WHAT’S ON MUSIC DEBUT

VETERAN journalist and the assistant editor of the Pretoria News, Kennedy Mudzuli, is set to take the music scene by storm with his first single Ko Davin due for release on digital music stores on July 24.

The rising Afrohouse DJ , known as DJ Edit SA, said he used the lockdown to put together his debut masterpiece.

His mornings were dedicated to creating and perfecting his music, while his afternoons and evenings were reserved to edit the newsy Pretoria News.

“I’ve always been known as the guy with the best playlist and latest music. However, I only started sharpening my music selecting and mixing skills in 2017. I made mixtapes and uploaded them online,” he said.

Mudzuli’s mixes are played on various radio stations. Within three years he has built a loyal following with his weekly mixtape series, The Shift, reaching more than 40 000 people online.

Ko Davin features one of the country’s top vocalists and performers, Leon Lee, as well as Percy Sleash SA, a musician in his own right. Behind the scenes is the genius Kay-9ine.

“The lyrics are inspired by Da Davin Lifestyle Lounge in Soshanguve (north of Tshwane). The single is an ode to when Tshwane nightlife was a pulse of great entertainment for dance and music lovers,” said Mudzuli.

Ko Davin is the first single off The Shift extended-play record (EP). DJ Edit SA has just finished working on a second single, Mukwevho, titled after his clan name, to be followed by a third, a gospel-inspired Afrohouse track.

The EP will drop later this year.

“Mudzuli is very disciplined and strives for excellence in all he does,” said Pretoria News editor Val Boje.

“We know he will impress with this single. We are proud of his accomplishment and wish him all the best for this new edition.”
