DUBAI – Grammy-nominated South African DJ, producer and songwriter Black Coffee ensured the Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC) Arena was the place to be last night (11 February), with a sensational set that transported party-goers to Ibiza.
Black Coffee – real name Nkosinathi Innocent Sizwe Maphumulo – followed opening sets by Frederick Stone and Paul Svenson with a constant backbeat of synths and drums to compel the crowd to carry on dancing until the small hours of the morning.
Showcasing his trademark tough deep-house style, the dynamic DJ played songs from his extensive back catalogue, with fans going wild for his latest tunes, which included Reflections – a Black Coffee remix of a song by Themba, featuring Thoko.
With more than three million followers on Instagram and more than 1.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify, with a career that has spanned more than two decades, Black Coffee is one of Africa’s best-known DJs.
