Elay Lazutkin

Originally from Moscow Russia, Elay Lazutkin has carved a niche for himself as one of today's rising stars in the electronic, and techno music scene.
Elay has dedicated three quarters of his life to music. At the age of six he started playing the guitar. At sixteen he got his degree in music, and at eighteen he discovered his innate ability to write electronic music.
At the end of 2008 Elay fell in love with the new sound of techno music after many years listening to other genres of electronic dance music styles. He liked the light, airy sound in the music; thus minimal techno captivated him instantly.
In the fall of 2009, the first ideas for the Elay Lazutkin project manifested themselves, and his first tracks were recorded. By the end of October, having already established himself as a successful electronic musician, Elay released his debut EP, “Freedom”, on German label Planet B.E.N. Techno. As expected, this release was met with wide support from his fellow musicians, and wide critical acclaim. Following this success, Elay Lazutkin received an offer to release his second EP, “My Cosmo Cat” on the label, IBZ recordings / Spain, Ibiza. This release has received support from many of the gurus of techno.
In the summer of 2010, Elay released 3 EPs: “Why Not?” and “Pitch Like Sex” featuring remixes of Elay's original tracks, as well as his mini album from the Italian Binary404, “Come On.” During Winter 2010, the American music label Armada Music, together with with Perfecto Records released new compilation. The track list included the track 'Let’s Take Noise', which had been released earlier on the mini album "My Cosmo Cat". Later in 2010, Ilya released another new mini-album "Ibiza", IBZ Recordings. The release drew attention from absolutely everyone in the industry.
In the first half of 2011, Elay released tracks on several compilations from UMEK, on the top labels: Toolroom and 1605 Music Therapy. His tracks “Ibiza” and “1Guy” spent several months on Beatport's Top 100 downloads. After that he presented his new single, “3003” on the New York based music label, King Street Sounds. Later in 2011, Elay released his single "UFO" on King Street Sounds, as well as his mini-album "Funky" on IBZ Recordings.
As 2012 arrived, Elay started the year strong with several releases including: "Watch It" on King Street Sounds, as well as "It's Not Me" released on the music label Neptuun City. For Summer 2012, Elay is working on a new mini-album entitled "Fuckin Rave", set to be released on Neptuun City.
The foundation of Elay Lazutkin's unique sound stems from: his uniquely heavy, driving basslines, combined with highly technical, and utterly out of this world sound effects; framed by smooth, sophisticated, and thrilling melodies. Deep emotions eminate from Elay's music as positive mental vibrations, filling the hearts of his listeners with joy and harmony. Elay's music places people into a state of high intensity dancing bliss, allowing them to attain equilibrium between serenity and euphoria; causing listeners to be happier and more energized than ever before.
