Tsao Tura Fela Episode 20 : Yolophonik

Описание: Yolophonik (real name Andrew Siphiwe Masondo) is a boundary-pushing music producer, DJ, and songwriter from Pretoria, South Africa. Fusing alternative R&B, hip-hop, and funk house into a distinct and genre-defying sound, Yolophonik has cultivated a global following, amassing over 900,000 plays on SoundCloud and more than 1 million streams across Apple Music and Spotify.

A creative force both on and off the stage, Yolophonik is the curator behind YOLO FM, an Apple Music-backed DJ series showcasing his fluid and futuristic blends. His innovative sound has led to collaborations with some of South Africa’s most acclaimed artists, including A-Reece, Blxckie, Maglera Doe Boy, The Big Hash, MashBeatz, and Phila Dlozi.

Yolophonik’s work has been spotlighted across major platforms such as 5FM (with Kid Fonque), the Bubbling Culture docuseries hosted by DJ Sabby, and publications like News24, Hype Magazine, iQhawe Magazine, and Bubblegum Club.

His unique artistic vision has also attracted brand partnerships with KFC (Streetwise Culture Crew), Relay Jeans (Sound of Denim campaign), and Nike, where he led a creative workshop as part of their Archive “Join Forces” campaign in Cape Town.

As a live performer, Yolophonik has brought his high-energy sets to over 100 stages, sharing lineups with global acts like KAYTRANADA (on the TIMELESS tour) and performing at top events such as Rocking The Daisies, Cotton Fest, Bacardi Holiday Club, and Feel Good Series.

Drawing inspiration from innovators like Tyler, The Creator, KAYTRANADA, Timbaland, and The Neptunes, Yolophonik continues to blur sonic boundaries—channeling emotion, rhythm, and forward-thinking artistry into every beat.
