Phodii

Electronic music is undoubtedly on the rise in South Africa, with sub-fusion genres like Afro-Tech capturing mainstream attention. The genre is more inclusive than ever, with multiple venues and leading events allowing the genre to expand its reach beyond South African soil.

Johannesburg-based, Phodii is among a young collective of world-class DJs breaking boundaries and growing the Afro-Tech culture. His sonic taste is curious, melodic, and energetic with a playful and intentional demeanour.

When Phodii isn’t on the decks, he’s either interviewing music giants on platforms like Beatport & Bridges For Music or acting as a fundamental industry liaison in the music business world by bridging the gap between his international clients and local music game players. Phodii is the co-founder of an online media platform named Pieces Africa ®, which is dedicated to spotlighting and encouraging the growth of African music & culture and integrating it with the rest of the world.

In his career as a DJ, Phodii cites himself on performing at leading events such as Ultra South Africa (2019), Basha Uhuru Festival (2021, 2022), Oppikoppi (2018), Red Bull Dance Your Style (2019-2022), Trace Fest (2019), Nasty C Ivyson Tour (2018), Basha Uhuru (2021), Maxhosa SS22 Fashion Show, Da Capo In The City (2018) and many more.

Phodii’s rising profile has garnered significant industry attention, culminating in a cover spot in multiple local newspapers, and articles in various notable magazines.

With his debut single released and debut EP on the way, Phodii has received attention from UK & European stations and platforms including Drums Radio, Reprezent Radio, Clyde Built Radio, Ibiza Global Radio, Clyde Built Radio and No Signal Radio.
