For Isgubhu, our spotlight on Africa’s dance and electronic scenes, South African DJ and producer Dlala Thukzin—known for innovative fusions of gqom, Afro-tech and Afro-house—shines a light on some of his favourite boundary-pushing stars, including Ciza, Jazzworx, Thukuthela and Beekay Monalayzzar. “There’s a bit of a trend here with these songs—Afro-tech is running deep!” Dlala Thukzin tells Apple Music. “Jazzworx and Thukuthela are really pushing the boundaries of our genre. Ciza is on fire and still so young, with a bright future ahead, and Beekay Monalayzzar is definitely one to watch. I enjoy working with people I trust and creating music that feels good and means something—and to be able to push the sound across Africa and the rest of the world is a blessing I don’t take lightly. Let’s keep pushing the sound forward!” Here, you’ll also find his Kabza De Small and MK Productions collab, “Muthi” (featuring Zeh McGeba & Masuda), from the second instalment of his creative showcase, 2025’s 031 Studio Camp 2.0, along with more from the continent’s biggest stars.
