Well like since any other creative art such as music like Deep House, Amapiano and AfroTech House went online, so hence steady thump of the past doesn’t match the complex, winding roads we walk today in life. That is why the air has changed in South African space with the likes of Amapiano & Afrotech sounds breaking records as chart toppers. This began prior year of 2026 like where we witnessed the rise of 3-Step Afrotech, and usually it is the rhythm you least expect or didn’t know you were waiting for.
