Shimza

House, Dance | Ashley Raphala alias Shimza is unquestionably one of South Africa's brightest talents. The Tembisa-born DJ, producer and promoter’s musical skills can be traced as far back as the age of fifteen, fuelled by the support and encouragement from his family. His international music career is now growing rapidly on the back of touring and performing over the last few years in Europe and North America including New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Manchester, Sicily and many more. In 2016, Shimza made his Ibiza debut at Destino’s Closing Party alongside Luciano to much hype and immense acclaim. The South Africa born star was featured in a number of Spanish publications following his historic set and was hailed as a new rising star by Ibiza music and party authority Essential Ibiza. As he continues his journey Shimza has signed to a full music service agency which landed the DJ and producer a residency at the worlds biggest club Privilege, Ibiza, Spain. He officially embarked on this four-month blazing trail in June 2018 and headlined the SuperMatrXe parties every Thursday from June until October 2018.
