Phalaborwa DJs up music standards

Two DJs from Namakgale, Besh Tonic and MalumzG, are changing the music landscape in Phalaborwa.

The pair, whose real names are Vusi Sithole and Obrey Khosa, are teaching young girls, boys and aspiring musicians the art of DJing and composing. “We host private sessions called Dutch vibe sessions, teaching people to sing, produce and mix.”

“We are trying to take kids off the streets to prevent substance abuse and encourage them to do something better with their lives,” explained Besh Tonic. They also help aspiring DJs play at venues and give private piano lessons. Besh Tonic told the Herald that they plan to open a music school giving youngsters exposure to the music world.

The duo, who have deep roots in house music, officially formed the group last year with MalumzG managing the business. Besh Tonic said his brother, DJ, Ernest Stino, inspired him to follow a music career.

They have already assisted artists such as Rhulani and Mulo RSA to host a private session at the First Episode at Namakgale Maswikeng in Dutch Street and received great support from the local community.
