AW26: Themba

South African mainstay THEMBA returns to The Theatre, bringing his distinctive take on Afro-house and house music back to NW1.

Emerging onto the international dance scene in 2018, Themba quickly established himself with releases on labels including Knee Deep In Sound, Yoshitoshi and Armada, alongside a run of major global appearances. His sound draws directly from his South African roots, combining local vocalists, percussion and musicianship with the club-focused influence of house and techno.

From his residency at Hï Ibiza alongside Black Coffee to sets across Ushuaïa, Amnesia and major international stages, his rise has taken him from Johannesburg to dancefloors around the world. His 2025 album Elements Of Africa further developed that musical identity, bringing together Afro-house, deep house and more club-focused territory.

Expect a set built around deep African influences, percussive house and signature THEMBA productions as he takes over The Theatre once again.
