A strix is a genus of owls. The Latin genus name, Strix, refers to a type of owl that was (incorrectly) believed to suck the blood of infants.
Neurofunk is a harder sub-genre of acid breakbeats resembling a lot to drum and bass, which involves the use of filters on drum machines and samples, panning techniques and acid basslines, among other tools, to give a psychedelic effect to the tracks.

Song Production Information

L.E.D.

Hello, I am L.E.D..

Although my interpretation of the theme song of beatmania IIDX 24 SINOBUZ was "Karasu", INVISIBLE STRIX would be behind in thematic position?
It seems like crow and birds of prey are both related to ninjas, but this is more like a dark, hidden bird, something like that.

So this genre is NEUROFUNK, but this genre was also a genre that I tried several times in the past and always had a setback.
I wanted to do something impressive in this genre, but I never could do something cool with the BASS.
This time, I think that I managed to make it somehow.

Although this is a digression, I am afraid that a long time ago, my song recorded for the console release of beatmania IIDX 10th style, ACID VISION, is something that I can say is the prototype of INVISIBLE STRIX, but I misunderstood the "LIQUID FUNK" genre as "LIQUID FUNK".
LIQUID FUNK is something rather opposed, as it has a beautiful STYLE with lots of acoustic systems.
LIQUID FUNK will be included in beatmania IIDX, so I would like to do the right LIQUID FUNK there.
