Isgubhu October 2025 (DJ Mix)

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, kwaito, Shangaan electro and more. For the latest Isgubhu playlist DJ mix, Apple Music enlisted back-to-back curation from two of the most globally accomplished singer-songwriter/producers to ever call Zimbabwe home, Bantu and Dr. Chaii. “Our Isgubhu mix is a journey from Cape to Cairo, a soundtrack of joy, rhythm and connection,” Bantu says. “It’s about honouring Africa’s heartbeat while taking it to the world.” The two present a vision of a more unified diasporic soundscape, Dr. Chaii adding, “Many of the artists in the mix are collaborators and friends who share our vision of Afro-electronic music as a cultural bridge. These tracks resonate because they connect to our roots while pushing boundaries globally.” Hear what Isghubu sounds like to Bantu and Dr. Chaii’s ears and check back for more one-of-a-kind mixes.
