Veteran and award-winning DJ and producer, DJ Bongz has announced that he is venturing into a new era in the music industry by embarking on a different type of music genre called the Afro-tech genre.
DJ Bongz is halfway through concluding his Afro Tech album and says he plans to feature artists such as Msaki, Cici, Sky Wonder, and Nomcebo on it.

The Gwara Gwara hitmaker who infuses style and creativity in his sounds and dance moves says the music industry changes from time to time and artists must find a way to stay relevant by blending with the latest music trends and that is why he’s embarking on his afro tech journey.
“In the industry, one has to reinvent themselves. I started making music for South Africans. In the past two decades, I have been making music for South Africans and other countries. If you look at how things are playing out now, older DJs are moving to Afro Tech. Zakes Bantwini moved from house music to Afro Tech, same as Shimza and Sun EL,” he told TshisaLIVE.
“As a legend, you can’t be doing the same music and music for South Africans only. The time has come for me to also move to where everyone else is moving to. My fans know my music and they always say I never disappoint. Every time I drop a song, it becomes a hit. That’s why some have gone platinum, and I have won awards.” DJ Bongz said.
Bongz further stated that “I am working with a number of people, I want to feature all the songstresses in South Africa. I am like their older brother, someone who produced hits back in the day, so I know who I need on this album that’s coming out soon.”
