After dropping releases on Basic Recordings and Versatile, France’s Julien Jabre decided to launch Elias in 2003 as a platform to release his own music without any constraints. From 2003 to 2005 Julien dropped three singles on Elias including the timeless tracks ‘Swimming Places’ that was later released on Defected Records and ‘War’ that went on to pick up support from the likes of Derrick May, Laurent Garnier and many other renowned DJs.
After a decade of working behind the scenes with various artists and scoring for film, Julien decided to revive Elias in 2016 with a reissue of the magical ‘Stand On The Word’ by The Jourbert Singers with a remix from Dimitri from Paris. The Samana EP in 2019 marked Julien’s own return to his Elias imprint with two nostalgic cuts, including an edit from Oscillat co-founder Lazare Hoche.
