DJ Mujava has been played on NTS over 30 times, featured on 32 episodes and was first played on 24 August 2013.

DJ Mujava’s real name is Elvis Maswanganyi, he’s 21 and hails from a Pretorian township called Attridgeville.

He got his break when taxi drivers - who had heard him play on community radio and act as independent grassroots music distributors in South Africa’s urban townships - started spreading his sound in their cab stereos and selling CDs they had acquired from visits to his house directly to their customers accross Pretoria.

His popularity grew and he eventually signed with a well known South African dance music label. Up until now however, he’s not released anything outside the country.

DJ Mujava’s formula on ‘Township Funk’s is simple.

It’s tough, dark, African dance music from the industrial city of Pretoria, South Africa. As described by music critic Piotr Orlov in the New York Times, the song is "built from martial snare drums that invoke a local music called kwaito, an ominous synthetic bass drone and a melancholy melody fashioned from video-game-like sounds."
