Galactic saxophonist Ben Ellman has long dabbled in musical forms outside of that group's trademark steamroller funk sound. He's been a long time member of New Orleans Klezmer Allstars and was a driving force behind the G-Men's 2007 album "From The Corner To The Block" which included a cavalcade of hip-hop stars collaborating with the band. He's combining those last two influences with his DJ Project, Gypsyphonic Disko. He performed at last summer's Bonnaroo Fest and on the latest Jam Cruise. Now he has a recording out, available on his blog, http://gypsyphonicdisko.blogspot.com/,
Ellman calls his first mixtape, "A mash of New Orleans bounce, klezmer, hip hop, and Balkan music. It's hosted by Chali2na (J5) and features exclusive recordings by: Sissy Nobby, Juvenile, Gift of Gab, Katey Red, Lateef the Truthspeaker and Big Freedia."
