Johannesburg, South Africa — Nov, 2025
Summer has officially arrived, bringing with it a blazing new sound set to dominate dancefloors, festivals, and street corners across the nation. South Africa’s kings of energy and innovation, Dladla Mshunqisi and Beast RSA, have joined forces to release their highly anticipated collaborative EP, “Puku Puku”—which impressively hit Number 1 on Apple Music on the very first day of its release and has reached 1 million streams.
For fans of Gqom, no festive season is complete without a fresh wave of explosive dance anthems — and Puku Pukudelivers exactly that. Packed with six vibrant, hard-hitting tracks, the EP stands as a celebration of creativity, rhythm, and the unstoppable spirit of South African street culture.
Hailing from KwaMashu, Dladla Mshunqisi has long been a powerhouse in the Gqom movement, adored for his unmatched energy, unforgettable ad-libs, and distinct vocal delivery. Since breaking into the mainstream with his electrifying hit “Yin’ Leng’aka,” Dladla has remained a driving force in shaping the sound of modern dance music.
Beast RSA, equally influential in his own right, is a multifaceted producer and performer celebrated for his bold sound design and signature fusion of classic Gqom with contemporary sonic textures. His fearless approach to experimentation and wide production range have cemented him as one of South Africa’s most versatile and forward-thinking talents.
Together, these two heavyweights have crafted “Puku Puku” — a bold, genre-pushing body of work that redefines the soundtrack of summer while paying homage to the raw, infectious roots of Gqom.
The EP is a testament to collaboration at its finest: fresh, dynamic, and designed to get bodies moving. From the streets to the clubs, Puku Puku promises to set the tone for the season and beyond.
