Nyiko Maphosa Aka “Apple Jazz” is holding down the deep house sound in South Africa.  He is sure to continue to startle us as he has from the very beginning as with his first remix, the now-classic scratch on “Jazz partner”. His fusions, clamped to the beat of his unique, thundering kick drum, define his sound at every turn.

Through DJ-ing and the local scene, Apple Jazz found himself intrigued with the production element of dance music and soon began to create his own grooves.  The Apple Jazz sound, or the “one man mix”, as Nyiko calls it, is quickly becoming house music history.

During this cultivation process, Apple Jazz formed a strong bond w/ crew member Arnold Tempo and they have now joined forces in the studio to create the group Black Jazz.  They’re first release is soon to drop on RealDEEP Recordings.
