Apple Music Africa has announced Zimbabwean DJ and producer Nitefreak as the latest curator for its Isgubhu DJ Mix.
“Known for his deep, hypnotic approach to Afro-house and Afro-tech, Nitefreak has steadily carved out a reputation for immersive, rhythm-driven productions that bridge the underground and the global dancefloor. His sound is defined by rolling percussion, atmospheric builds and a spiritual sensibility that places African electronic music firmly at the centre of contemporary club culture,” Apple Music Africa said in a statement.
According to the platform, Nitefreak’s Isgubhu DJ Mix “reflects that sonic identity, moving fluidly between emotive grooves, extended club mixes and percussive workouts designed for late-night listening. The mix brings together collaborators, inspirations and original material, offering a focused snapshot of his evolving sound and the wider Afro-house ecosystem it inhabits.”
Apple Music Africa highlighted that the mix is “anchored by tracks such as Masterclass alongside Roland Clark and Hinde with Idd Aziz. The mix balances restraint and release, pairing vocal-led moments with stripped-back, rhythm-forward selections. Across the set, Nitefreak leans into extended arrangements and subtle progressions, creating a listening experience that rewards patience and movement in equal measure.”
The mix also features Murphy Cubic & MJ Sings – Asibe Mnandi (Extended Mix).
Apple Music Africa added that the platform’s Isgubhu playlist “also houses a collection of alumni playlists, editorial playlists, exclusive DJ mixes, and additional content from the best dance and electronic acts on the continent.”
Nitefreak’s Isgubhu DJ Mix is now available on Apple Music.
