Iconic independent music label Elefant Traks celebrates 25 years and bids farewell, featuring The Herd, Hermitude, Horrorshow, Urthboy, Nardean, Joelistics, Jane Tyrrell, The Last Kinection, Ozi Batla, Jimblah and more.
After the loss of three young friends in three months, Kenny Sabir felt a sense of urgency in life and enlisted a handful of friends to create a mixtape of original music for a friend leaving overseas. Inspired by the process, the activism they were involved in, and changes to music technology, they created another compilation, forming the label Elefant Traks in 1998.
