Slaviša Kaurić aka Elaps, Glina, Croatia (Hrvatska)

In 2002 he shows interest in electronic music and starts visiting clubs in Zagreb and its surroundings. In 2003 he gets introduced to DJing from which still does not give up. Later that year, in cooperation with a close friend (Syncro), begins to organize parties at which he hosted a variety of names from the Croatian clubbing and underground scene.

Later in 2008 he started to engage in producing his own tracks, which mainly had Hardgroove techno sound, but first material that came to light was two years later. The first digital edition in which his work appears was "Balkan Arrest EP" on "Disturbulence Records" (Serbia).
Its potential is already visible a year later, and it notes the label "Guilhotina Records" (Brazil) and takes him under his wing where he appears in couple of compilations and EPs. In 2011 he gets a chance and releases his first solo EP called "Semper Fi EP". In the same 2011, parallel with the Brazilians he cooperates with other labels such as "Keep On Techno" (Croatia) and "AK Records" (Ukraine), Carnage Productions (Serbia) where he made some of his own stuff and remixes.

While his production was mainly based only on Techno, the main turn of his work was on various performances and he tried his hand as a DJ in various styles such as Techno primarily or in a lesser extent Trance, Psy Goa and recently Progressive and Tech-House sound which makes the most of his current sessions. No matter which style he plays, sessions are full with his dance and always positive funky, driving and progressive sound from start to finish.

In addition to being one of the few pioneers of techno sound in his home town of Glina, he performes also in other parts of Croatia like Karlovac, Sisak, Petrinja, Zagreb, Đakovo, Rijeka and Makarska. He has worked with important names from the scene, and some of them are domestic Matija Marinic, Wyrus, Miche and Mirzinho, Omega Drive, Chris Chambers, Hadji and Alen Milivojevic, while the various EPs and compilations adorned with foreign contractors such as Malda, Spectral , Peppelino, Christian Peak, Alexey Kotlyar, Diego Herrero, Lia Organa, Goncalo M, Trick-C, George Privatti, Fer BR and many others.

This young man is hiding under the name Elaps and no doubt he will have many more performances and releases, which is justified in view of his great love for quality music.
