“Smoothie” by Dlala Thukzin & Funky Qla is an Afro House project that leans into the smoother, more atmospheric side of South African dance music. The production is built around deep grooves, warm synth textures, layered percussion and a steady rhythmic pulse, creating a polished and immersive sound.
Dlala Thukzin and Funky Qla recently appeared on Maye featuring Kabza De Small, DJ Maphorisa and Thatohatsi.
The project showcases the strong chemistry between Dlala Thukzin and Funky Qla, with the tracks balancing Afro House, 3-Step and Gqom-influenced rhythms. The arrangements are generally extended and DJ-friendly, allowing the percussion, bass and melodic elements to develop gradually without feeling overcrowded.
Overall, Smoothie is a refined and groove-heavy project that highlights the more fluid side of Dlala Thukzin and Funky Qla’s sound. It works well for deep dancefloor sessions, DJ sets, late-night listening and fans of contemporary South African electronic music.
