Fresh off the back of 70 shows across summer 2025, a major release on Helix Records (Fire Fire — already making waves as a viral summer anthem), and recognition as one of the most in-demand DJs in the world, Shimza’s momentum shows no signs of slowing.

Combining his unrelenting passion for music with an inextinguishable desire to make a positive impact on his surroundings, Shimza stands as a totem figure in South Africa’s music scene and a leader of house music across Africa. With releases on respected imprints such as Cadenza Records, Knee Deep In Sound, and now Helix, he continues to bridge underground credibility with global appeal.

Beyond the club and festival stage, Shimza is taking his sound to the world through his radio show Karma Karma, broadcasting to new audiences and solidifying his role as an international ambassador for the movement.
