About

A hardtrance collective building euphoric soundscapes with a singer and driving beats.

4 Elements emerged from the German hardtrance scene with a potent blend of driving rhythms and emotive melodies. The group, initially known as [a2710297] and later as [a656848], coalesces around the vocal presence of Romy, supported by the DJ and production expertise of DJ Gollum, DJ Yanny, and D.K.Booth. Their sound is characterized by a powerful, irresistible hook—a hallmark of hardtrance that resonates strongly in club settings.

DJ Gollum’s career predates 4 Elements, beginning in 1994 at the Secret discotheque in Wedel, near Hamburg. He quickly gained traction, booking gigs at prominent clubs like Tunnel and Twilight. This early experience laid the foundation for his prolific production career, which includes tracks with artists like DJ Gary D (released on EDM) and Plastic Enemy. Before 4 Elements, Gollum was also involved in projects like DJ Yanny pres. Terraformer and Neo Cortex, showcasing his collaborative spirit within the electronic music community.

4 Elements’ 2007 EP, *I Want You to Hold Me*, solidified their presence in the hardtrance world, with the track “Turn up the bass” becoming a notable club hit. The group’s performances feature Romy as a frontwoman, complemented by dancers, while DJ Gollum, DJ Yanny, and D.K.Booth provide the driving force behind the music. Their sound prioritizes energy and impact, aiming for a direct connection with the dancefloor.

Currently, 4 Elements continues to deliver hardtrance anthems, maintaining a strong presence within the German electronic music scene.
