thrillithon, Trilitron, Trilothon, or Trithilon.

Trilithon’s music is associated with various electronic genres including trance, goa trance, psytrance, house, techno, gabber, acid house, speedcore, and chicago house.
