Electronic
music has always been his greatest passion since the days
of eurodance in the early 90s. He felt something special
about it, even if he was just 10 year-old kid, stomping
to the basskicks and singing the lyrics. He soon realised
that his life will be connected to the music in the future,
but never thought that he will be so addicted to it ten
years later. Elyksir started clubbing when he was 18, going
to some techno and house parties, but didnt really enjoy
the music that was played, because it was lacking something-
the magical spark of driving emotions. |
At
that time he came across some livesets of Paul Oakenfold
and Paul van Dyk and was instantly hooked to the sound they
were playing. Later on he discovered Dutch Trance sound
which was getting bigger and bigger with Tiësto and
Ferry Corsten at the forefront of it. Beautiful melodies,
uplifting beats and mesmerizing vocals were the main reasons
why he loved that style so much and is still very keen on
it. He missed that kind of music on Slovenian parties, so
he decided to start playing it, not for the love of mixing
but merely because he wanted to share the music he loved
with others.He began to play on some smaller private parties
in year 2000, presenting selection of records to his mates
and the reactions were great. The real beginning of career
came, when he came partying to his local club Heaven, where
two guys were playing some crazy hard trance. He introduced
himself to them- they were called DJ Mic-E and DJ Etnic
and together they were forming 'Analogica'- a group for
promotion of trance music! They became really good friends
and few months later he was invited to join Analogica and
accepted the invitation without hesitation. So his first
real gig came in January 2002 in Club Heaven. In the past
years he had the privilege to play at almost every Slovenian
club, which supports trance & progressive music and
also played in UK and Switzerland. In 2004 he became the
resident DJ for most popular Slovenian Trance clubnight
called 'TranceGalactica' which hosted some of the most prominent
names in Trance music scene. DJs he played alongside include:
Ferry Corsten, Misja Helsloot, Matthew Dekay, Shane54, Ben
Lost, Andy Bagguley, Solid Slide, Tsuyoshi Suzuki and many
others. |
