Afrotronix

BIO

Known for his genre-defying soundscapes that fuse Afro Tech, electric blues, Amapiano, Dubstep, and Future House, Afrotronix is an icon of Afrofuturism who continues to break barriers. This fearless band conquers afro pop as much as they dive into super triby mind-bending experimental pieces.

They’ve performed at over 130 major festivals worldwide, including WOMAD, Afropunk Paris, and JOVA Beach Party, and has collaborated with luminaries like Baaba Maal, Youssou N’dour, Mbongwana Stars, and Brian Kennedy (Rihanna, Chris Brown).

Afrotronix’s artistry has earned him 18 global accolades, including Best African DJ at the All Africa Music Awards (2018), Best African Electro Artist (2019), and Best Artist at the Hollywood & African Prestigious Awards (2022). But his real triumph is cultural: Afrotronix is one of Chad’s most internationally recognized musical exports, reshaping how the world hears Africa.

Leading this musical quest and proudly carrying the DOM—a helmet symbolizing a reimagined ancestral wisdom— is Caleb Rimtobaye, a talented Chadian guitarist and producer based in Montreal. His sound is new yet rooted in the familiar—an electrifying blast from a future born of ancestral greatness.

Electric guitar, pulsating live percussion, and cutting-edge digital art, his music is a sonic mosaic of Africa’s legendary artists. Saharan Electro, Afrotronix’s signature vibe, drops a bold, Afro-futuristic pulse into urban fashion, wild dance floors—bursting with energy, style, and unstoppable African algorithms.

Future Tribe is a bold new upcoming album that imagines an inclusive world rooted in shared memory, healing, and groove. Afrotronix calls it “a dance of intersecting horizons and futures to be created together.” It’s music that dares to dream—and dance—beyond borders.

It is very rare to make a music discovery

There is a sameness that is invading the music landscape. So when you come upon someone who is doing something really different there is a real genuine exhilaration, in feeling like you have discovered something in music that really isn’t happening anywhere else.

This is Afrotronix.
