Jean Elan describes his everyday life in the urban jungle of Berlin as “heaven on earth”, although there are other built-up and densely populated capital cities, which he feels are definitely worth more than a weekend visit.
His daily dose of “concrete fever” in this multi-cultural melting pot is a constant source of inspiration – it is here, where he has found his creative oasis and has become the producer of several of the most successful House- and Dance-Tracks.
With every step he draws not only life-giving breath but the renowned and much acclaimed “Berliner Luft”, which has always smelt just that little bit different from everywhere else in the country – it’s really splendid air – in fact just the right kind of climate for artists like Jean, who quickly discovered his taste for electronic music and has achieved international releases for numerous projects.
His bold releases can be found in the midst of the present genre of electronic club music – slightly minimal but with a good helping of House music – and then combined with the right kind of groove. His correct formula is, of course, a well-kept secret!
Influenced by the culture and people of Berlin, Jean Elan masters the thin line between hype and coolness – his productions fill the dancefloor – and not just here in his home country; the sound and tempo of large metropolises can be felt in his tracks, whether it is, for example Moscow or New York, both of which are places he has learned to love.
Creative influences from numerous journeys and the contrasting ways of life in Berlin are captured by Jean on tracks he produces in the studio, such as the current single release “Where’s Your Head At” – Jean Elan
Thanks to his very open-minded and interested character he has not only been given awards for his productions, but he has gained much acclaim through his long-standing advisory position with the record label, Ministry of Sound.
This global player still believes in the communication of the apparent opposites and even when his working day is done, he still looks forward to exciting acoustic impulses - even if it is only the audio-book of a current bestseller!
