SA: DJ Tira sets 20 November release date for new EP

The project is led by the single ‘Aphi Amajita’, which features Mawhoo, Zeh Mcgeba and TNS. The track brings together established and emerging artists, combining their different musical styles with DJ Tira’s production.

The EP explores several sounds associated with the Durban music scene, including gqom and Afro-house. Other tracks on the project include ‘Songena Ngo 4’, ‘Dlala Sbhengane’ and ‘Tira’s Dance’.

A new version of DJ Tira’s song ‘Ngigcwale Ngawe’ is also featured on the EP. The original recording featured Boohle, Campmasters and General C’mamane, while the updated version brings together Goldmax and Boohle.

The release follows the recent staging of DJ Tira’s Ogagwini Gumba Fest at Obanjeni Sports Ground in Mtunzini, KwaZulu-Natal. The event brought together thousands of attendees for activities spanning music, sport and culture.

The EP is also expected to precede Day One Fest, which DJ Tira is scheduled to host on 1 January 2027.

Speaking about the project, DJ Tira said it reflected the momentum following his recent festival and would provide a soundtrack leading up to the New Year event.

“This is for my people. Malume Way Vol 2 is the sound of the summer. After Gumba Fest, the energy is still high, and we are now preparing for Day One Fest on January 1st. This EP is the journey between the two,” he said.

Malume Way Vol 2 follows the first instalment of the series and continues DJ Tira’s work in promoting Durban's dance music sounds through collaborations with established and emerging performers.

The EP will be available on digital music platforms from 20 November 2026.
