SA’S BIGGEST HIT-MAKERS GO HEAD-TO-HEAD LIVE ON CASTLE LITE UNLOCKS IN BED WITH…
An
extra-cold battle is coming your way on Wednesday 29 April 2020 as Castle Lite puts
two of the biggest music producers in South Africa against each other on the
third instalment of Castle Lite Unlocks In Bed With.
For
this episode, the brand is switching things up and bringing you a fierce row in
a battle of the beat-makers that will send chills down
your spine. Come Wednesday, 19:30 on the CastleLiteSA YouTube channel, DJ
Tira and DJ Maphorisa will go head to head during this epic star-studded
livestream hosted by DJ Zinhle and a performance by 2019 breakout star.
DJ
Tira and DJ Maphorisa will step into the ring, each with an armour of their own
unique sounds bringing influences from two distinct parts of the country into
one livestream. Episode 3 of Unlocks In Bed With promises to be an extra-cold
battle as both producers are highly accomplished musicians, record label
owners, DJs, hitmakers, have both been a part of a musical group and are known
to sing/rap on their songs.
South
African musical icon DJ Tira not only makes hits, but his record label has also
introduced South Africans to more hitmakers than be can counted. He is the
personality of any song he is featured on and with a 20-year strong career that
boasts awards, chart-topping hits year after year and record-smashing sales,
Tira is sure to be a fierce component.
Not
to be outdone, DJ Maphorisa has not only churned out the biggest hits of the
past 2 years, he too can boast about discovering the nation’s most sought-after
producers and DJs. Maphorisa has recently come to be affectionately known as
Lawd Phori, a name that tells you just how revered he is. Since his breakout
moment in 2013, he has worked with, and performed alongside top-rated musicians
around the world and also produced countless hits including his collaboration
with American super group, Major Lazer on the 2017 African anthem Particula,
which topped the charts across 17 countries in Africa and saw the official
music video garner over 22 million views on YouTube.
But
before they take each other on, the fun starts with a man who Okay Africa describes as “one of the
most complete artist packages we have seen in SA”. Pretoria-born superstar,
Focalistic brings his unique and ground-breaking fusion of Hip-Hop, Amapiano
and Kwaito sounds to the show as he sets the scene for the night. Focalistic is
armed with new hits from his recently-released EP, Quarantined Tarantino which
has become one of the dance music anthems of the lockdown.
And
who better to host and referee this extra cold battle of beats than “her
majesty, the queen”, DJ Zinhle. Sitting on 16 years of a successful career,
Zinhle is a prolific DJ, producer, businesswoman and author. Having spent years
grooming the next generation of female hit-makers through her FUSE Academy,
Zinhle has a refined ear for what makes a good hit. And not only will she host
the show, she will also close off the episode with a performance of her own.
Fans
are encouraged to back their favourite producer between DJs Tira and Maphorisa
and show their support via social media. It’s all up to the fans to determine
who wins the battle and who’s name can climb up the trends list first.

sure to catch this very special edition of Castle Lite Unlocks in Bed With on
Wednesday, 29 April 2020, streamed live to you at 19:30 (SAST) on Castle Lite’s
