African Electronica

Hey, just thought some people might want to check out some
south african electronica. The electro scene is really
startin to flourish down here, with lotsa parties poppin up
in cape town, anyway...check out 'Felix Laband', he's pretty
cool, mix of ambient/electro/triphop...quite cool.

You can download a track here from his label website:

http://www.africandope.co.za/mp3/felix/44_down_the_stairs/s
leepwalking.mp3

or check out www.africandope.co.za

Or if you have some cool mp3 downloadin proggy try to get
some from his '4/4 down the stairs' album. ('underwater
puddles' --> cool little ambienty track.)

i'd like to hear some more african electronica. seems
original, unlike most topics on here which are either about
autechre, autechre sucking, confield sucking, confield being
genius, or how crappy this board has gotten.

i'd like to add to this topic if for no reason other than to
support a topic other than the type zaphod refers to. i
start many topics about unexposed music/art that this board
might like and after about 2 replies it gets buried by the
usual repeat discussions.

that happens very often on this board, and its a shame
because there are people on here who are actually interested
in a variety of music and like finding out about new
artists. that was why i joined this board, but its gone
downhill in that sense.

anyway, to NOT detract from this topic, does anyone else
have african electronica, as it would seem that with more
tribal rhythms and such it would be quite good.

yes, got to love those african rhythms. there is an african
music show on a local radio station that i catch from time
to time. a lot of it is dance oriented electronic music,
but not cheezy uninnovative crap. i've been meaning to
listen to it more so i can catch some of the good artists
and do my research. i'll let yall know if i find any
goods.

i'll check that out fly.

Zaphod, you complain about topics about how the board sucks,
and yet you just complained right there...

I'm sorry if you really thought my post on why I think
Autechre isn't amazing, or as you seem to think, why I think
autechre sucks, was offensive.

I'll check out that african electro when I get the chance,
i'm very interested! once this cd is done being listened to.

It was the garden of musical birth and it's the graveyard of
the future of music.

back. now THAT is a tune that you need to blast thru a pa.
just like autechre's 'eutow'

man why do you advertise your music as "african electronica"
?

it's not my music. it is electronica made in Africa, more
specifically South Africa. So why not label it as such?

...

Old topic :)

Check out Felix's latest offering: "Dark days exit". It's
quite pleasant, nothing groundbreaking, just good melodies
with blips and beats. It has plenty of character. I think it
may have had an international release.

because the difference of meanings between "african
electronica" and "south african electronica" is huge.

i quite like dark days exit. tho one tunes different on the
vinyl and cd versions. cant remember which, but the vinyl
version of the tune stinks -in comparison to the cd version.
i hope it gets a vinyl release :-/

I think siqnature are from kenya, pretty cool stuff, sort of
disorienting and hypnotic and whatnot. Here is a
free music called "toque" and i am endorsing it for your
EARS

why are you turning a lovely little topic about music into a
semantic issue? you may assign any old meaning which suits
you best.

this toque sounds okay. a bit repetitive.
