Apple Music Announces Da Capo As The Next Isgubhu Cover Star

Apple Music today announced South African award-winning DJ and producer Da Capo (real name Nicodimas Sekheta Mogashoa) as the next Isgubhu cover star.

“I am really excited to be picked to be on the cover of Isgubhu this month,” Da Capo tells Apple Music. “I’m also excited to share some of the songs that I have been playing on tour at home and abroad, as well as tracks from diverse collaborations and remixes that are close to my heart. Also, I’m excited to share some music from my new EP Bakone.”

As a self-taught and self-professed lover of all facets of electronic music, Da Capo has worked diligently to become one of South Africa’s premiere house music DJs and producers. Born and raised in the small township of Seshego in Limpopo, Da Capo’s name has Italian roots meaning “from the beginning” and has become a multi-award-winning, household name across stages from OUTPUT in New York, to Djoon in Paris.

From his first self-titled solo release in 2014 that featured vocalists Clara Hill, Rona Ray and Soulstar, Da Capo refined his trailblazing Afro-house sound over three releases, namely 'Touched' (2016), 'Indigo Child' (2017) and 'genesis' (2020). His latest release is an EP titled 'Bakone' (2023), available to stream on Apple Music in Spatial Audio, and boasts a carefully selected array of talent including Batundi, Nana Attah, Lokau Kanza, and Da Africa Deep.

To celebrate his feature, Da Capo has also created an exclusive Isgubhu playlist that features a carefully curated set of songs from start to finish. “The songs I have selected feature voices and producers from South Africa and around the world who continue to inspire me on my musical journey of bringing peace and love to homes and dance floors wherever I can,” he says.
