Edit history

The Village Elephant is Brisbane-based electronic musician David McIlveen. He writes music to be performed and enjoyed live, combining the chillout sounds of Balearic house with the sampled eclecticism of trip hop and electronica. His first release was on floppy disk, but he's since gone on to play a number of venues around town (incl. the Round and Round festival in 2010), and has been a featured artist on Triple J Unearthed, getting repeat radio play with his track 'Yours'. in 2013 The Village Elephant released new music inspired by the non-profit record label Smithsonian Folkways, a vast catalogue of traditional, folk and archival music made available online. Influences include: the chemical brothers, lemon jelly, thievery corporation, cantoma, bent, smith & mudd, groove armada, fatboy slim, balearic house, world/folk music.
