Hailing from Durban, South Africa, Nathi Maphumulo aka Blackcoffee has been grinding a fine blend of deep bassline-driven house beats since the mid ninetees. Inspiration hit a peak at the RBMA in Cape Town in 2003, where he crossed creative paths with South African legend Hugh Masekela. The great man added soulful notes to Blackcoffee's debut CD, which then bagged a trophy for Best Dance Album at the 2006 South African Music Awards. Since then he's been serving fixes on top kwaito outlet Kalawa Jazzmee and Kronologic as well as on leading European house music labels like Franck Roger's Real Tone from Paris or GOGO from Germany. Once heads get a shot of Blackcoffee, they always crave more. [Red Bull Music Academy Radio]
