Diesel is proud to announce that NTS x Diesel TRACKS, which launched globally last year, has landed in South Africa for the first time. Rooted in the connectivity of music and nightlife, TRACKS brings together a mix of progressive musical talent from around the globe in partnership with iconic London-based radio station, NTS – to promote the universal language of club culture and connection. Now, the spotlight is on South Africa to showcase local emerging DJs that fly the flag for SA’s distinctive music scene and nightlife culture. Every last Friday of the month, NTS x Diesel TRACKS SA will be championing local upcoming talents and allowing listeners to discover new sounds spanning Gqom, House, Amapiano, Techno, Club, Experimental, Drum & Bass and more.
In the latest iteration of NTS x Diesel TRACKS SA, we discover LIKKYLIKS, a trans-woman and Johannesburg-based DJ who’s had her foot on every neck with her explosive Gqom sets. Being a DJ’s DJ, she made it her business to get into the underground scene and place it on its rightful pedestal by taking music secret to streaming platforms to major stages like Vogue Nights, Boiler Room, and Johannesburg Pride. Her cunty, stylistic and edgy expression of the genre is rooted in showcasing the magic of queer nightlife on mainstream platforms, bringing her high-energy vibe from the decks to the dance floor—a serve every time. Experience Her Royal Highness, the Gqom Princess.
