Various Artists

The Modern Electronic Element series has been an exposition undertaken by Nation designed to show different aspects within Jakbeat, and was inaugurated back in 2008 with a 12? featuring the Chicago label’s core crew of Traxx, JTC, D’Marc Cantu, and Beau Wanzer.

The second edition, issued in 2011, saw Nation open the series to some like-minded artists with contributions from Jamal Moss as I.B.M., Steve Summers, Baris K, Mick Wills, and Tevo
Howard.

The evolution of the Modern Electronic Element Series enters the third phase. Consisting of 25 musical compositions spread over seven records the 3rd edition of the Electronic Element Series is featuring a swathe of compelling artists and projects.
Charles Manier, Elec Pt.1, Gavin Russom, D’Marc Cantu, Darrin Huss of Psyche, Specter, Beau Wanzer/Corporate Park, NGLY, and JTC are amongst the contributors along with some names less familiar like Dieter Flegel of Transformation, Sighe Bythos, Ariisk, SSPS,
Altered Form and Ja Ja. Reminiscent of the classic Chicago sound, Cosmic Experimental Avantgarde and Contemporary Machine Driven Electronic Music amongst many other so-called genres and
styles, this boxset maintains the spirit of simple synths and prototypical rhythms manifested from the early age of electronic dance
