BIO
Afrotronix is an icon of Afrofuturism who continues to break barriers.
Fusing Chadian initiation rhythms and Sara, Gourane and Arabic vocal heritage with forward‑looking electronic production, he crafts a spiritual, pan‑African sound that bridges ancestral wisdom and the music of tomorrow in a Sonic Ritual Initiation. Known for his genre-defying super innovative soundscapes, this fearless band have performed at over 130 major festivals worldwide, including WOMAD, Afropunk, and JOVA Beach. Afrotronix has collaborated with luminaries like Baaba Maal, Youssou N’dour, Lorenzo Jovanotti, Stonebwoy, Mbongwana Stars, and Brian Kennedy (Rihanna, Chris Brown).
Leading this musical quest and proudly carrying the DOM—a helmet symbolizing a reimagined ancestral wisdom— is Caleb Rimtobaye, a talented Chadian artist and producer based in Montreal. 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.
Powered by Electronic Music, Afro Tech, Amapiano, and Afro House, his music is a sonic mosaic of Africa’s legendary artists.
KÖD is the new upcoming album to be released January 16th 2026, 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 time and space.
