For the past two decades Rígur Lárus, formerly known as Rui, has been exploring and finding the essence behind various straightforward genres. From Trance to Techno and everything in between. Always in search for that specific trance feeling and storytelling in music.

Growing up as the youngest of four siblings, he acquired a matured music taste rather quickly and this propelled him into the late 90’s trance scene. Highly inspired by the Magik Mix Series and the Innercity '99 CD by Tiësto he started mixing with vinyl. The storytelling in these mixes, to this day, is unheard of and still the foundation & inspiration for the music Rígur Lárus selects for his mixtapes today.

Timeless and ever effective melodies, found in various styles and blended into mixtapes with a heady sound palette is what distinguishes the sound of Rígur Lárus. Making it a crossover blend of various styles from older & new Progressive, Deep House to Melodic Techno. Discovered in different places and with that specific trance feel and emanating old sounds that marked him as a teenager. 

At one point Rígur Lárus took a three year hiatus to start selling vinyl as Troost Records, for the love of vinyl. Sending various House genres all over the world. Making people happy with the older sounds, because people really need to know where it all started, as part of music education.

The start of ‘17 he reignited his passion for making mixtapes for smaller audiences on Soundcloud. Aptly titled Make Mixtakes, always striving for the perfect blend with some raw edgy mixing. Rígur Lárus could never leave the unanswered feeling of passion for melodic music in the past. Therefore making him determined to be heard today with his unique quirky sound. An acquired taste.

Creative, Steady, Determined.

 This native Chicagoan came of age during the burgeoning local dance music scene in the 1980s. A fast and eager learner of the technical skills of his craft, it has always been his desire to speak to his listeners through musical selections to evoke feelings beyond mere dance floor mayhem; He plays music that makes a difference. 

 In 1998, Elbert was approached by the Giorgio Armani boutique in Chicago to play their annual Christmas Party, at Maxim's de Paris, a posh and private venue on Chicago's fashionable Gold Coast neighborhood to rave reviews. Numerous guest appearances followed, most notably are the Bang The Party Brooklyn/Manhattan events hosted by Lorie Caval and Eman, the Funky Buddah lounge, 2i's (NYC), Sound Bar, Glass (NYC), Sonotheque, Zentra, Transit, Baktun (NYC), the Victor Hotel, the Monkey Club in Paris France, Square One, Transit, the Def Mix Zone (XM Radio channel 80), the grand opening of A/X Armani Exchange in Schaumburg, Illinois and a featured interview on the Ministry of Sound's Mix of Nations television program. In the summer of 2003, Elbert joined respected djs, producers and performance artists for a summer music festival billed as the Sound System Block Party in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood; a wildly popular annual event that brings people together around quality music and art. 

 In 2002, Elbert was commissioned by Frederick Dunson of D/E Entertainment, to play at a birthday celebration for legendary DJ Frankie Knuckles. Frankie was so impressed with Elbert's talents that he granted him the rare and honored privilege to open the evening at D/E's annual July event at the House Of Blues; Elbert would embark on a four year tenure of playing occasional private home gatherings and warming up crowds for the Godfather of House Music! Frankie’s passing was distressing for everyone in the House Music community but, the City of Chicago's Department of Cultural Affairs put together an epic event honoring Frankie's life on June 3rd 2014: Elbert was the first deejay contacted to pay his respects with a heartfelt DJ-set to a crowd of thousands in Millennium Park.  Recently, Elbert has been working on studio production, resulting in the release of his reworking of Rufuss’ “Higher Together” (DJ Elbert’s Dance floor Redux) featured on Qalomota’s Classics Remixed, and "Beacon of Light" featuring spoken word artist Isa Bright Starr, also on Qalomota Records, France. Elbert was also a contributing editor for 5 Magazine Chicago, a monthly publication that covers local, and international house music culture. (www.5chicago.com/djseries/may2007.html) In 2007, Elbert graduated with a design degree from Columbia College Chicago, and was selected by CDM/NFP to create the official logo for "Move: the 2006 Chicago International House Music Festival."With these reputable talents behind him, look for Elbert to gain new levels of experience in the times to come.
