Electrotrash is back. Sort of.
It’s been a while. Thirteen years, to be precise.
The last post on Electrotrash went up in 2013. Since then, the site has slowly fallen apart. Links have died, music has disappeared, and the old WordPress installation has become more trouble than it’s worth.

CTEMF 2013 - CAPE TOWN ELECTRONIC MUSIC FESTIVAL 12 - 17 February 2013
“The Cape Town Electronic Music Festival was a defining moment for the local electronic music scene, now clearly marked on the international map but more importantly in the hearts and minds of its South African followers.” – Whatsonincapetown.co.za, April 2012
March 2012 saw a selection of Cape Town’s electronic music scene come together in …

Genres are a necessary evil. The good ones help us organise music, so that if we want music with a particular kind of rhythm and melody we need only to look at artists in that genre to find something we probably will like. Think Funk, Reggae, Hip Hop, etc. The bad ones however …HAEZER - Warfare (feat. Label)
HAEZER dropped this banger off just to remind you that he is still around and making some insane beats!

^5!Red Bull Studios Cape Town, Electric Roundup: Oltak
One of the great things about the Red Bull Studio is that is has an open door policy. Everyday all sorts of creative types, mostly musical, wander in and out. Sometimes we know who they are and other times we’re pleasantly introduced to someone new to the scene.
I know …Jacob Israel's This Too Will Pass now available at Rythm Music Store
For those of you who haven’t been able to get your hands on one of the limited-run, physical copies This Too Will Pass is now available for purchase online at RythmMusicStore.com. Tracks are R7.00 each or R84.00 for the whole album, which is a pretty good deal in my books. …Music Video: Gazelle feat. Weez - Just Now
If you were in Pretoria this Saturday passed and you didn’t go to Tings ’n Times you missed an epic show. Gazelle really put on an awesome live show that draw in the crowd and gets them dancing. The video for Just Now was shot on location in Switzerland at Art Basel …
Rise Up with Don Diablo & Sidney Sampson
Our regular readers may have noticed that things have been slow of late. This is not due to a lack of content, we’ve actually got a bit of a backlog going on here at ET HQ, but the real world is keeping us much busier than foreseen. No matter, after some reshuffling and …Red Bull Studios Cape Town, Electric Roundup: Popskarr feat. Gazelle
Both Popskarr and Gazelle are no strangers to Electrotrash. They are rather regular features, definitely two of the most prolific flag-raisers for local Electro. And certainly Gazelle is no stranger to the Red Bull Music Studios often popping in to collaborate with various …Hipless Couples aren't an 808 after all!
We’ve been having quite the busy time IRL, which has led to a slight neglect of our inbox. This track is one of those that got lost amongst our starred and labelled mails (thanks gmail!). I’m not an 8080 after all or just INA808AA for short is reminiscent of acid …New Artist: Ricoshay
Gary from GaZo has started a new project with Mark Norrie from Durban rock band Driverlane. Together the two produce electro/rock with elements of electronica, house, ska and reggae. Already busy with their debut album, the two have decided to give us a taste of things to come …I'd Fulka
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 …
