Producers Vukile “Vista” Zama and Sibonelo “DJ Catzico” Nqubuka have the world at their feet.

The Durban-born Vista and DJ Catzico met in 2011.

“At that time we were still trying to find our feet in the music industry,” said Vista.

“We had no fancy or professional studios or anything to start off. We ended up working in a bedroom.

“This is also where we spent years working and perfecting not only our craft but our working relationship.”

Ten years later they’ve produced hits for Zulu Makhathini, DJ Maphorisa’s Gqom Wave Volume 1 and Volume 2 in 2017 and 2018, and for DJ Tira.

Internationally, they produced Mr Real’s Legbegbe remix featuring DJ Maphorisa and Niniola, and Patoranking’s Available.

They described their journey as “a long, bumpy journey but here we are”.

“Over the past few years we’ve emerged as the prolific pioneers of the Durban sound called gqom.

“We’ve been fortunate enough to have worked with TDK Macassette, SC Gorna, Mlindo The Vocalist, Khandu Cash, Lindough, Love Devotion, Art Child, DJ Lusiman, Mondli Ngcobo and Moonchild Sanelly,” said Vista.

The duo have just released a single titled Intandane featuring Lindough.

“The song was released in the beginning of February. It’s about two orphans who struggled but end up winning in life. This month we’ll be releasing its music video.”

They’re also working on their next project titled World War.

“On this song we collaborated with international superstar Niniola and hoping to release it before June this year,” he said.

Vista said they’re hoping to spread their music throughout the world.
