Welcome Elijah Minnelli
We are thrilled to welcome the indefinable dub innovator to the Pool roster.
Hailing from the mythical English town of Breadminster, Elijah Minnelli has been expanding the boundaries of dub through the prisms of folk, cumbia, reggae and cosmic reverberation.
A prolific producer, Minnelli has a unique dub-wise approach, fusing eastern & western folk influences with cumbia and earthy drones, culminating in his own distinct sonic world and his ever evolving lore. In the words of Test Pressing, Elijah's music could be described as “earthy, rootsy mutations on the reggae gene, owing as much to folk and Cumbia as it does to dub.” With a plethora of sought after self-released 7 inch records, singles for tastemakers ZamZam Sounds and Accidental Meetings, plus ‘Perpetual Musket’ an acclaimed 2024 album on esteemed label FatCat Records - Minnelli’s sound stands out by balancing its influences with a unique irreverence.
Critically, 'Clams as a Main Meal' garnered his most glowing reviews yet, with positive nods from The Guardian and The Quietus voting 'Canaan Land' (feat Dennis Bovel) in their top 5 tracks of 2025.
In a live context, the dub elements of Minnelli’s sound come to the fore. Stood behind his mixing desk, he strips back and rebuilds his usual blend of rickety, ragtag percussion and warmed-through subs. Layered with his trademark live vocals and folk melodies the end result is a set of wheezing melancholia that strives beyond pure sound system functionality. This unique set-up has seen him grace stages as varied as London’s Cafe OTO, Copenhagen’s Dubfabrikken, Belgium's Meakusma and Munich’s Circus Krone, and alongside artists such as Shackleton, The Notwist and Holy Tongue.
