Release day!
This fifteen episode in the Elata series features Najel Monteiro a Rotterdam based DJ and producer.

Najel's innovative and futuristic sound is not just a reflection of his musical talent, but also of his passion for creating music that makes a difference. He uses his music to voice important societal statements, giving a platform to marginalised communities and shining a light on important issues. With an equal measure of soul and authenticity, Najel proves that music has the power to inspire change and bring people together.

In an industry that is often dominated by a single culture or gender, Najel is a proud champion of diversity and inclusivity. He is dedicated to creating a music scene that is accessible to people of all cultures and backgrounds, and believes that music has the power to break down barriers and bring people together.

Thanks a lot Najel to be part of it !

Elata stands for a flower which offers you the impression to kiss your deepest mind beyond your profound conscious and gives you a loud and extensive dump through your body.That is the quintessence of what we want to create, from the cavernous infancy of organic sounds to the purity of heavy drums, we aim to drive you into an hypnotic and shamanic bubble of sounds where your mind will be trapped following fast rhythms, as captured by the chemical kiss of Elata.
