Stratis is an electronic duo from Cologne, Germany, formed in 1981 by Antonios Stratis and Albert Klein. Drawing inspiration from artists like Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Chris & Cosey, and Yello, they crafted a distinctive sound blending ambient, electro-wave, and minimal synth elements. Between 1982 and 1986, they released five cassette-only albums, including "Exotic," "New Face," and "Musica da Ballo," on their label Creative Tapes, later known as Temporary Music. Their track "Herzlos" is celebrated as a classic in the minimal electro genre. After a period of silence, Stratis re-emerged in 2004 with the CD "Herzlos," featuring recordings from the 1980s, and followed up with "As Life Goes By" in 2006.
