Jazzuelle, the South African deep house producer and DJ, will issue his new single “Be My Light” on 31 July 2026. The track is his first official release under Sony Music and serves as the lead offering from the forthcoming EP Umnikelo, due later this year.
A New Chapter with Sony Music
The single marks a professional milestone, launching Jazzuelle’s partnership with one of the world’s largest music companies. The move is expected to broaden his international reach while supporting the continued development of his career.
“Be My Light” will be available across all major streaming platforms. The EP Umnikelo is scheduled to follow, though a specific date has not been announced.
The Sound of ‘Be My Light’
The track draws on the signature deep house style that has defined Jazzuelle’s catalogue: soulful melodies, atmospheric textures, and carefully constructed rhythms. It introduces the emotional and musical themes that will shape Umnikelo, a project described as exploring personal growth, gratitude, and artistic evolution.
As the opening piece of the EP, “Be My Light” offers an early look at a body of work centered on expressive, introspective composition.
From Kwalanga Township to International Stages
Jazzuelle’s path from Cape Town’s Kwalanga Township to recognition as a respected electronic music producer spans years of steady output. He has built his reputation through studio productions, live performances, and collaborations with influential South African house artists.
His music has earned audiences both at home and abroad, leading to performances in multiple countries. Throughout, he has prioritized musical authenticity over public profile, a stance that has drawn respect from peers and listeners.
Artistic Approach and the Umnikelo EP
Rather than chasing short-lived trends, Jazzuelle’s work often features layered instrumentation, rich harmonies, and subtle rhythmic shifts that reward repeated listening. This attention to detail has distinguished him within South Africa’s electronic scene.
Umnikelo is expected to continue that approach, presenting a mature and reflective side of his artistry. The EP aims to foster emotional connection and thoughtful engagement, balancing sophisticated production with genuine feeling.
“Be My Light” will be released on 31 July 2026, with Umnikelo expected later in the year.
