Woodblock DJz Ignite the Streets with Explosive New Kwaito Anthem ‘Stivovo’

Following a trail of chart-topping success, Woodblock DJz are back to shake the streets with their latest single Stivovo — a high-energy Kwaito anthem already fuelling a viral dance challenge across social media platforms. Fans across TikTok and Instagram are grooving to its bass-heavy rhythm and chant-ready hook, turning the track into one of the most talked-about drops of the season.

Reuniting with trusted collaborators Mzukwase and the ever-dynamic Abafana be Skuta, Stivovo brings the same electric chemistry that made their previous releases resonate deeply with fans. The creative synergy between the artists is unmistakable, once again proving that when these names come together, the result is a musical eruption.

Paying homage to the golden era of Kwaito, Stivovo revives the genre’s gritty roots — from thunderous basslines to sharply delivered township tales that speak to everyday hustle. But this isn’t just nostalgia. Woodblock DJz have masterfully reimagined the sound for today’s audience, injecting fresh energy while keeping the soul of the genre intact.

The new single comes on the heels of a career-defining year for the duo. Their remix of Skuta Baba went double platinum and became a cultural juggernaut, dominating playlists, taxi speakers, and dance floors across the country. That momentum was crowned with a win at the Metro FM Music Awards, reinforcing their status as innovators and trendsetters in South Africa’s music landscape.

Fearless when it comes to genre-bending collaborations, Woodblock DJz have worked alongside heavyweights like Cassper Nyovest, Kwesta, and Buzzi Lee, always blending their unique sound with the energy of other genres. Yet, through it all, they’ve remained true to their Woodblock identity — streetwise, unfiltered, and proudly South African.

At the heart of the group are core members Sicelo “ButterNutt” Nkomo and Mthobisi Vuma, with essential contributions from the Abafana be Skuta collective: Asanda ‘Set-Off’ Ncwane, Anele ‘Somlolo’ Mkhanyayo, and Mvelo ‘Mvelost’ Mthembu. Together, they form a creative powerhouse that continues to shape a new sound for a new generation.

Behind the scenes, Woodblock DJz are managed by SoldOut Media, a company renowned for guiding some of the industry’s most exciting talents. With a long-term vision and strategic backing, the duo’s trajectory is aimed far beyond just club hits — they’re building a legacy.

As Stivovo continues to light up social feeds and dominate dance circles, the message is loud and clear: Woodblock DJz aren’t just participating in the culture — they’re defining it.
