Apple Music has announced acclaimed producer and DJ Nitefreak as the latest featured artist on its Isgubhu platform, alongside the release of his exclusive Isgubhu DJ Mix. The feature further reinforces Isgubhu’s role as a key destination for African electronic music and club culture.
A Signature Sound Rooted in Afro-House and Afro-Tech
Known for his deep, hypnotic approach to Afro-house and Afro-tech, Nitefreak has steadily built a reputation for immersive, rhythm-driven productions that connect underground sensibilities with global dancefloors. His sound is characterised by rolling percussion, atmospheric builds and a spiritual depth that places African electronic music firmly at the centre of contemporary club culture.
An Immersive and Intentional DJ Mix
Nitefreak’s Isgubhu DJ Mix reflects this sonic identity, moving fluidly between emotive grooves, extended club mixes and percussive late-night workouts. The mix brings together collaborators, inspirations and original material, offering a concise snapshot of his evolving sound and the broader Afro-house ecosystem it inhabits.
Balancing Restraint and Release
Anchored by standout tracks such as Masterclass alongside Roland Clark and Hinde with Idd Aziz, the mix balances tension and release. Vocal-led moments are paired with stripped-back, rhythm-forward selections, while extended arrangements and subtle progressions reward patient listening and movement in equal measure.
