South African Duo Earns SAMA Nod for Remix of the Year
WoodBlock DJs have been officially nominated at the South African Music Awards (SAMAs) in the Remix of the Year category for their groundbreaking “Skuta Baba Remix.” The record brought together a powerhouse lineup featuring Cassper Nyovest, Kwesta, Buzzi Lee, Tony Dayimane, Kane Keid, Mvelost, and Set Off.
Skuta Baba Becomes a Cultural Anthem
Far beyond being a remix, Skuta Baba has become a unifying anthem — a celebration of collaboration, diversity, and South Africa’s evolving sound. The track continues to resonate across audiences, cementing WoodBlock DJs as cultural trailblazers.
Continental Recognition at AFRIMAs
Taking their impact beyond national borders, WoodBlock DJs have also secured two major nominations at the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMAs):
- Producer of the Year
- Best African DJ
These acknowledgements underscore their influence on the continental stage and highlight the global relevance of South African music.
Gratitude to Collaborators and Supporters
The duo extended heartfelt thanks to the artists who helped bring the remix to life — Cassper Nyovest, Kwesta, Buzzi Lee, Tony Dayimane, Kane Keid, Mvelost, and Set Off.
They also credited the fans, whose passion fuels their movement, Universal Music Group for its licensing partnership, and Mr. Xolani Majozi of SoldOut Media for steering the project with vision and leadership.
A Win for South Africa and African Music
“This is more than a nomination, it’s a celebration of the sound, culture, and community that South African music represents,”
said the duo.
“We are honoured to stand alongside such incredible artists and to keep telling our story on bigger stages.”
Their nominations are not just a victory for WoodBlock DJs — they represent a win for South Africa, collaboration, and African music on the global stage.
