Aphex Twin African Aphex Twin

there's something wonderfully aphexy about this electro style from Soweto - both sonically and visually. They'd make brilliant live-show dancers these guys!

african version of to cure a weakling child

isn't there a hangable auto bulb track like this too

didn't that One Laptop Per Child come with Max/MSP or that other program [that's really convuluted and only Autechre/Richard Devine can make real music come out of it]?? I'm waiting for the emerging African IDM scene in 15 years

I guess CSound is included anyway

^I think there's a lot of potential for interesting material there, actually, assuming that not many African kids getting free laptops have much exposure to electronic music.

At first I was about to facepalm, but then I listened and I totally agree, at least with the sonically bit.

is this even realer than juke from chicago, if so i like it by default

Pretty awesome.

I am currently "looking at" Shangaan Electro: New Wave Dance Music from South Africa. If you want a "friendly discussion of newfangled African dance music", just PM me!

i downloaded that one track with the vocals. i'm really liking this sound... but i don't want to overindulge on it. i want to take this stuff in in small doses!
