Top 10 SA house songs of 2018

With origins in Chicago, the genre gained prominence in South African cities like Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Polokwane and Mahikeng.

Although it morphed in kwaito and gqom, its original roots are still evident with South African DJs such as Oskido, Black Coffee, Cleo, Euphonik, Clock, Qnesss and Da Capo. And younger artists are making serious headway in the genre too, including Master KG, Professor, DJ Ganyani, Black Motion and Lady Zamar, who are setting the house pace for the rest of the world.
