Reggaemixes on Firecorner site

Check these wicked mixes on the Firecorner website:
Adrian Crestani showcases the vocal talents of Errol “Flabba” Holt – better known as a bass player with the Roots Radics band and for being part of the Morwells but he cut some stunning vocals in his own right. Some heavy roots tunes! And as usual plenty of DJ, dub and next vocal cuts thrown in. This isn’t a complete discography but is a great overview of a fine singer who was overshadowed by his equally fine bass playing skills.

Latest News on Breda shows

Yep, Elephantsounds was gonna appear together with up and coming Dutch dancehall star Ziggi @ Mezz, Breda on Friday december 22, but unfortunately Ziggaman has cancelled all shows for the next month. Good news is we will still play, but in the Mezz bar instead. And the new date for the Ziggi show is Saturday january 27!. So if you're around, cum & listin' to our sound....

BOOYAKAH!

Phew, still recovering from last nights party inna Acu. It was a blast! Don't think we ever had this much people inside. Was it because of the "smartlappen" fest or are we still growing and going strong? Anyway, thanks to everyone that came out to party. Hopefully we'll see you next time.

Extra special thanks to Barka Moeri for his uplifting chants. We always love unpredicted appearances, especially when it's done this good. Very impressive! Hope to welcome you on stage some more in the future!

Also special thanks to Ricardo, who blew us away with some wicked toasting over vintage 70's dub selected by connaisseurs Smartin & Junior.

Big up your bad selfs!

Elephantsounds Last Saturday @ Wunderbaum, Alkmaar















Last Saturday Elephantsounds played the Wunderbaum squat in Alkmaar. Great party, nice people. Unfortunately one turntable didn't work, so Elephantsound played it oldskool style: Just one single turntable with MC, like back in the days....but everything turned out great, we even enjoyed this authentic setup and plan to do it more often like this. Coldsweat served some cutting edge dubstep together with his regular killer tunes, and Count Ozzie saved the day by chatting over tune changes. We were followed by skapunkpartypeople Iedereen zo Jotje! and local jungle specialists Utreg Massive. Also Big up To Maa-I-ke for moral support & beer!

Nov 4: Elephantsound @ Wunderbaum, Alkmaar

Elephantsounds ACU Last Weekend















Thanks to everybody showing up last saturday & big up to John Kayongo for joining us!

NEXT PARTY!



Due to touring obligatons elsewhere COUNT OZZIE is awol on the 21st, so this edition of ELEPHANT SOUNDSYSTEM will be hosted by only SMARTIN & COLD SWEAT. Luckily we found a very good third man as replacement in DJ KAYONGO, who some of you might know from his infamous NUBINITE events at Rasa. Apart from a deep knowledge of african music, this Kenyan born and bred dancer/selecter knows his way around reggae as well. But beware: this guy enjoys dancing to his music even more than you do, so don't be surprised if he jumps off stage to join you on the dancefloor after popping a big, heavy tune...You guessed it: Elephant Sounds will BOOM as ever!

see y'all!
