Do a quick Google search for eLan and the Internet will most likely generate results for a female singer from Latin America, a reggae vocalist from LA, an all-male rock band from Slovakia or the alleged pseudo-name used by Brainfeeder artist Tokimonsta. Few results will actually tell you that eLan is also Elan Stouffer, a mysterious but prolific beatmaker currently residing in San Diego.

Once more the EP comes in limited quantity color vinyl pressing featuring 4 brand new original tracks and a stunning remix by Cosmin TRG.

Over the course of a decade, Wata Igarashi has risen as one of techno's most accomplished DJs and producers. His highly aesthetic trademark sound is as heavily psychedelic as it's driven by its stern kinetic energy. It's often overlooked that Igarashi is much more than a torch bearer of the raw hypnotic techno he became known for. He's also a very accomplished and versatile musician with a deep understanding of the cause and effect of sound design. His skills are fully on display on 2023's full length "Agartha", a film score to a fictitious movie about the mythical underworld of planet Mars. It was a rather obvious idea to cross the bridge between this epic deep listening album and Wata Igarashi's techno persona by having him remix himself. As you might expect, the "Agartha Sorcery Acid Mix" has turned out to be a masterclass in psychedelic designer techno. It's slightly slower in BPM as the usual Igarashi fare but every bit as captivating. The "Floating Against Time Shimmering Mix" shows another intriguing facet of Wata's spectrum. Let's call it: Psychedelic Deep House. KOMPAKT's very own Michael Mayer couldn't resist to turn the Godzilla soundtrack-ish "Ceremony Of The Dead" into a positively hysterical minimal disco operette. And then there's the "Fusion Mix of Abyss II x Darkness" by Philipp Stoffel, a fresh Cologne DJ and producer from whose AKTE club nights a label with the same name is about to emerge. He's definitely one to keep an eye on in 2025.

The Final Experiment

Taken Effect

Lyrics

I never said that you could be my cover
You shouldn’t ask me when you got another
the shit’s so heavy but im holding on its hard to keep my face up
you ain’t got inside me any place, fuck

it feels like it is coming out 
but I know its just the beginning, i aint got a doubt
Going and Growing your’re like an infinite rage
it just keeps pushing me pushing it to the edge

you got something to say
say it to my face
you hit and run away
cause you ain’t got the balls to stay
you take me to the beginning cause i can see the end
im so much ready today cause i ain’t got nothing to spend

cause yeah you always try to blend, try to keep a pace
with a telling that’s a lie and gets them all amazed  
by the power you think you’re making me loose 
think you’re clever getting every one to use
but you're the one abused

you take me down to
you take me down to 
you take me down to

you better get a second to think about it
consider your thoughts about it give it just a minute before you take the wrong turn and burn with it 
burn with it 
like the fine big flame that just came out of your brain when you tried to think about it for 
a minute 
a minute 
a minute 
you will soon fall back

I never said that you could be my cover
You shouldn’t ask me when I’m coming over
the shit’s so heavy but im holding on its hard to keep my face up
you ain’t got inside me any place, fuck

it feels like it is coming out 
but I know its just the beginning, i aint got a doubt
Going and Growing your’re like an infinite rage
it just keeps pushing me pushing it to the edge

Lyrics

hey what do you say about me?
you like to talk a lot baby
i don’t make it light, i don’t take it easy
hey what do you say about me?

even body wants a piece of this
no they cant resist but
i am harder than the road i chose they wont like it when they
get closer

hey what do you say about me?
I was always where I was supposed to be
i don’t make it light, i don’t take it easy
hey what do you say about me?

do you think they ready for the way im gonna break it down to them?
do you think they ready are they gonna understand then?
worked so hard im coming home
because i’ve learned and i have grown
im solid, stronger than before
they just a come and go
why u always got something to prove
something to explain
why wont you leave me here, closer to my bed
you making this because he said
what you trying to prove
You making everyone embarrassed
you’re mistaking me with someone else
whats it gonna be?

yeah what do you say about me
you like to talk a lot baby
i don't make it light, i don't take it easy
hey what do you say about me?

Easy

Wonderful remix ....Epic !
Peace ...
