For fans of Enoo Napa or Black Coffee, it’s time to turn your eyes and ears onto an emerging Afro-Tech talent out of South Africa. Skelm has caught our attention with “Isizwe,” a collaboration with his production buddy, Casis.

Skelm’s signature heavy Afro sound and distinct percussive marks fuse nicely with Casis’s unique sonic palette, combining melodic tech and Afro rhythms for a cooking track that’s already been leaving a mark on crowds all around South Africa. “Isizwe” is a track that seamlessly blends the euphoria and gradual emotive builds of melodic tech with aggressive Afro Tech drops.

Skelm was first introduced to Afro Tech at a small street festival in Johannesburg, a sound that would forever change the trajectory of his career and create a lifelong passion for music. Born in the vibrant city of Johannesburg, Skelm is a rising force in the scene, whose journey into music began at the tender age of 14, DJing at his school canteen. Skelm values a love for music above all else and it’s paid off. From his first gig in 2022, his brand has grown quickly as he finds himself having played at some of the most prominent festivals and clubs across his home country.

Now that his debut single “Isizwe” is out on official release, Skelm has his sights on the horizon, having just played his very first international gig. Word on the street is that he’s ready for more. Casis has been producing heaters religiously for years and his production has already taken him to Ibiza with Beatport. Between these two South African producer’s there is no shortage of ambition, skill, or emulate vibes and they’re ready to take the rich sound of Afro-Tech to the world.
