Elemental is a Croatian hip-hop band, founded in 1998. It consisted of three MCs. Today things are different. Two MCs are spittin' lyrics: Shot and Remi, and 5 instrumentalists have been brought in.
In 2000, Elemental published their debut album "Moj, NJegov i Njen Svijet/My, His and Her World" with the help of an indie label from Zagreb - KondorComm.
Soon after their first album came out, they managed to gather a band together and so often performed without a DJ. Rest of the crew are: Erol Zejnilović (guitar), Ivan Vodopijec (drums), Konrad Lovrenčić (bass), Davor Zanoški (keyboards) i Natasha Tonkovic (backing vocal). Second album "Tempo velegrada/Demiurg" came out in 2002, and the group collaborated with eminent Croatian performers such as Tram11, One II Many, Bizzo (Bolesna Braća), Špica.
Their third album was released in 2004. -"Male Stvari/Little Things" is allegedly the first Croatian sample-free hip-hop album and ever since it came out, Elemental became known to a larger public.
Six singles were taken and they had huge success: 'Napokon', 'Romantika', 'Tako Lijepa', 'Sama', 'Iz Dana U Dan' and 'Male Stvari'.
4th album was out on 07/02/2008 - "Pod pritiskom/ Under pressure". The first single 'Zašto te imam' has been banned on many radio and TV stations because of its explicit, politically inspired, content. However, it was a hit on YouTube with more than 50 000 views.
At the moment, Elemental are touring all over Balkan and filming their new video for the song 'Pod Pritiskom'.
They've recently released their 5th album named Vertigo.

North London based producer Elemental started dabbling with production in 1994 with a Roland D5 and Atari ST at school. He later invested in an Akai S2000 sampler and a PC, the rest as they say, is history.
In the nineties he Predominantly focused on DnB and experimental Electronic music. At 18 he put out his first DnB release off his own back. A few years later, he became one half of breakbeat garage duo ‘Elemental + 3D’, releasing on their own label Runtime Recordings in 2002. A couple of years later after some time abroad, he caught the likes of Search & Destroy on Rinse FM and found the sound he had been looking for – dark, heavy syncopated beats and bass.
Since finding Dubstep, Elemental has been focused on bringing his unique sound to the masses, undeniably hard yet dubbed out, dirty bass and hypnotizing rhythms. He has had many releases from Destructive, Hotflush, Pitch Black and Halo Beats, and more recently, his seminal track Soulfire featured on Tayo’s Fabric mix CD. His live sets (so rare in the world of dubstep) are nothing short of astounding, deep, textured and considered; a fluid block of sound with spooky old Photek overtones, with interlocking rhythms and surging dark subs.
4) D&B/autonomic producer from Bristol / London, Britain (UK). Signed to Runtime Records.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mozda nam se dig'o zanos, al' standard nam se ne dize
Dani ponosa i slave i minusa na tekucem
Mi ne zivimo, mi prezivljavamo
Sta ostavljamo nasem buducem narastaju
Dugove, racune, rate kredita nas guse
A nemamo ni kune
Kombiniramo kako odgodit' placanje, bar za desetak dana
Di smo sad, stara stednja se otopila
Osla na ono bitno, pojela se i popila
Bez svega smo ostali, prenaglo nas je pogodilo
Ko uopce zna sto se to prek' noci dogodilo
Koga da pitam, brate
Ko ce mi dat' odgovore
Reci bilo sta osim
Da je moglo biti gore
Sve te tisuce, hiljadarke, konjanici i rudari
Stavljali davno na stranu, za neki san da se ostvari
Nestali u brojkama, brojke ko snijeg okopnile
Dok mi smo prezivljavali, zivotne stvari poskupile
I di smo sad
Napokon mirni, napokon slobodni, napokon u svojoj drzavi
Al' sad smo siromasni
Dali smo svoje snove za ovu zemlju i nije nam zao
Al' usput se nasao domoljub veci od nas
Pa pokrao sav visak
Radili, al' nisu nas cijenili
Mjesecima cekali da plate trud sto smo ulozili
Di smo sad, opet sve ispocetka
Za kol'ko nisko idemo, od ponedeljka do petka
Kol'ko danas vrijedi nas rad
Imali smo, sad nemamo, di smo sad?
Samo zivimo iz dana u dan
I svaki san davno nestao je izbrisan
Koga da pitam, brate
Ko ce mi dat' odgovore
Reci bilo sta osim da je moglo biti gore
I di smo sad?
Jos cekamo bolje sutra
Mozda naivno se nadamo istim stvarima
Dok iznutra cijeli sistem zakazuje
Nema pravde da nas stiti
Nema postene vlasti, sve sami konvertiti
Obecanja su jeftina a zivot je tako skup
Pa su uzor kriminalci, sta ces, nije narod glup
Hoce standard, hoce lovu, hoce zivit', hoce sve
A to cekaju i cekaju, i cekaju i popizde
Jer nema smisla, rezije su visoke
Minus je preduboko
Sve to traje predugo, narod puk'o
Jedni kukaju sto jucer bilo bolje neg' danas
Drugi divljaju, galame dok ih puca nacionalni zanos
I pitam te, pitam te di smo sad
Dalje radimo na crno ispod cijene, al' do kad
Ko ce vratit' dostojanstvo, ko ce platit' punu cijenu
Dat' nam tol'ko kol'ko vrijedimo
Da stvari jednom krenu
Vise gubimo strpljenje, samo brojimo probleme
Sve sto imali smo nemamo, i tesko nam je breme
Pa na kraju svatko zapita se
Kolko nisko spao sam
Pa kako onda ostat' ponosan
Samo zivimo iz dana u dan
I svaki san davno nestao je izbrisan
Koga da pitam, brate
Ko ce mi dat' odgovore
Reci bilo sta osim da je moglo biti gore
I reci mi da smo mogli promijeniti svijet
(reci mi, molim te)
I da ce djeca sto dolaze imat' nasljedje za ponijet'
I reci mi da nismo sve dobro unistili
I da cu moci
Mirno spavati.. od savjesti
Reci mi da mozemo izgraditi, da nije prekasno
I ako zakazem daj mi snage, stvorit' nesto prekrasno
I vec sutra volio bih otvorit' oci, pa da budem zahvalan
Al' ne mogu pa stisnem zube, i hodam iz dana u dan
The lyrics of Elemental's song "Iz Dana u Dan" portray the struggle of everyday life and the constant search for answers to solve problems that seem insurmountable. The lyrics express the frustration and despair of the singer who is desperate to find a way out of his dire situation. While the song is rich in imagery and metaphors, it speaks to the poignant reality of how much life can be a daily struggle. The song expresses the frustration that many people can feel from lack of opportunity, and the hopelessness that can come from continual struggle.
The lyrics also address economic inequality and social injustice, specifically bidding the rising cost of living and the stalling wages. It speaks to the gap between those in power and the common people who are affected by their decisions. It is a truthful narrative of the reality of poverty and a lack of fundamental human rights. While the song does not offer any clear solutions to the problems presented, it is a poignant portrayal of a struggle that millions of people go through every day.
