A Durban Pioneer Who Keeps Evolving
South Africa, Johannesburg – South African music heavyweight and Afrotainment boss, DJ Tira, is back with a brand-new EP titled ‘Izinsimbi Za Makoya’, following the remarkable success of his previous project, Khuphuka, which has officially achieved Gold status.
A true pioneer of Durban’s gqom and house scene, DJ Tira continues to prove his staying power with every release. Khuphuka not only dominated airwaves and playlists nationwide but also showcased his unmatched ability to merge traditional gqom rhythms with innovative collaborations, cementing his legacy as one of the country’s most influential hitmakers.
A Fresh Sound With Familiar Energy
Building on that momentum, Izinsimbi Za Makoya promises a powerful mix of signature gqom energy, soulful hooks, and dancefloor-ready anthems. The project shines a spotlight on rising voices from the Afrotainment stable, while also featuring some of South Africa’s biggest talents — Pcee, Zee Nxumalo, Tipcee, Naak and more.
Through this release, DJ Tira continues his mission to uplift new artists while pushing South African music onto global stages.

“This new EP is about keeping the energy alive, offering people something fresh, and showing the world that Durban remains the heartbeat of the dance scene,”
