Element Sessions was conceptualized with the intent of providing a platform to upcoming talent that had been hidden away from the public eye. In a place where the club scene is dominated by Bollywood music and Hip Hop, Element Sessions was here to make a difference to those starved for quality electronic dance music. The first Element Session featured the upcoming DJ duo Alive and Tripping. Their internet radio show had already brought them many accolades and Squeeze provided the perfect venue. Element Sessions was the talk of the town gaining press coverage before the event in the DNA newspaper. As expected the first Session was attended by nearly 200 EDM-fans. Needless to say, Alive and Tripping spun a banging set leading to "eargasms" all around. The success of the first session meant that the base was set for a bigger and better event. Vie was lined up for the second session this time with sponsor support. Element Session's firm belief in promoting young talent meant three young & upcoming DJs
took stage - DJs Addy, Letterdevil (USA) and the destruction force Alive and Tripping. With a beefed up sound system and messages going out to 8000 people, this was one of the best gigs. Two media channels (Zee Cafe and E24!) covered the gig which had over 350 people bouncing off the walls to the tunes of all the DJs.
October 2008 saw Element Sessions bringing down one of the best DJs from the UK: Mat Zo (ranked in the top 250 DJs of the world) and doing a two city tour. Aurus (Mumbai) absolutely loved his music and Firefly (Hyderabad) clocked up the best ever business they had seen. Success of this tour with Mat Zo lead Element Sessions to dream bigger and better. Next in the pipeline was Daniel Kandi (From Denmark, ranked 46th in the world) for November 2008. Kandi ensured a packed house at Aurus (Mumbai) as well as a packed pavement outside with about 200 people waiting to enter. Hyderabad & Bangalore too saw very good turnouts and only had great things to say about his music.
Element Sessions is only going to get bigger and better in the near future. Yes, the Future sounds better with you!
