For The Culture – 13th Street Promotions

O’neil Bryan, more popularly known as Elephant Man, has enjoyed much success in his 20+ years as a Dancehall Artist. Having a great track record, he was exalted to god levels hence his title as the “Energy God“. Today we look at another title that I’m sure many would bestow upon him, and that is the “King of the Refix“! With his unique ability to remix a hit song from any genre, Ele gave us that feel good music and an abundance of dance tunes. In our biggest Blog Post yet, see why Ele may just be the “Refix King” below!

(Elephant Man tracks and originals are linked to Apple Music in the titles.)

1. Father Elephant (Remix of the Children Gospel song, “Father Abraham“)

2. Sesame Street (Remix of the Theme Song for the “Sesame Street” TV Series)

3. Bun Bad Mind (Remix of Marvia Providence’s “Hear My Cry Oh Lord“)

4. It Sweet Me (Remix of The Shirelles’ “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow“)

5. War On (Remix of Missy Elliott’s “Get Your Freak On“)

The gates opened at 7:30 Pm and the DJ for the night Yaadcore kept the early patrons entertained on the turntables, and DJ Jimmy Q of NewsTalk 93 FM handled hosting duties. By 9 Pm, the venue was almost full and the show kicked off with the opening act Sevana. Featuring cuts off her Sevana EP and even debuting a new song and a remix to Protoje’s “Love Gone Cold” (she was featured on the original), she had the audience mesmerized as she belted out tune after tune. I still refused to believe she did all that on a sore throat (Editor’s Note: She’s my Hero!!). By the time ZJ Sparks gave Protoje & The Indiggnation the greatest introduction ever, the venue was packed with patrons who were eager to sing and dance along with them.
