Element (stylized as ELEMENT) is a Norwegian record production and songwriting team, consisting of Hitesh Ceon and Kim Ofstad. Some of the latest productions of the team include two songs for U.K. X-Factor-winner Alexandra Burke, "Dangerous" and "Bury Me (6 Feet Under)", as well as Michael Jackson's "I Want You Back"(ELEMENT Remix),[1] and a remix of Michael Jackson's "Skywriter"(Stargate Remix) which they produced together with Stargate.[2][3]
Element has produced the song "Yes" for Musiq Soulchild, the second official single from Musiq's album MusiqInTheMagiq, as well as two other songs on the album, "Lovecontract" and "Clumsylove".[4]
Element has produced the song "It's Ok" for Cee Lo Green. The song is the second official single from Cee-Lo Green's album "The Lady Killer" and is written by Hitesh Ceon, Kim Ofstad, Cee Lo Green and Noel Fisher.[5][6]
Element has produced and co-written the song "Glow" for Madcon. An 7:30 minute long version of the song was performed in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2010, during the interval before the voting. While the song was playing many flash-mobs around Europe were dancing a choreographed dance to the song and Madcon performed in the Telenor Arena where the contest was held.[7] The song was released on iTunes the same day, and has reached Nr.1 in Norway and Germany, Nr. 2 in Spain and top 10 in 10 other countries. It has sold 10 times platinum in Norway and over 300.000 copies in Germany.[8][9]
Element was earlier known as 3Elementz, then a 3 member team, including bass-player Jonny Sjo. Their productions include Madcon's "Beggin'" which went to become 8x Platinum in Norway, before reaching top position on the hit lists in many European countries, and reaching number 2 position on the Billboard European chart.[10][11]
