Pioneering the 3Step sound
Trailblazing South African producer Thakzin has kicked off 2025 with Bozza Mthathe, a bold new two-track EP that cements his position as a leading innovator in African electronic music. Recognized as the originator of the 3Step movement—a unique blend of Amapiano, Afro House, and Deep House—Thakzin continues to craft music that merges physical rhythm with spiritual depth.
A hypnotic anthem with ancestral energy
The title track, Bozza Mthathe, is a hypnotic, groove-driven cut steeped in gritty, ancestral textures. It has been a staple in Thakzin’s live sets for the past four months and is already championed by heavyweights like Black Coffee, Oscar Mbo, Mörda, and Dlala Thukzin. Designed to move the body while stirring the spirit, the track was recorded spontaneously in Cape Town after a gig—capturing an elevated and soulful dancefloor energy.
Endorsed by international tastemakers
Bozza Mthathe has caught the attention of influential DJs such as Benji B, Laurent Garnier, and Kid Fonque, adding to Thakzin’s growing global footprint. Since his breakout 2022 hit The Magnificent Dance, he has remained a visionary force, blending ancestral African music with cutting-edge electronic innovation.
A career defined by innovation and impact
Backed by icons including Black Coffee, Shimza, and Themba—and celebrated by global tastemakers like Keinemusik, Louie Vega, and Pete Tong—Thakzin’s discography spans acclaimed originals (Don’t Let Me See, Possessed) and game-changing remixes (Oscar Mbo’s Yes God, DJ Kent’s Horns In The Sun). His co-production on Zakes Bantwini’s Mama Thula became a cultural anthem during South Africa’s 2024 Rugby World Cup triumph.
From local stages to global festivals
Thakzin’s journey has taken him from dominating African festival stages to debuting internationally in Paris, London, Amsterdam, and Berlin. In 2025, he was named one of Spotify Africa’s RADAR picks—highlighting him as part of the next wave of African music innovators.
