Black Coffee is a South African DJ, music producer and modern day renaissance man who has become one of the most prominent figures in global electronic music. Born Nkosinathi Maphumulo in Umlazi in Kwa-Zulu Natal, he began his career in music in the mid-1990s as a DJ and producer in South Africa. It wasn’t until 2003, however, that he released his debut album, a self-titled project that showcased his deep, soulful take on house music to the world.

Over the next several years, Black Coffee continued to build his reputation as one of South Africa’s most innovative and respected DJs, earning an intensely loyal following for his intricate, percussive sound and a commitment to showcasing the best of the country’s diverse musical traditions and rising talent. He further released a series of highly acclaimed albums including “Have Another One” (2007), “Home Brewed” (2009), “Africa Rising” (2012), “Pieces of Me” (2015) and “Subconsciously” (2021).

Despite achieving phenomenal global success and irrefutable creative acclaim, Black Coffee remains curiously grounded, humble and dedicated to his craft, constantly pushing the limits of his sound and seeking out new ways to connect with his audiences. With a new album in the works and an already packed touring schedule in place for 2023, it’s clear that from family to community, to clan, to culture, to country, to the world; we continue to be inexorably blessed with the limitless talent and productivity of such a creative genius, as Black Coffee.
