Afrodeutsche breaks down her track WASP - The Track

Eclectic electronic producer Henrietta Smith-Rolla - aka Afrodeutsche - is one of the most exciting rising artists in the UK right now, making everything from documentary soundtracks and classical solo piano pieces to rough-and-ready techno and electro workouts. We caught up with Henrietta in her Manchester studio to find out about her idiosyncratic approach to production and watch her break down a current live set highlight, WASP.

Nice to see a producer jamming it out, letting it flow, not getting stuck in a 8/16/32... n bar loop and showing how they've dialed in the 15 compressors on their kick drum. Good stuff!

[@reptilespantoso]

Didn't know her work, nice introduction, it's a positive surprise, thanks!

[@MsZumoman]

Big up Afrodeutsche!

[@technopriest8686]

She's killing it here. I appreciate here honesty in not knowing what everything does, music is about feel not knowledge, a very Jazz approach to production I can get down with. Going to check her music out for sure.

[@tonoormusic]

We need more woman in electronic music.

[@tonoormusic]

wow

[@technopriest8686]

@Robert Grant you talk about quotas like someone just lost a job. Get over yourself and your fragile insecurities. You ssarcasm says you want art to be based on merit as if art was never political or historical, and yet here you are triggered by the mention of gender. You realize 90% of your bullshit attempt at being witty had nothing to do with what the original comment said? Stop projecting your fear as If we are a post-racial /post-gender equality society. If we are why are you so bothered by the call to more women in the music space? Sounds like you're just scared of what you're not use to...

[@pcuimac]

We need people who love electronic music to make electronic music. Why do they have to be of any special gender? I don't care about gender.

[@pcuimac]

wr4 It's understandable, because there is a feminist/diversety culture war out there happening right now. SJWs want 50% of all the good nice jobs, but not 50% of the terrible low paid ncreative jobs like garbage collector or sewer maintenance worker (male dominated). I would love to have more women make electronic music, but we don't NEED more women in any nd of music as a political goal.

[@tonoormusic]

You made it political, I didn't.

Let's be clear- a Producer/DJ named "Afrodeutsche" wearing a UR t-shirt made a track called "Wasp," ... about a wasp's nest on her roof. So rannnnnnnnnnnnnnnndommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[@xdeville1]

she is black, living in UK, speaking english why tf she call herself afrodeutsche?!

[@retop56]

First result on Google when you search for "Afrodeutsche": "Afrodeutsche is a British born Ghanaian/Russian/German composer..."

[@patrickr9417]

@@retop56 I think she is way more ghanaian than russian. No offense intended.
