BEYOND THE SKY
Featuring STONEBWOY
An Afrofuturistic take on reggae dub meeting Mbalax.
Stonebwoy enters highly experimental and spiritual land invited by Afrotronix musical mastery, allowing both to extend the reggae dub genre thanks to afro tech and afro electro elements.
Beyond the Sky is an African reggae dub track that incorporates Mbalax and invites introspective dance through an Afrofuturist dub soundscape. The theme is a call to meditation on the concept of tribe, revisited and explored. It delves into the quest for reality within simulated realities, the value of our efforts in combat, how to assert our lives, and the choices we make in our struggles and their meaning. All of this is underpinned by a riddim that refuses to fade into the background despite deconstructed, glitchy passages.
Afrotronix being the first Chadian Electro band is pushing the musical innovation in popular genres by introducing global audience to the most ancient Sahelian rhythms.
Stonebwoy, Ghana’s most decorated dancehall/Afrobeats architect, bridge Caribbean bass to African soul.
Meet the futur of African reggae dub.
HIMINI
KÖD
An Afrofuturistic take on Kidi Gourane.
From upcoming album KÖD, here is Himini, a Gourane adventure in Northern Chad powered by Electronique machinery.
Sung by the Gourane women of northern Chad to encourage the soldiers, who never retreat despite the fire. It was initially written for one of the first Toubou rebels. Himini means never back down.
Through the vocoder, I’ve created what I call “the voice of an African robot” — textures and words the world has never encountered. For the first time, a robot speaks Sara and Goulay.
By defining tribal electronic music, Afrotronix positions himself as an avant-garde artist on the continent. His approach, in which he manages to teach machines the languages and codes of the ancients, allows him not simply to use samples but to bend digital structures so that they truly capture the specificity of these original rhythms. This song is the proof that the most futuristic sound is also the oldest.
GOURNA KÖD
KÖD
An Afrofuturistic take on Chadian Gourna.
This is a first. The Massa people – nicknamed "banana" – have been considered primitive, even in Chad, their own country. Yet, they stand proudly as the guardians of ancestral traditions. They are the tribe that has resisted the homogenizing wave of globalization like no other. A cultural heritage recognized in December 2025 by UNESCO, of which they are now a part.
The Gourna is the pulse of Massa warriors, and i wanted to transform it into a revolution for modern music.
This track is a tribute to the guardians of tradition – a resounding thank you, a profound respect for those who keep the flame alive. This track is an opportunity to highlight this tribe, to make their ancestral rhythm the emblematic music of the sub-region.
By infusing an ancient tradition with electronic elements, I breathe new life into a timeless heritage – this track is poised to sweep across the Chadian music scene and the sub-region, as a similar rhythm also resonates in Cameroon.
SOUDANI GIRL
Featuring EMAN ALSHAREEF
An Afrofuturistic take on Sudanese Darfuri rhythm.
SOUDANI GIRL is a track crafted to revitalize and expand the horizons of Sudanese Darfuri rhythm and dance music. The challenge was to achieve this while carefully preserving its soul, rhythmic foundation, language, and theme, drawing inspiration from a reinterpretation of Eman Alshareef work.
I take immense pride in having pioneered a path for Darfuri music within an Afro electro-tech aesthetic, effectively building a bridge from the traditional sounds of Souk Kabir market to the pulsating energy of Ibiza nightclubs (or similar global venues).
MALEMBÉ
SONO IN TERAPIA
Featuring HENDRY MASSAMBA
An Afrofuturistic take on Soukouss.
Taking popular African rhythms, here soukous which has been the most popular rhythm on the African continent since independence and which has evolved a lot, with Kofi and Fally and now propose this new take.
Artistically it is a challenge, a new impetus for the future of soukous.
MAACHI WÉNE
Featuring NISSA SEYCH
Maachi Wene, arabic for where I am going ? Featuring Nissa Seych, a song for the wanderer who discovers they’ve become a stranger in their own story and chooses to rewrite it elsewhere.
UNTOLD STORIES
Featuring Djely Tapa
An Afrofuturistic take on a crossover from Madingue Rhythm and Toubou.
The song is an extension of a long-standing collaboration with well-known Malian griotte Djely Tapa. I brought her the Toubou rhythm, to find out it is also a Mandingue rhythm! Mini accents reflect their diversity and variations, but the same exact structure.
UNTOLD STORIES at the rhythmic level is the meeting of two twin rhythms, and their evolution in two tribes separated by geography but united by pulse. This particular rhythm is also present in southern Morocco and Tunisia. When Toubou people hear this track, they’ll instantly recognize their ancestral beat - then get hit with the thrilling surprise of Djely Tapa’s Mandingue voice floating perfectly over it, like it was always meant to be there. It is an invitation to explore how Mandingue culture is extended to Chad.
The storytelling is inspired by a precious moment with my children, hungry for tales that have never been captured, never recorded. This untold stories will be part of the treasures of the future because what will be rare, will be the stories never told, never spoken. This is us catching them before they’re gone.
KAG DESS
KÖD
An Afrofuturistic take on Chadian Nganja.
Nganja is a sacred rhythm from the initiation ceremonies of southern Chad. Access to this rhythm is restricted, it carries power that not everyone is prepared to wield. During initiation, Nganja functions as a catalyst, awakening dormant abilities within the initiate: the power to command natural elements, to stop wind, to suspend rain.
Nganja is the sound of ultimate accountability.
With the blessings of traditional initiates, Afrotronix has carried Nganja into the electronic realm.“Kag Dess” is a sonic reminder of our full authority over ourselves, over our circumstances, over the forces that seek to contain us. This is initiation as sound. This is power, electrified.
I TEL IRÉ
Featuring MAGSO
An Afrofuturistic take on Haitian Konpa.
A tender confession to the complice woman who walks in daylight and yet cannot uproot the tree of a love planted deeper than memory. Haitian Konpa reinvented make this electronic piece a real innovation in its genre.
