Guest Mix for PFG The Progcast

Hello everyone, and welcome to another exclusive PFG Progcast, your VIP jaunt across the wonderful world of underground dance floor beats! We venture north across the US Border this week, to Seattle and an ex-pat currently making BIG waves in our scene. With foundations in trance, to his current guise making gorgeous deep prog cuts, and much more! PFG we've unearthed another gem for ya, I KNOW you're gonna love this. Give it up for EL1AX..

‘EL1AX’  (@el1ax) is the Techno/Progressive moniker of Elias Attumally, under which he produces deep progressive house, melodic techno and electronica. Hailing from Kerala(IN), Elias drew inspiration from legendary trance acts such as Above & Beyond, Paul van Dyk and Paul Oakenfold during his formative years as a music producer. In early 2010s, as a self-taught music producer, Elias used to produce Trance under the alias ‘Juvelis’ with which he got signed to the Trance/Progressive house imprint Intricate Records (Russia) in 2014 before taking a break.
Currently residing in Seattle (US), in 2020 Elias rekindled his passion for producing music and launched his new techno moniker ‘EL1AX’, having acquired a new love for the deeper side of electronic music during his hiatus - through the works of techno/prog maestros such as Guy J, Laurent Garnier, John Digweed, Patrice Baumel, Alex O’Rion and other underground musicians. 

In May 2021, Elias made his debut on Praveen Achary’s Bangalore (IN) based underground techno label Juicebox Music with his track ‘Sunset Over Puget Sound’ which was released along with great pieces from top-notch Techno/Progressive artists such as Subandrio, Scippo, Monojoke, Greg Tomaz and more, as part of Juicebox Music’s explorative ambient compilation ‘Tales of Time: Chapter 2’. The VA album received rave reviews and entered the Top 100 Releases on Organic House and Electronica genres on Beatport. His track also received great feedback and support from the Progressive community, including support from prog legend GMJ on his Future Memory show (Ep. 51) and May ‘21 Beatport Charts.

Elias continues to spread his love for Techno/Progressive through his podcast “Peace of Mind Techno” through which he curates deep, meaningful and hypnotic house and techno. Keep an eye out for some great releases from EL1AX.

BIO
