SibaTHATHU is a DJ collective based in Johannesburg, South Africa, specializing in Gqom, a sub-genre of house music that originates from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

The Gqom sibaTHATHU plays is a fusion of Techno, Bass, Afrotech, and elements of an early 2000s South African sound known as Tribal, all with a touch of electronic infusion. However, the production style is not solely confined to these influences, as Gqom draws significant inspiration from the Nguni tradition, resulting in a culturally rich and diverse sound.

The collective has graced stages in several venues around Johannesburg, such as ANDclub, The Hallmark House, Kitcheners, and The Compound to name a few. sibaTHATHU is committed to expanding the reach of Gqom to the global dance music scene, as we firmly believe that this genre has universal appeal and deserves to be heard by audiences worldwide.

In conclusion, sibaTHATHU is a talented and innovative collective that presents a distinct South African sound that truly distinguishes itself in the realm of dance music. Our primary objective is to expand the reach of this beautiful sound known as GQOM.
