Ibiza, Spain – This summer, Ibiza gets a powerful dose of African electronic energy as Shimza, one of South Africa’s most influential musical exports, announces his brand-new residency, “Shimza & Co,” landing at the island’s iconic Club Chinois every Friday in August 2025.
Known for his deep, hypnotic blends of Afro House and Afro Tech, Shimza’s month-long stint at the renowned Ibiza venue promises to be a defining highlight of the summer clubbing calendar.
Fresh off a series of high-profile collaborations – including his recent single ‘Skill of Love’ with Alex Wann, Elderbrook on the acclaimed album ‘Another Touch’, and previous projects with the likes of Aloe Blacc, CamelPhat, WhoMadeWho, and Louie Vega – Shimza is riding a powerful wave of global momentum.
His fast-growing weekly ‘Karma Karma’ radio show now reaches over one million listeners, while his live sets continue to captivate audiences worldwide, from his Boiler Room debut to standout festival performances and headline shows.
The residency at Chinois marks Shimza’s return to Ibiza, where he’s previously brought his Kunye brand – a visionary label and event series that has become a vital force in pushing African electronic music into the global spotlight. Kunye has hosted groundbreaking events from Johannesburg to London, including a legendary B2B set with Black Coffee and upcoming showcases like their stage takeover at London’s ‘High Lights: Enter The Realm’ festival in June 2025.
“Shimza & Co” at Chinois will showcase not just Shimza’s magnetic sound, but also a handpicked lineup of incredible special guests—to be revealed soon. Expect deep grooves, hypnotic rhythms, and a global celebration of cutting-edge Afro sounds in one of the island’s most iconic venues.
