Tripping in Silence

DJ Zafrica was born and raised in Warrenton, in the Northern Cape, South Africa. The area is not exactly renowned for its club scene and Zafrica would regularly drive up to twelve hours to attend clubs like Springbok, Kimberley, and 6 Miles, such was his love for electronic dance music. Although great clubs, they didn’t cater for the music that Zafrica loved and had the greatest affinity with, Techno. To fully explore the music he was most passionate about, he would have to leave South Africa and visit places where Techno was more widely appreciated. At the age of 29, Zafrica moved to the UK, where he got in touch with London Sound Academy. After completing their Advanced and Elite DJ Course, under the tutelage of some of the finest DJs in London, his talent and passion for Techno began to shine through. Zafrica has since played at some of the UK’s best-known venues, such as EGG, Ministry Of Sound and Bankside Vaults. He’s also performed overseas in Poland at Protokultura in Gdańsk & Luzztro in Warsaw.
