Acclaimed South African DJ, producer and radio personality Da Kruk celebrates a major career milestone with the 10-year anniversary re-release of his global Afro House anthem, MAGIC. The record features Chicago songstress Lili K and production contributions from South African house music stalwart Gaba Cannal.
From Underground Gem to Global Afro House Classic
Originally released in 2016, MAGIC evolved from an underground dance floor favorite into an international Afro House classic. Driven by its hypnotic groove, emotive vocal performance, and infectious rhythm, the track became a staple in DJ sets worldwide.
It garnered strong support from global tastemakers including Black Coffee, Culoe De Song, THEMBA, Enes Cakir, and Damian Lazarus, helping cement its place in the global dance music circuit.
A Soundtrack Across Continents
Over the past decade, the record has travelled across continents, soundtracking dance floors from Ibiza’s sun-soaked terraces and the luxury beach clubs of St. Tropez, to underground venues in Berlin, Istanbul, Dubai, New York, and across the United Kingdom.
Its distinctive Afro House rhythm and uplifting vocal delivery have made it a defining set feature for DJs and dance music lovers alike.
‘MAGIC (2026 Remastered)’ Reimagines the Original
To commemorate the track’s global journey, Da Kruk now presents MAGIC (2026 Remastered)—a refreshed edition that enhances the sonic quality of the original while preserving the spirit that made it resonate worldwide.
The anniversary package also revisits the celebrated remix collection, featuring standout interpretations by Lemon & Herb, MR Joe, and Kinetic.
The Artist Behind the Anthem
Beyond the track itself, the release reflects the journey of Da Kruk, who has built a respected presence within international electronic dance music as both a producer and broadcaster.
Known for his emotive Afro House productions and high-energy DJ sets, he continues to bridge the gap between underground dance culture and mainstream audiences through music releases, club performances, and influential radio work.
A Powerful Collaboration of Musical Voices
The original recording brought together two distinct musical voices. Lili K, a Chicago-born artist known for her soulful, genre-blending vocal style, has collaborated with artists such as Chance The Rapper and Vic Mensa, bringing emotional depth to the track.
Meanwhile, Gaba Cannal infused the record with his signature soulful production sensibility, helping shape its timeless Afro House identity.
A Timeless Afro House Legacy
As the global Afro House movement continues to evolve, MAGIC (2026 Remastered) stands as both a celebration of a timeless record and a reminder of the genre’s enduring ability to connect people across cultures, cities, and dance floors.
A decade later, the magic returns—ready to revive unforgettable memories while introducing a new generation of listeners to one of Afro House’s most beloved global anthems.
