Apple Music drops new ‘Africa Now’ DJ mix by DJames, featuring Tems, Sarkodie, Qing Madi, Black Sherif, Rema, Asake, Others

Apple Music today released this month’s Africa Now DJ Mix featuring multi-award-winning international DJ, producer, curator and music editor, DJames.

“I’ve chosen a mixture of songs from newer talents like Shoday, Qing Madi & Fola alongside legends like Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy,” he tells Apple Music. “I’ve also featured some of my own productions from last year. Having records with some of these artists and being able to share them with the world is really the most special feeling for me.”

Recognised for his viral remixes and mixtapes, earning him the title of the “King Of Blends” his unique ear for music has seen him DJ for the likes of Drake, Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, Asake, Chris Brown, Adekunle Gold, Victony and more.

“Each year there are so many incredible talents emerging in Africa and it’s such an exciting time to be a part of the scene. I can see African music is becoming more global each year, with a lot of cross-genre collaborations providing interesting new sounds,” he says.

Known for hit tracks like “Love Me” (featuring Qing Madi) and “Avalay” (featuring Crayon), DJames has built a global fan base with his versatile sound, rooted in African and Caribbean music.

“I wanted to make a mix that people could enjoy anywhere, any time, and also one that they can come back to again and again. It’s a celebration of all the amazing rising and established talent in afrobeats right now. It was a real honour for me to be asked to put together this mix and I just hope everyone enjoys listening to it as much as I did making it!”
