DJ AFROLEKTRA
Bio
Blending African traditional rhythms and sounds with today’s modern Electronic Dance Music (EDM), Ghanaian Music Producer & DJ AFROLEKTRA combines these two worlds distinctively to create a sound that has garnered mass appeal.
His choice of sound spans variations of African Music, both old and contemporary - from highlife to afrobeat and Afropop, blending these with various forms of Electronic Dance Music - house to new trap sounds and moombahton. Although he wears many hats which includes producing as well as engineering records for a plethora of artists (including African Duo R2BEES on the Billboard World Album charted SITE15), the core of AFROLEKTRA’s sound and identity is based on his own artiste project. His wild live DJ sets, and refreshing playlists full of bizarre remixes bring concert goers and festival enthusiasts utmost satisfaction.
His performances at major African festivals and venues including Afrofuture (Afrochella), Chale Wote Street Art Festival, IMullar Sound System, Outmosphere, Sabolai Radio Music Festival, Front/Back, Luna Rooftop’s “Deep in the City” and UPPFEST top a tall list of massive sets he’s put up in the capital city of Ghana, “Accra”.
DJ AFROLEKTRA is also credited massively on “SAME EARTH DIFFERENT WORLDS”, an album by R2BEES half Omar Sterling, producing 10 out of 20 songs including features from A-list artists Kwesi Arthur, Efya, Mugeez, M.anifest and R2Bees. He has also produced tracks from the highly rated “Back 2 Basics” album by R2Bees, including Sure Banker – rare fusion of native highlife with amapiano rhythms. He also boasts of credits with many other artists including Sarkodie, Camidoh, Stonebwoy, Rebecca Garton and ADO.
