Lefse recording artist Houses take on Elephant & Castle's "Grey Area." Now there isn't much information on the recluse Elephant & Castle, but what we do know is that Houses' take is a throbbing ethereal experience. It pulsates and it beats and is quite epic. If anything Lefse artists absolutely have an affinity for the [...]

Houses has recently completed a remix of 'Grey Area' by Elephant & Castle . 'Grey Area' (Houses Remix) More at lefserecords.com .
Three things: 01) The artist Elephant & Castle-before researching and finding out the truth-is named after a stop and intersection in south London where ten years ago we got into a mess of a time at a warehouse-y rave involving a few louts and drugs and all sorts of stupid stuff, 02) Houses did this [...]

We usually don’t announce shows that are happening over the weekend (we leave that duty for fellow blogger, Epicsauce), but there are a lot of things we are excited about.

Man does not (or at least, need not) live by rock and roll alone. Below are selections from three rising local electronic artists with recent or upcoming releases. What's more, all three have shows in the Bay during October. Analogue EP by Elephant and Castle The Analogue EP is the first release from Oakland's Elephant and Castle , who celebrates the EP's release at the Totally Intense Fractal Mind Gaze Hut on October [...]

Presenting the unexpected/awesome one-off pairing of White Hinterland + Elephant and Castle , as their paths magically converge upon Oakland’s Totally Intense Fractal Mind Gaze Hut on October 3rd. We can’t say enough about our love for the transcendent White Hinterland and their warm, hazy dream pop continues to soundtrack our (seemingly) endless summer. Also we have Elephant and Castle's EP release party for Analogue, a modern-day levelheaded display of dreamscape and ambient music, put together in an artful manner that is both enjoyable and admirable.

Elephant and Castle is an engineer/producer from Oakland who sent over Analogue , his debut EP on Third Culture Records . He produces his music in a very Books -esque fashion, by combining live instrumentation with vinyl samples and field recordings. I love how he barely keeps you on the brink of feeling too bombarded by the myriads of soundscapes and samples. I can only imagine the time it took to collect and compose all the songs on the EP. Any fans of The Books [...]

David Reep, the nom de beat, of one-man pachyderm Elephant & Castle , knows his way behind a good name-drop. Granted, he probably didn't write his bio, but any one-sheet that references Flying Lotus and Free the Robots, Madlib, Carl Craig, and Derrick May, will get at least a half listen. The same bio also claims he tries to find a balance between "cheese and soul," which intimates that he tries to make his music sound like Waffle House grits. Fine by me. You can guess the rest: he's a crate-digger obsessed with analogue, a sound engineer [...]

Elephant and Castle is a kaleidoscope of sound; twisting and grooving to create music all it’s own. Based out of Oakland, California, it is the project of musician/sound engineer David Reep. Starting with a love of old vinyl and the endless digging through old thrift stores, Elephant and Castle was formed with the idea of making modern music out of mostly vintage material. Similar to new bands such as Flying Lotus, The Samps, Free the Robots and drawing from the legends such as Madlib, Juan Atkins, and Derrick May, Elephant and Castle attempts to bridge the gap between cheese and [...]
