Shimza, the South African electronic music producer and DJ, has released a new three-track EP titled ‘Sunset in Pretoria’ on his independent label Kunye.
The project arrived on 19 June 2026, shortly after Shimza launched a residency at Pacha Ibiza nightclub in Spain.
The EP features collaborations with producer Demayä, vocalist Thatohatsi, producer Jnr SA and singer Jabulani Majola. Across its three tracks, the release explores Afro House and South African electronic music through melodic, rhythmic and vocal elements.
The title track, ‘Sunset in Pretoria’, pairs Shimza with Demayä, a producer with ties to France and Dubai. The instrumental cut fuses melodic house textures with Afro House rhythms.
‘uMa Wami’ brings together Thatohatsi and Jnr SA, layering vocal performances and harmonies from different corners of South Africa’s contemporary electronic scene. Thatohatsi’s contribution follows a period of commercial success marked by strong streaming figures and chart placements in the country.
The EP closes with ‘Entle’, featuring Jabulani Majola. The track incorporates live vocal elements and a gradual arrangement that builds to a climactic finish.
The release comes as Afro House draws increasing international attention, with South African artists appearing more frequently on global festival line-ups and electronic music platforms. A series of live events supporting the project and the Kunye brand have been scheduled.
‘Sunset in Pretoria’ is available across major digital streaming and download platforms.
