Afrotronix is a universe, a vision that points to Afrofuturism. Electronic music mastering a strong African soul. African fashion, African urban dance performances and digital art.
Afrotronix's electro Saharan blues driven by Chadian guitarist Caleb Rimtobaye. The Montreal-based producer formed Afrotronix in 2014 as a concept encompassing an afro futuristic approach of electronic music production. Heir and builder of a long musical tradition, Afrotronix's Saharan electro blues brings the musical tradition of Chad back to the fore.
By actively instructing AI and its digital systems in the language of our African ancestors, Afrotronix imparts the wisdom of old onto new technologies. With a forward-thinking perspective on rhythm and percussion, they lead us on an extraordinary musical voyage into the profound and sacred African traditions and patterns. In doing so, they intertwine ancient codes and algorithms with futuristic concepts, creating a magnificent fusion of past and present.
Afrotronix has won several international prizes including best artist at the Hollywood and African Prestigious Awards (2022), best African electro (2019) and best African DJ (2018) at the All Africa Music Awards.
His unique sound is a new wave in the Afrobeats or Amapiano tinged with Chadian saï, Senegalese mbalax, Haitian compas, West African Mandingo roots and electric Touareg blues, transported on a juggernaut loaded with deep house, dubstep and techno grooves.
His collaborations are broad and include success with international artists like Baaba Maal, Youssou N’dour, Salatiel, Lorenzo Jovanotti and Mbongwana star Brian Kennedy (Rihanna, Chris Brown). His next album Future Tribe dives into electro Saharan blues showcasing an avant garde image of Africa and Canada. Recognized for these daring musical mixtures and wearing the DOM, the helmet, symbol of an updated ancestral knowledge, Afrotronix is the first Chadian personality to experience international success, becoming at the same time a leading figure in Chadian culture.
