About Me

Elementz Sound Collective has been described many times as Australia's foremost drum n bass promotions group. One only has to look back through the countless high quality events represented in Austrlalia by Elementz throughout the years to acknowledge that this title is entirely deserving.Representing and touring international DnB artists and in the process making many important contacts Elementz has established itself as the primary Australian touring agent whilst working with overseas artist managements for the likes of Goldie, Suv, Teebee, Roni Size, J Majik, Noisia , Klute, Total Science, DJ Cash Money and many more.Formed in 1999 by long time good friends, Roger De Payva (Blanco) and Jerry Poon (JPS), Elementz entered the Melbourne drum n bass scene in humble fashion, with small local nights called Bassix held in a dingy basement club. The crew back then consisted of JPS and Blanco, alongside Fletch, Seven and Gem, which soon saw these parties become a much anticipated event on a monthly basis.Each time building up a more and more of a loyal base of support, Elementz soon became a force in the Melbourne drum n bass community. In 2000 Blanco and JPS decided to venture into doing International parties, identifying a real gap in the drum n bass scene. The idea was to bring over international artists who were overlooked by other tour agents, so in October 2000 the first Elementz international party took place, featuring a then little known Metalheadz DJ called Clarky which saw a crowd capacity of only 150.Not to be disheartened, in the following 6 years ESC has put on some of the most exciting and popular drum n bass parties that Melbourne has witnessed, exceeding crowds of over 1000 as well as branching out into Hip Hop with the likes of DJ Craze, DJ Cash Money & Roc Raida to name a few.Whilst seeing both highs and lows of the scene, Elementz has continued to promote drum n bass in Melbourne with an unflinching determination - all based around their love for this genre of music with things only looking brighter in the future.UPDATE!!:ELEMENTZ HAS A NEW MYSPACE SITE: HTTP://WWW.MYSPACE.COM/ESCMELBOURNE
