Oskido reveals exclusive playlist celebrating African Rhythms
Following his recent win at the South African Music Awards (SAMAs), legendary DJ Oskido is celebrating African rhythms with a special playlist on Apple Music.
The “Africa Now DJ Mix” features a mix of Afrobeats, amapiano, and Afro-house, showcasing the diverse sounds of South African music that have gained popularity worldwide.
The playlist, which reflects Oskido’s 25-year journey in music, includes tracks from top global stars like Diamond Platnumz, Davido, and Burna Boy, as well as local hits from Kabza De Small, Tyler ICU, and Ayra Starr. Oskido says the playlist connects deeply with him because of the authentic African melodies that speak to his heart.
“This mix is versatile, you can play it anywhere, and it fits any mood. It’s guaranteed to uplift your spirit as it takes you on a musical journey through Africa,” Oskido said. “It blends Afrobeats, amapiano, and Afro-house to create a journey that moves both the body and the soul.”
Oskido also recently won the Chairman’s Award at the 2024 SAMAs, and shared his gratitude on Instagram:
“Honoured and humbled by this Chairman’s Award. This is a tribute to the journey with Kalawa Jazmee, DJU, Southern African Music Conference, my family, and everyone who has supported me.”
After a successful American tour with the Scorpion Kings, Oskido will perform at Afro Nation in Portugal in 2025.
He will also host his first-ever “Big Day Out” music and lifestyle festival in Johannesburg on November 30.
