AMAPIANO!! The Algorythms FIRST GUEST!! Dj Blackz!

In this instalment we take you from Melbourne to South Africa for the sound of Amapiano. We begin with a phenomenal B2B from Bruno & Blackz then Dj Blackz takes the helm to bring you a personal journey through the sounds of Amapaino.

DJ BLACKZ, the dynamic DJ hailing all the way from Zambia and currently igniting the Amapiano scene in Melbourne. When BLACKZ takes the stage, you can feel the energy shift as he effortlessly blends vibrant beats and soulful rhythms, creating an atmosphere that pulses with life and excitement.

A true maestro of Amapiano, BLACKZ's mix is a testament to his deep connection with the genre. His setlist is a carefully curated selection of the hottest Amapiano tracks, showcasing the genre's signature fusion of Afro-house, jazz, and deep house elements. Each transition feels like a seamless conversation between songs, as BLACKZ skillfully weaves together melodies and rhythms, making it impossible to resist the urge to move to the music.

BLACKZ's passion for music is palpable, and it's contagious. His infectious enthusiasm radiates through the crowd, making every event night he hosts an unforgettable experience. With a natural ability to read the room, BLACKZ knows exactly when to drop a euphoric beat to send the energy soaring or when to slow things down to let the audience savor a more melodic moment.

Having embraced the spirit of Melbourne's music scene, BLACKZ brings a global perspective to his mixes. Drawing from his Zambian roots and his current Melbourne surroundings, his Amapiano mix becomes a cultural melting pot of sonic influences that resonates with music enthusiasts from all walks of life.

BLACKZ | Rhythm Scape | Deep House Session 001

Celebrating 61 Years of Zambian Independence

Recorded live from Melbourne’s iconic WhiteHart Bar, this mix is more than just music — it’s a journey of rhythm, freedom, and identity.

From Kalindula to Pop, Amapiano, Hip Hop, and Dance, each sound represents a piece of Zambia’s heartbeat — reimagined and shared with the world. This set was taken straight from the dancefloor, where energy, culture, and connection came alive.

Created to educate, celebrate, and unify, this curation bridges generations and borders — giving voice to Zambians who now call Australia home, and inviting others to feel the spirit of Zambian joy, pride, and rhythm.

This is a story of who we are — unapologetically bold, deeply rooted, and forever evolving.
No limits. Just love ❤️💚🖤🧡

Celebrating Little Homey ❤️
This mix is dedicated to Little Homey — a space that has become so much more than just a place to hang out. It’s a community, a heartbeat, a home. Watching Little Homey grow and hit its 1st birthday feels surreal, because what they’ve built in such a short time is nothing short of inspiring.
From South African street food to movie nights, tournaments, music, and genuine connection — Little Homey has created a culture of warmth, unity, and creativity. It’s rare to find a gem like this in life… a place where you feel included, seen, and part of something wholesome.
Being invited into this world, and being able to contribute through music, means a lot. This mix is my appreciation, my thank you, and my celebration of everything Little Homey stands for.
Here’s to more memories, more community, more love, and many more birthdays. ❤️🖤💛

Happy 1st Birthday, Little Homey!

Little Homey 1 Year Anniversary Mix

I’m DJ BLACKZ from Rhythm Scape, bringing nothing but chill, soulful energy with this deep house, 3-step Afro-house journey straight from the motherland. This mix captures what a sunset on the Zambezi River feels like to me—surrounded by the people I love, sharing joyful memories and dreaming in colour about the future. It’s my slice of Southern African heaven, shared with the world and with all Little Homey listeners.
Thank you for welcoming me into the Little Homey Café portfolio of DJs. Enjoy the vibes.
