From Berlin for the world. It is according to this motto that Jean Elan works in the enigmatic music scene of the city. This is where he makes his productions in a style which has little to do with the regional techno traditions. He works internationally but has his feet firmly on the ground, his base is in Berlin and at the weekends he DJs throughout Europe and even does short tours in the USA, Canada and Brazil. His Artist name, which was a spontaneous idea, has a strange effect “Everywhere in the clubs people talk to me in English or French, but in the long run it suits my understanding of sounds”. Jean Elan’s music is a cosmopolitan mixture of sounds - electronic without a puristic departure, House Music with a forceful groove but a certain lightness is also always a part of the production.2010 has brought enduring recognition for his varied sound. He was nominated for a Grammy in the “Best Remixer”- category for his remix of “The Girl And The Robot” – Röyksopp feat. Robyn. He is only the 4th German ever to be nominated in the Remix-category (after Paul van Dyk, Mousse T and ATB). “At the end of the day David Guetta won the prize” said Jean Elan “but just the respect to be nominated with these other great international competitors, proves that I am on the right track with my ideas”. Having produced 20 remixes for other projects and 7 own Singles, Jean Elan has been able to build up his own strong profile within a short time.
