Official 2025 release artwork: Indigo Child II: Love & Frequency - Apple Music
Afro house DJ and producer
Da Capo, born Nicodimas Sekheta Mogashoa in Seshego, Polokwane, is one of South Africa's defining Afro house producers. A self-taught DJ who signed his first record deal at twenty, he broke through with Indigo Child (2017), certified double platinum by the Recording Industry of South Africa, and founded his own label Genesys Entity in 2020. His sets have travelled from Hï Ibiza to OUTPUT in New York and Djoon in Paris. In June 2025 he returned with Indigo Child II: Love & Frequency, a deeply personal sequel featuring MaWhoo, Soul Star, Elaine and FKA Mash.
SAMA32’s shortlist shows a South African music industry no longer defined by one centre. From Durban Gqom to Maskandi, Amapiano, Jazz, Gospel and regional scenes, the country’s sound is spreading power across many hubs.
Kabza De Small leads the line-up for the third edition of the food, fashion and music festival, themed 'Evophoria', running 26–27 September. He is billed for the Sunday as one half of the Scorpion Kings with DJ Maphorisa, on a day skewed toward house and amapiano. Gates 12:00 to 23:00, 18+.
