Dlala Thukzin’s Afro House Mix in Lagos is an electrifying showcase of his range as a producer and DJ, reinforcing why he remains one of the most respected figures in South Africa’s electronic music space. Unlike his gqom-heavy tracks, this mix leans into Afro-tech and tribal house influences, while still carrying that unmistakable Thukzin energy.
Jazzworx, Thukuthela and Babalwa M recently appeared on uValo featuring Dlala Thukzin.
The mix is a sonic journey, shifting between hypnotic grooves, atmospheric build-ups, and explosive drops. Layers of percussion, echoing chants, and synth textures create a sense of ritualistic movement, as if the music is designed to transport the listener into a trance state. At the same time, the basslines remain dance-heavy, keeping the energy high for festival and club environments.
What makes this set stand out is how it blends African-rooted rhythms with global house appeal. You hear echoes of Afrocentric storytelling in the drum patterns, yet the mixing is sleek and modern — proof of Thukzin’s ability to balance tradition with innovation. Performed in Lagos, the mix also represents a pan-African connection in sound, bridging South African electronic music with Nigeria’s vibrant scene. It’s not just a DJ set — it’s a statement of cultural fusion and sonic dominance.
