Elephant Ballet

About Me

Music to piss off the one's you love...

Elephant Ballet has been manufacturing music that rocks since 2005.

Elephant Ballet is just one dude. You can count that on your fingers if you need to. The one dude is Philly, a very dysfunctional, terrified, bitter, yet likable kind of guy with some severe issues.

Philly has enjoyed much success in life, especially with music. He has learned that he could have everything, and still not be proud of what he does, who he is, or what he had so-called achieved. Elephant Ballet is something that he believes in for a change.

Lose an album? Make a new mix!

So, my computer got a nasty virus, thanks to small minded people who think that destroying other people's computers is a joyous thing to do...I tried to save all my information and software, and actua...

So let me see if I got this straight...

Elephant Ballet is not "homogenized"...

2005 saw the death of Junkyphunk and the rise of Elephant Ballet. People who were long term Junkyphunk fans were like "WTF?!?!", but then soon understood that the circumstances were something beyond m...
