DJ Bubbles is Approaching 3 Decades in Music with International Debut at Hï Ibiza alongside Black Coffee

Sakhile “DJ Bubbles” Ndlazi has officially come full circle. From spinning the decks for the first time in 1996 and compiling his very first dance music compilation for Flipside Records in 1999 to sharing the stage with global icon Black Coffee this September at Wild Corner Hï Ibiza, DJ Bubbles celebrates almost 30 years of crafting timeless, soulful sets.

Known as “the go-to guy when you want that heat,” DJ Bubbles has spent more than two decades building a reputation as a trusted voice in South Africa’s underground scene. His sound merges the tactile nostalgia of vinyl with modern underground influences, creating experiences that are warm, cinematic, and transportive.

Reflecting on his journey, DJ Bubbles recalls:
“On 1 September 2000, I had the opportunity to release my first-ever dance compilation for Flipside Records. That project changed everything for me and now, 30 years later, to make my international debut in Ibiza feels like a full circle moment.”

A vinyl collector, DJ, and founder of Urban Touch Recordings, Bubbles has consistently been at the forefront of South Africa’s evolving music landscape. His genre-defying sets blend jazz, soul, deep house, afrobeat, hip hop, and electronica, making him a bridge between tradition and innovation. He’s also a sought-after collaborator, working across design festivals, live performances, and cultural projects.
