Elecktroids is an enigmatic electro group, widely speculated to be an alias or side project of the legendary Detroit collective known as Drexciya, which consisted of James Stinson and Gerald Donald. While the true identity behind Elecktroids remains a topic of intrigue within the electronic music community, their music speaks volumes about their talent and innovation within the genre. They first surfaced in 1995 with their seminal album "Electro World," released on the iconic Warp Records label, solidifying their place in the pantheon of electro pioneers.
The group's sound is characterized by robotic funk, intricately woven synths, and a futuristic vision that harks back to the days of early b-boy electro while still managing to push boundaries. Despite a relatively small discography, the impact of Elecktroids on the electro scene has been significant. Notable releases such as "Kilohertz" and the rerelease of the same title showcase their knack for programming precise electronic beats and dystopian melodies that draw inspiration from the founding fathers of Detroit techno as well as the broader science fiction aesthetic. Even though they have shied away from the spotlight and their releases are few and far between, the influence of Elecktroids continues to resonate in the electronic music world.
