Isgubhu, a Zulu word meaning “beat”, celebrates an evergreen and ever-growing set of dance and electronic genres and subgenres sweeping the African continent, from amapiano, gqom, Afro-house to kwaito, Shangaan electro and more. For the latest Isgubhu playlist DJ mix, Apple Music calls on Grammy-nominated DJ and producer Damie to share what he uses to move the crowd when he’s on the decks. “For this mix, I wanted to highlight the depth and soul of Afro-house and Afro-tech by bringing together the rising and established artists who inspire me,” Damie says. “Every track carries a unique emotion; from the spiritual energy of Sun-El Musician and Shimza, to the raw storytelling of Mr Eazi and MANU, and the futuristic textures from Nitefreak, Dj Dreas, Sigag Lauren, KEVIN LNDN and Nektunez. These songs resonate with me because they balance tradition and innovation. They’re rooted in African rhythm but push the sound forward globally.” Hear what Isghubu sounds like to Damie’s ears, and check back for more one-of-a-kind mixes.
