Music Permeating Everything
Elias’ story is one of unwavering dedication to self-expression through music.
Since his early teenage years, he has been a perennial presence in various bands from London to Dakar and Berlin, playing everything from bass guitar to piano or saxophone. As a DJ and producer, his path led him through all major stations of electronic music subculture, from Germany’s Fusion Festival to warehouse raves in Sao Paulo or sunrise sets at Burning Man.
Firmly rooted in Berlins electronic music subculture, he is part of the Rebellion der Träumer collective, organizing events around Germany and heading their label while being managed and booked by its associated agency, Revo Artists.
He continues to refine his artistic vision with releases on labels such as A Tribe Called Kotori, XYZ or 3000 Grad, frequently featuring sounds of the handpan which he also integrates into his DJ-sets in a hybrid-live format.
In his performances, Elias chooses to embrace a warm, yet powerful, energetic and sophisticated sound. Weaving intricate narratives into a clear dramaturgic sonic stream of consciousness, he invites his audience to collectively dive deeper into the exquisite and innately psychedelic dream of this present moment.
This musical blend speaks universally to audiences of conscious dance events as well as to those who feel most at home in the endless nights and afterhours of Berlin’s notorious nightlife.
Besides and often engrained within his touring schedule, he passionately sings and performs with Berlins most sparkling vocal ensemble, HeartChor.
Connection, humbleness and vulnerability remain at the core of everything he does, contagiously igniting a childlike fascination within himself and others for the fundamental mystery of being alive.
Music, Growth and Personal Transformation
In his ventures beyond the dance floor, Elias immersed himself into the realms of Gestalttherapy and Hero’s Journeys to lead groups through processes of awareness and self-realization. Forever captivated by the mystery and depth of human connections, he also embarked on a mission to elevate his understanding of Music as a healing art through studies of Music Therapy.
In 2022, he co-created the Weleda ‘Living Soil Camp’ with Open State. The Camp consisted of a guided Hero’s Journey process for several teams from regenerative non-profit organizations. In the process, Elias facilitated an entire week of inner work and reflection through frequencies, harmonies and rhythm.
