PRESSURE BEAT INTERVIEWS ANDY BASSFORD

It's no secret that Elephant Sounds member ColdSweat has a thing for the productions coming out of the studios of the man Joe Gibbs. He even set up a website dedicated to the output and tries to chase down the story behind the music. His latest interview is with a Yankee named Andy Bassford, who played on many early dancehall tunes like the Wailing Souls classic "Fire House Rock", Michael Prophet's "Gunman" and Cornell Campbell's "Boxing".

Check out what the man had to say: http://pressurebeat.blogspot.com/2013/05/cornell-campbell-boxing-around.html

About Elephant Sounds

U-Town's finest soundsystem consists of three friends who found each other through the power of reggae music in 2004. When Junior Ozzie, a punk/harcore youth with a vibrant love for deep reggae music, was asked to host a cocktailparty, he did not hesitate and invited his fellow rude boy Smartin to join him. The night itself was greatly appreciated by many and a second edition was setup: A regular reggae night was born. Both Smartin and Junior we're residing in a house called "the Elephant" and so they had no difficulties finding the newly born sound a proper name: Elephant Soundsystem. A third member was found in Cold Sweat, a local reggae afficionado with a thing for 45's and Joe Gibbs productions. Soon after, the Elephants hosted a string of sold out shows and toured the Netherlands.The trio is also hosting a bi-weekly show on http://www.reggaespace.com on which they showcase their deep love for anything reggae in lively 2 hour shows.
