Brief Experience :
Shane Pfannenstiel, a.k.a. Xelement has had music in his blood from the day he was born. Growing up in Colorado his whole life, Shane's initial musical development was stimulated by hip-hop, 80's, and hard rock. The electronic dance music scene then influenced Shane. He attended several club and all night events, where he became more familiar with the 'vibe' of the scene. With idols and inspirations such as Seb Fontaine and Judge Jules, Shane started his career as a DJ at the end of the 20th century. Shane worked hard to find that perfect sound to share with his listeners. He then landed his first gig with ColoradoRave.com at a 4:20 festival. Then he landed the top resident spot on the ColoradoRave.com roster. Soon after he started with ColoradoRave.com he started with his good friend and Promoter Ryan Dykstra. At that time, Ryan was running a well-known nightclub called Club Pure in Denver. Shane got the chance to meet and befriend several well-known talents, such as Kimball Collins, George Acosta, Guy Ornadel, and Jon Bishop, to name a few. After his hard work for Ryan, he finally got a residency at Club Pure and became a well-known opening act for some of the countries biggest DJ's/Producers. His big break came when he opened for George Acosta for about 1200 people; Xelements' name was then forever set in Colorado. After that Shane performed at such clubs as Traxx 2000, Club Matrixx, and several others. Eventually he gained respect as one of Colorado's best Trance DJ's and him self became a local headliner. Since then he has performed with such talent as Taylor, George Acosta, DRC, Disco-D, DJ Mea, DJ Brian, DJ Brad, Kimball Collins, Sandra Collins, Anne Savage, Nigel Richards, Viscous Vic, Mars and Mystre and many more. Shane also tag-teams with another one of Colorado's' best, DJ Ascension. Presently Shane is represented by Ryan Dykstra Nightlife, Stamina Productions, Subterranean and Twilight Productions, where he hopes to expand himself as a DJ.
