A warm welcome to James Elphick, aka Mys-Elf, art director and organiser of London's heady Guerilla Zoo events, and sonic conjurer behind the sixth instalment of Spannered's Oddcast series.

 

Entitled A Room With a View, Oddcast #6 slides, drifts, hops and chops between sublime electronica, infectious folk-rock, Latin rhythms, crackly cinematic samples and queasy instrumental hip hop; we've had it on heavy rotation since he sent it in to us (we particularly recommend it for long train journeys across the UK, accompanied by a four pack of Guinness). If you're feeling the boy's style, we recommend you head on over to his MurdochSpace page and check out his tunes too.

 

Guerrilla Zoo is a London-based art/music/performance collective, featuring a slew of cool bands, live artists and performance acts from around the capital. For more info on forthcoming events and other mischief they're getting up to, check the site here.
