Elias Mazan is what we like to think of as a typically Amsterdam kind of DJ. Some of them end up playing hip-hop, others play house, sometimes it’s hard to tell and in every case they know enough about good music to be able to reach out across the spectrum. Elias is a house DJ—one of the best in the city. But mainly, he is one of those people that just knows about good music period. A resident at De School (and previously at its predecessor, TrouwAmsterdam), he is also affiliated with Tom Trago’s Voyage Direct label and agency and has listened to more Benji B radio shows than anyone else.
