A Deeply Nostalgic Set for Apple Music
Apple Music today unveils the latest exclusive Isgubhu DJ Mix, curated and mixed by South African house luminary Sun-El Musician. The set, described as deeply nostalgic, features exclusive new tracks from his upcoming album Under Da Sun.
Sun-El Musician on African Electronic Dance
Speaking to Apple Music about the mix, Sun-El Musician explained:
“African electronic dance is a movement, a synergy of diverse cultures, genres and musical expressions. As the tempo of each song fades, a new melody emerges from an unexpected but pleasant place, representing the possibility that exists.”
A Trailblazer in Afro-House and Electronic Music
Born Sanele Sithole in the Highlands of KwaZulu-Natal, Sun-El Musician has built a reputation for his fusion of Afro-House and electronic sounds. Through his record label El-World Music, he has not only popularised the genre globally but also nurtured Africa’s next generation of electronic artists.
A Cultural Figure Beyond the Music
With multiple SAMA awards and collaborations with icons like Black Coffee and Zakes Bantwini, Sun-El Musician has cemented his place as more than just a household name. He remains a cultural figure, continuously pushing boundaries and shaping South Africa’s evolving soundscape.
SPINALL Fronts the Isgubhu Playlist
In tandem with Sun-El’s DJ Mix, Afrobeats powerhouse SPINALL graces the cover of the Isgubhu playlist this month, marking the release of his new album ÈKÓ GROOVE. The project is a genre-blending celebration of Lagos energy and global rhythm, drawing from amapiano to afro-fusion.
