Counting his South African peers Black Coffee, Shimza or Themba as some of his most prominent ambassadors, Thakzin is considered by many as one of the most unique & versatile Electronic South African producers. His groundbreaking single "The Magnificent Dance'' (on Sondela) became one of the most viral tracks of the South African summer of 2022 & caused a stir globally, laying down the foundation of 3Step, a disruptive hybrid of Amapiano, Afro & Deep House installing him as its originator & uncontested leader.
Some of his remixes became game changers, installing him at the forefront of the most spectacular rising artists : Yes God of Oscar MBO (reworked with Mörda & Mhaw Keys) and Dj Kent's classic Horns In the Sun (featuring catchy new vocals of Brenden Praise) helped him to take the world by storm & gaining momentum in UK, the US & Central Europe.
