ELF TRANZPORTER
(MC, ARTIST, PERFORMER, CULTURAL BUILDER)
Elf Tranzporter, an original member of one of Australia's early legendary underground hip hop acts, MetaBass'n'Breath, brings 'heart-core' lyricism and cypher-honed beatbox percussion to the stage and audiences all over Australia, as well as abroad.
Whether over drums created by some of Melbourne's finest producers or over beatbox rhythm beds, ET's MC'ing burns the divide between music to rock the dance floor and sonics aimed at consciousness raising and collective empowerment.
Creative instigator from hip hop's early Australian incarnation, Elf's current live set can span a wide spectrum of various formats.
Some recent crew-constellations involve Elf toasting with crews such as, Kahibaloo & Culture Connect, performing in duo with DJ TakaCo (aka: HeadChefSonik), collaborating as an off-shore member within the San Francisco based crew, Heavyweight Dub Champion, as well as touring as a member of the infamous Combat Wombat.
Over the years Elf Tranzporter has shared the stage with the following notable cast of performers: the legendary beat-poet, Allen Ginsberg (RIP) Grand Wizard Theodore, The Roots, Project Blowed, Zion I, Blackstar, Living Legends, Spearhead, Kid Lucky, Black Alicious, Ozomatli, Fat Boy Slim, The Invisible Scratch Pickles, Z-Trip, Jeru the Damaga, Run DMC, DJ Shadow, Lyrics Born, Jurassic 5, The John Butler Trio as well as Australian High Court Judge, Justice Michael Kirby.
Regularly conducting workshops in the Outback, Elf T. shares his skills, passion for music, tutoring disadvantaged & high-risk youth in primary schools, juvenile justice centres and community events with Indigenous as well as refugee communities throughout Australia.
Check out the Tranzporter's first solo LP, entitled 'Ethereal Lotus Fleet' (on Method thru Shock Records) featuring the vocal uplift skills of Maya Jupiter, Supina (MISO), Vida-Sunshyne and Pakistani singer, Rustam Baig along with production from DJ Wasabi, Custom, Count Bounce, Joelistics, Monkey Marc dub and dance hall vibe-master, Mista Savona.
Since the album's release back in Oct. '07, the work has been met with rave reviews and is beckoning the call for follow up actions on both stages and studios both here in Australia as well as internationally...
Sitars n Bleeps - Melbournes first Eastern Electro and Dub festival! This Saturday 17th October at First Floor, 393 Brunswick St, Fitzroy. 9 PM!!

Hi soulster, feel like vibing on some tracks? Check 'Spin Around Hop Around' and "Get Naked Naked', they were recorded a year ago using Cubase amateurishly at home. Vocals recorded through a SM58 mic. Backing beats made by me on Reason.
I enjoyed watching the 'Oh how we roll' vid on the net from the Garma festival, and am feeling you on 'Path Stretch"
