Fulka is Ola Kobak, who with the help from a few friends creates soft, delicate, melodic, electronic folk music. The first track out is Misunderstood which is a beautiful, lo-fi track which features banjo, a touch of vintage synth and that awesomely synthesised drum sounds courtesy of Roland and the 80's. Look out for more tracks right here, but in the mean time grab Misunderstood below and check the artist page for more info! Fulka - Misunderstood Technorati Tags: Fulka , Misunderstood [...]

After a long hiatus the Red Bull Music Studio column on Electrotrash is back. To kick things off for the new year we present a video made for the workshop conducted with french electro-rocker Toxic Avenger when he came out last year to play at Assembly and the Alex. Toxic's link to SA comes from his remix of Playdoe and you'll see that Sibot and Spoek are quite prominent in this video. On that note we head over to Red Bull Music Academy Radio to take a look at another french maître de la [...]

The boys of Biscope add their own special touch to the track 'Rockit' by Sub Focus. In their own words it is a proper distorted wobble remix of arguably the biggest D&B tune of 2009. Grab the bass-heavy, bitchin', boot below! Sub Focus - Rockit (Biscope Boot) Technorati Tags: Biscope , Sub Focus , Rockit , Boot Tweet This Post

Tigerstrike - Xanax I have been promised some killer remixes in the not too distant future so stay tuned! ^5! Technorati Tags: Tigerstrike , Xanax [...]

Some of you may have heard that Johnny Foreigner will be touring South Africa this year. While this UK indie rock band may be pretty far removed from electronic music we still though it would be rad to promote it a bit here.

They have put together a promo sampler for you to download, along with album art that you can print out to make a complete package! Grab it below! [...]
Will Mono sent us his latest track featuring Jan Joknie. It's a groovy piece of Afrikaans electro pop that I guess you will find either really catchy or really monotonous. The download will only be available for the next ten days just as a promotional piece so grab it while you can!

The Sound is a remixer, producer and DJ from Cape Town who has been remixed the likes of kidofdoom and Haezer and worked along side other 021 artists, such as CoDeC. With a possible EP to be released in 2010 and more remixes to follow The Sound is definitely one to watch. Access Violation is an instrumental track which features heavy distortion along side sweeping synths. It is never overpowering or 'too heavy', but instead is great to listen to and it might even get a few bodies moving! The Sound - Access [...]
CoDeC sent us a new track the other day... This holiday season makes me slow to get the tracks up but here it is... Mad Scientist.

Lapse and IAmWaves, better known as Popskarr are back again with their new single S.P.I.L.L.S. and it's yours for the taking, free and legal! In their own words: It's a track tinged with 90's Rave/Disco/Kwaito (RSA's native Dance music) and Electro! and they ain't kidding. Stabby keys really bring that rave feel home, while the vocals are drawn out and dark. Loving it! Popskarr - S.P.I.L.L.S. Also don't forget that their remix competition for the track Tonight ends in 6 [...]

OORLOG FRANKENSTEIN are Francois van Coke and Peach van Pletzen aka Yesterday's Pupil. This video is for the Haezer remix of their tack Dans Dans Dans.
