The catalog
Here’s a brief of the scheduled selectors for the day;
!Sooks
The Leader of the Wolfpack, the host of UTW. One of Eswatini’s most recognisable House/electronic music exports, !Sooks continues to push boundaries both locally and internationally. Fresh from his first Asian tour, he returns with expanded global influence, adding depth and experience to the lineup.
Mamthug
South African powerhouse, Mamthug, stands out for her bold presence behind the decks, delivering jazzy soulful house sets and effortlessly commands attention. Her style reflects a fearless approach to music selection, making her one of the more distinct personalities on the lineup with a refreshingly peculiar fashion taste!
Secret Souls
Swazi born Legends. Started as an original group of 5, Secret Souls played a foundational role in shaping house music production from a local perspective, starting well over a decade ago. They have collaborated with various local producers and international producers, and are bringing a seasoned touch to UTW. This monumental moment, a return to performance, leans into deep, layered house music, offering a more immersive and atmospheric journey for those who will bear witness, new and old.
Gabbana
All eyes will be on Gabbana as he makes his first-ever performance in Eswatini. His inclusion adds an external edge to the event, introducing a fresh sound and expanding the musical range of the night. With countless hits and collabo projects with the host, this promises to be a mind blowing performance, one of the highlights of the night!
Kudbeu (Pierre Johnson alias)
Introducing Kudbeu (pronounced: ‘could be you’). Pierre Johnson steps into a more experimental lane, exploring deeper and more textured sounds. Kudbeu, as a project, taking flight in 2025, highlights his versatility and willingness to move beyond familiar territory. The Cape Town born artist is playing for the first time in the Kingdom. History is being made.
Keiisy
A rising female growing force in Eswatini’s deep house space, Keiisy has steadily built her name through curated events and consistent performances. As the founder of Deep House Is Back, she continues to create platforms for local talent while refining a sound rooted in soulful, groove-driven house.
Katz
Katz is carving out a space within the local circuit through high-energy sets and regular appearances at venues including the host venue, Oryx Restaurant for their weekender series. Katz also has a monthly music podcast called Beats and Bass, which is where he gets to put himself out there and, together with his partner, host mixes and conversate with diverse local and international guests.
Drum Rhythm
