REVIEW: Jean Elan - Flashed / Nerd out on Pilot 6/Armada Music


1.Flashed (Original Mix)
2.Flashed (Dabruck & Klein Remix)
3.NERD (Original Mix)



He looks back upon a Grammy nomination for one of his many remixes, was part of the successful Dabruck & Klein collab on ‘I’ve Got My Pride (Hold My Head High)’ and keeps the fire going with his brand new singles ‘Flashed’ and ‘Nerd’. Ladies and gents, this is Jean Elan.

A big fan of cross-over sees Berlin-based producer Jean Elan rock the PILOT label with a deliciously indefinable masterpiece of music. ‘Flashed’ is one of those tracks that, once stripped down, has a bit of everything. Combining the best of both worlds, ‘Flashed’ dives into the depth of prog, while providing energy with a housy beat. Its string-driven break, fierce but playful, leads to an explosion of techy electro. ‘Flashed’ has everything a dance floor essential needs.

‘Nerd’ rides a different type of groove, constantly building tension. It’s got an addictive, deep bass, loud drums and a strong drive that gets you hooked from first play.
 
German duo and remix-masterminds Dabruck & Klein, make ‘Flashed’ kick in even harder. Their remix is playful, sturdy, strong and makes the hearts rumble wildly. 



Dimitri Kechagias review: Pilot 6 is one of those labels that know the rules of the game and provide the masses with progressive bombers that are situated in the borders of quality progressive house and trance. This time the release comes from the able hands of one of the finest and extremely talented German prog house scientists, the superb Jean Elan that offer us two big prog house anthems in one release. This is what I call real deal and lucky bargain. Firstly the big anthem in the making Flashed. Superb stompy prog house manic beats and what we were waiting for in the break. Epic dramatic strings that add certain atmosphere to the track making it perfect peak time choice for any prog house set. Really melodic, really classy, simply effective and beautiful. The always on great shape Dabruck and Klein deliver another extra large interpetation that is tougher than the original and includes dirty dutch house parts as well that push the whole release to the limits. If you go for tougher sounds this duo has the right present for you. NERD is the second original that is a totally different little monster. It has little housey riffs with cool little melodies and constant progression and build up that sounds like the perfect track to keep the vibe in the prog house set with sharp edges. It sounds ready for dancefloor domination.
