On this spooky Halloween night of redness and darkness, we invited Amsterdam's infamouse club De School's resident Elias Mazian to take you into another space with mysterious sound. This Dutchman's music with influence of Moroccan background will spread all over the corners and nerves with electic disco, house, acid and techno. Be spooky, be daring and be ready to dance! Dress code: spooky with Chinese touch!

 

Elias openly admits to being passionate, emotional and senstitive, and it shows in his DJ sets which take inspiration for the music around which he grew up - Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Wonder - as well as from more contemporary flames like Omar-S, Zip and Beautiful Swimmers. To date he has played venerated night spots like Concrete, Sub Club, Le Sucre, Institut Fur Zukunft, Nitsa, Objekt Klein Aand many others.

 

"As a kid, music could give me the feeling of going into a time capsule where not hing else mattered" says Elias Mazian, and that is something he tries to convey in every DJ set he now plays. The Dutchman has a Moroccan background but grew up in the Netherlands and is now a firm fixture on the capital's club circuit.

 

"When I make music and I play out, I have to open up my heart and be able to spread the same love that I get when I'm on the dancefloor", he admits. "That warm feeling that hits my soul is the thing I aim for when producing my tracks or when I play in the club. Music is a highly emotive way of expressing myself, and when people recognize that I'm the happiest person on the planet.
