Track List
Debut album by Elias Mazian on Job Jobse’s label De Vlieger. A collection of Dutch synth-pop songs about love, longing and heartbreak. "The second release on De Vlieger comes from one of my dearest friends. I met Elias almost a decade ago on the dance floor of Trouw (a now defunct Amsterdam nightclub) and quickly became very fond of him. We bonded through music and discovered a mutual fascination for Dutch love songs. So when Elias told me he had started to write lyrics in his own language I was absolutely thrilled. After a long day spent together in his studio, deep down in the basement of the building right across the street from the place we had originally met, I realised this could turn into something really special. In the two years that followed I’ve seen Elias pour his heart and soul into this project, recording seven beautiful love songs that completely conquered my heart, and hopefully yours too." - Job Jobse

The debut album from ELIAS MAZIAN — who drew attention with releases on VOYAGE DIRECT and on MITCHELL STREET RECORDS (with a remix by SAMO) — arrives on DE VLIEGER, the label started by JOB JOBSE, a man involved with LIFE & DEATH and INNERVISIONS, a resident at Amsterdam's legendary now-defunct club TROUW, and said to be one of the most trusted DJs in underground music. ELIAS MAZIAN is a DJ himself, having played at RED LIGHT, DEKMANTEL, BOILER ROOM and more, but here he features his own vocals throughout the album. A laid-back, emotional, romantic, dreamy and sweet sound. Synthesizer pop that ties into Europe's melodic leftfield disco and the movement being called the new trance, with the MDMA revival lurking in the background. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
