Amplify Series 113 - Elyas

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @elyas13130sp for its 113th episode of Amplify Series. Marseille-based producer Damien Lapéna launched his ELYAS project on the renowned Modularz imprint from Los Angeles. Between 2010 and 2016, he released over 35 vinyl records across various projects, collaborating with industry heavyweights such as Jérôme Sydenham, Perc, Dustin Zahn, and Pfirter. During this period, he performed at some of Europe’s most prestigious venues, including Tresor, Berghain, Corsica Studios, and Cassette Club, as well as in New York. His sets saw him share the stage with influential artists like Function, DJ Nobu, Developer, and Grindvik. After a long hiatus, ELYAS returned in 2020 with fresh inspiration and a renewed creative vision. Since then, he has released new material on Soma Records, Ben Sims' Symbolism, and The Infamous Player, marking a new chapter in his career with a signature blend of raw, driving techno. In addition to his production work, ELYAS is the founder of Seclusion, a label dedicated to showcasing forward-thinking, raw techno. With Seclusion, he creates a platform for like-minded artists who share his passion for deep, hypnotic, and powerful sounds that push the genre’s boundaries. A true artist at heart, ELYAS is dedicated to the art of DJing in its purest form, delivering high-energy, vinyl-only sets that showcase his deep connection to music. With an ever-evolving approach to production and an uncompromising energy behind the decks, he continues to push boundaries, delivering hypnotic and powerful techno for the dancefloor.
