Johannesburg, Gauteng May 3, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - After shaking up the scene with viral remixes and major TV placements, South African DJ and producer DJ Owam (real name Phikolomzi Zikhali) is back with a new sound set to dominate the dancefloor. His latest release, “Mthebelele” featuring Gemini RSA, brings an explosive Bacardi Amapiano vibe designed for groove, street parties, and township celebrations.
Infused with Pretoria’s raw Bacardi energy and layered with DJ Owam’s signature bounce, “Mthebelele” is more than just a song — it’s a movement. Though still in the submission process for radio airplay, the track is already available across all digital platforms. It has sparked a wave of excitement online, including the launch of the viral #MthebeleleChallenge on TikTok.
But DJ Owam’s success didn’t start here. His Gqom Bootleg remix of Natalie Taylor’s “Surrender” earned him early recognition, now sitting at over 77,000 plays on Audiomack. Soon after, he was featured in the vibrant music video “Vuma” by Gemini RSA, which aired on several prominent DStv music channels including:
MTV Base South Africa (DStv Channel 322)
Cape Town TV
He continued to rise with other music videos like:
“Nyani Nyani” ft. Veeco H Soul Amapiano, featured on Trace Africa (DStv 326) and 1KZN TV
“Kwezontaba” ft. Sanely, which also aired on 1KZN TV
Now, DJ Owam is preparing a full Amapiano EP, working with respected names like Beazmida RSA, showing his commitment to growing the sound and culture with authentic collaborations.
