Zenzele

Zenzele lands at Het Sieraad in Amsterdam on 30 May 2026 with a focus on contemporary Afro house. At the decks: Vanco, DJ/producer from Johannesburg, whose sound threads South African club roots into European floors. He builds sets on supple percussion, warm basslines and soulful, often pan‑African vocals, gliding between deep house drive and melodic textures that keep the groove steady without overstatement.

Tracks like Ma Tnsani with Aya and Keladi often surface in his mixes, stitched into long, patient arcs where hand percussion and synth motifs do the talking. Beyond his originals, Vanco likes to rework pop and electronic material; his remixes for Moby, Black Eyed Peas or Daddy Yankee show how he reshapes hooks into rolling patterns designed for movement. He also runs ALGRA, a label dedicated to current Afro electronic flows, a good hint at the range he can bring to a club set. Under the Zenzele banner, expect a room where rhythm, people and atmosphere lock together around Vanco’s groove-first approach.
