Gazelle's "Die Verlore Seun" does electro in Afrikaans

Who said Afrikaans can't do electro?

Dirty synths, robot rhythms and sexy male vocals crooning existentially:

"Sorry Papa, ek moes die plaas verlaat, want ek mis die disco ligte, te veel"
- Sorry dad, I had to leave the farm, because I miss the disco lights, too much.

Check YoGazelle on their (his) MySpace page and listen to "Die Verlore Seun" (The prodical son) and his other song "options".
Shout-out once again to the man in Cape Town with his finger on the musical pulse, Wedding DJ Donald!

NUL Afrikaans electronic music

This is Adriaan, creator of Afrikaans electronic music. Think a cross between NIN and Squarepusher in a weird African language of Germanic origin.

Adriaan is an old friend of mine, and this Saturday he gigged at The Bohemian Johannesburg. Mhambi can't recommend their music too highly. It's a touch avant guard and inteligent crafted music, but very groovy. You can download it for free from their website.
