Introducing: Tech Afrique
Empowering global communities and brands through the power of sound and vision
At the intersection of music, art, and purpose, Tech Afrique is redefining what it means to be a record label, event platform, and creative studio. As a certified B Corporation, Tech Afrique is not only creating groundbreaking experiences but also leading with social responsibility, healing, and empowerment. The platform is a beacon for innovation and cultural elevation, dedicated to uplifting BIPOC artists and reshaping electronic music and art worldwide.
Tech Afrique is the brainchild of two visionary creatives, Eli Fola and Chelsea Odufu, who combined their talents to create something extraordinary. Eli’s sonic artistry and Chelsea’s visual brilliance have established Tech Afrique as a space that transcends boundaries and inspires both artists and audiences alike.
As a cultural force, Tech Afrique champions Afro-electronic sounds and creates pathways for BIPOC artists to lead within a genre ancestrally connected to their roots. The electronic music world often overlooks its origins in Black culture, and Tech Afrique is working tirelessly to reclaim that narrative. Through its record label and events, the platform amplifies the voices of alternative and eclectic creatives, providing them with the platforms and resources to thrive.
From Afro House to experimental electronica, Tech Afrique is cultivating a new wave of sonic and visual experiences that are both cutting-edge and deeply rooted in heritage. Their work is not just about music; it’s about fostering connection, joy, and empowerment for communities worldwide.
For Tech Afrique, frequency is everything. The team studies the visual and sonic frequencies that empower individuals and create moments of healing, happiness, and freedom. This exploration fuels their creative output—from immersive soundscapes to art installations—and allows them to create experiences that elevate energy and inspire connection.
Their innovative approach has attracted global brands looking to tap into vibrant, free-spirited communities. They have collaborated with Chase Sapphire, Dr. Martens, and Chanel, producing visuals and experiential activations that celebrate creativity while aligning with each brand’s ethos. These projects demonstrate Tech Afrique’s ability to merge commercial goals with cultural impact. This year, Tech Afrique reached a major milestone when they were commissioned by Burning Man to bring a sculpture to the legendary festival. Known for pushing creative boundaries, this collaboration reflects their commitment to storytelling through sound, visuals, and shared experiences.
Committed to reshaping the global cultural landscape, Tech Afrique continues to honor the African origins of electronic music while building the genre’s future. Through events, studio work, and its label, Tech Afrique bridges tradition and innovation, offering a platform where BIPOC artists can share their voices and stories.
As Tech Afrique grows, their focus remains on expanding globally, collaborating with aligned brands, and empowering creative communities. By championing Afro-futurist ideas and fostering innovation, they're shaping a new movement in electronic music that celebrates heritage, culture, and the freedom to create. In a world hungry for connection and authenticity, Tech Afrique delivers more than sound and visuals – they create transformative experiences that heal, inspire, and empower. This is not just a platform – it’s a cultural revolution.
