Considered by many as one of the most promising & versatile Electronic South African producers, his genre-bending universal sound is fusing forward-thinking South African genres with the roots of a wider African culture and Urban and electronic influences from around the world. After co-producing “Sound Of Freedom” in 2021, Themba's most popular track worldwide, his groundbreaking single "The Magnificent Dance'' became one of the most viral tracks of the South African summer of 2022 & caused a stir globally, laying down the foundation of 3Step, a disruptive hybrid of Amapiano, Afro & Deep House installing him as its originator & uncontested leader.

Thakzin is also an in-demand performer in South Africa playing major events such as Ultra Festival, Spring Fiesta, El-World Festival or Kunye. After debuting his first international shows in Hong Kong, Amsterdam & Paris end of 2023, his DJ schedule is in full steam for 2024 with double sold-out London debuts with Sondela & Deviation (UK) and forthcoming gigs in La Reunion, Cologne, Amsterdam, Paris, Zurich or Lisbon...
