Biography
At least four artists share the name Syntax:
1) Syntax is a London based electronic duo formed in 2002 by the musicians MIKE TOURNIER (ex-member of Fluke) and Jan Burton (also the band’s vocalist). They are best known for the songs “Prideâ€, “Pray†and “Blissâ€.
After the success of the album Risotto by Fluke, Mike Tournier wanted to move to a much darker production style. He left Fluke and founded Syntax with Jan Burton in 2002.
In 2004, Syntax released their debut album Meccano Mind on Illustrious Records. The Japanese edition included three additional tracks, entitled “Sexographâ€, “Womanâ€, and “Love Song (I Wonder Why)â€. Three singles were issued: “Pray†(#28 UK), “Message†and “Bliss†(#69 UK).
The band suffered poor album sales, possibly due to a lack of support from their record label and a lack of overall recognition. In 2004 the group split. However, their music featured on various TV series, film and games like The O.C., Nip/Tuck, The Invisible and DRIV3R.
A few years after split, Syntax reformed and currently they work on their second album.
2) An Australian hip hop artist: The name might not immediately ring a bell, but if you’ve been familiar with Australian Hip Hop long enough, you’ve more than likely been exposed to the Gold Coast rappers not inconsiderable talents.
