In “10 Steps Away”, Dlala Thukzin once again flexes his genre-blending mastery, offering a powerful, emotionally resonant track that straddles the line between electronic intensity and spiritual introspection. Known for fusing Gqom, Afro-tech, and house, Thukzin dials into a more atmospheric and layered approach here—creating a journey rather than just a beat.

The title, “10 Steps Away”, hints at distance—whether emotional, physical, or metaphorical. And that sense of longing and movement is embedded in the music. The track opens with suspenseful ambient elements and gradually builds with crisp percussion, echoing vocal chants, and Thukzin’s signature pulsing bass. Each element unfolds like a step in a story—progressing forward with purpose.
Rather than rushing to a climax, Thukzin keeps the energy smoldering—pulling the listener in with hypnotic loops, eerie pads, and tension-filled pauses. It’s the kind of track that makes you feel like you’re walking through an emotional landscape—part dancefloor, part dream state.
“10 Steps Away” is ideal for late-night sets, deep introspective playlists, or moments when you want music that moves your body and mind at once. It’s more than just a banger—it’s a statement.
