🎧 The TSA Playlist – 15 August 2025
This week on Talent Showcase Africa, we’re proud to spotlight the incredible sonic journey of South Africa’s own UPZ — a boundary-pushing producer/DJ whose genre-fusing style continues to redefine Afro-electronic music. From soulful house and Afro-tech to broken beat and deep-rooted collaborations, this episode is a full immersion into the SoulVibe Odyssey. Whether it’s the slowed-down elegance of Pure Surprise 2.0 or the ancestral pulse of Call of the Ancestors, UPZ delivers a carefully crafted soundscape that’s both deeply African and boldly global. To accommodate the full 60-minute experience, we’re hitting pause on the TSA Radio Chart this week — and trust us, it’s worth every second. Tune in and journey with us.
