Side Quests / Electrokids
Electrokids
Electrokids is a Minsk (Belarus) promotion group that formed around the first Sistema Elektronnogo Bezumiya (Система Электронного Безумия, "System of Electronic Madness"), also referenced by the abbreviation SEB (СЭБ), event in 2002. It later operated as a recurring platform for Belarusian electronic musicians, with activity spanning events, a website archive, releases, and distribution notes.
Why it matters
- Electrokids ran recurring festival-scale and flagship club programming for 10+ years, anchored by serial editions of СЭБ / SEB and other major club formats. The preserved archive runs from 2002 onward and still documents flagship bills in 2012—for example «Система Электронного Безумия» (10 лет Electrokids) @ Fabrique (3 November 2012).
- The group functioned as glue catalyzing the country’s electronic music scene—linking venues, crews, genres, and cross-border guests—while that infrastructure was still coalescing in Belarus.
- The same primary write-up notes dozens of artists and DJs for whom Electrokids line-ups became a career launchpad (including counts of DJs/projects across early years).

What they did
The Electrokids site existed to publish information about parties and other events organized by the promo group, and to cover participating DJs/musicians and related scene activity.
Beyond events, Electrokids also described issuing releases under their own imprints and helping distribute electronic music from Belarus and the broader region.
