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.
But the music, the artists and the stories are still worth keeping.

The first word that comes to mind upon listening to this too will pass, the latest release from Jacob Israel, is epic. The whole album can be described as a story told through the use synthesised sounds and butchered beats. Jacob Israel has mastered the art of lulling one into a …Download Round Up
So it seems the Hype Machine has missed a number of downloads due to the fact that they weren’t on the main page but in the article… So I thought I’d just have a quick post featuring the downloads that the Hype Machine missed. Bad Hype Machine! Bad. The first …Red Bull Studios Cape Town, Electric Roundup: Zim Dollar Bill
With Mujava taking the dance world by storm last year, there is a peeked interest in local SA dance-floor electronica. Lots of things are happening for local electro producers. In fact you should read this piece already written by Ol Dirty Man, about Gazelle’s Bloody Beetroot …Lapse (re)visits Planet Rock
Lapse is back and this time he has taken the classic track Planet Rock and chopped it into little bits, keeping only a few choice pieces and sticking it all back together again with a few of his own synths and drums thrown in for good measure. Lapse takes the electro (in the …Album Review: Mix n Blend - Look mom, no hands
Reading the press release that accompanied our copy of “Look mom, no hands” I couldn’t help but think, maybe I’ll just copy and paste the whole thing and upload two tracks from the album for your downloading pleasure. If the press release is anything to go by, the album should …Biscope remix Tonight!
So the first remix of Tonight by Popskarr that I’ve come across is this awesome dubstep remake courtesy of the Rumney Bros. aka Biscope. The first 2:16 of the track lull you into a false sense of calmness that is completely destroyed as soon as that dirty bassline comes in …CoDeC: Retro Series
Capetonian CoDeC has been making music for a while now and he decided to share some of his older stuff with us in what he is calling his “Retro Series EP”. So here we are, four tracks from his past that are more in the vein of italo disco than the banging stuff he is …New Artist: Mix n Blend!
Well look what the internet dragged in! Cape Town’s Mix n Blend are the newest addition to our artists section. Check it out here! They make dubsteppy, hip hoppy, jazzy electro crunk soul. Part of the African Dope stable, they have remixed and featured a number of premier …Don Diablo - I need to know
Our friend Stephen from Muzikology sent us this early this morning…
Don Diablo’s trademark guitarlicks, staccato basslines and distorted synths are all united in this funky little number called ‘I need to know’. It will not be on his forthcoming album, …Myrid Ambre - Weird Realm
First off, congrats to CF for winning a copy of the Myrid Ambre album by guessing the vocalist on the the track posted here!
For the rest of us, here is another track from this minimal mastemind. Winding, well composed and beautiful is all I could come up with when trying to put …
