South African Amapiano powerhouse DBN Gogo continues to cement her place on the global stage — this time by gracing the cover of internationally renowned UK publication, DJ Mag. Known for spotlighting the world’s leading electronic and dance music talents, DJ Mag has now shined its light on the unstoppable DJ and producer from Mzansi.
Taking to Instagram, DBN Gogo — real name Mandisa Radebe — couldn’t contain her excitement as she celebrated the milestone with her fans.
“Big Mama takes @djmagofficial 🫦 Thank you dearly to everyone who made this possible. My 1st International Cover 🥹❤️. We poured our hearts into this process so please give it a read,” she wrote in a heartfelt caption alongside her stunning cover shot.

From her electrifying sets to her genre-blending production style, she’s carved out a unique space in Amapiano — and now, she’s pushing its sound to audiences across the world.
DJ Mag, a respected voice in electronic music culture, praised DBN Gogo for her impact, highlighting how she’s championed the Amapiano genre while also empowering young African women to take space in the male-dominated world of DJing and music production.
