DJ Costa
DJ Costa started out in the DJ world in 1981 while still at school, having studied the piano at the London Academy of Music. “I decided that being a DJ is what I wanted to be after going out to a couple of clubs called Bella Napoli, Q’s and The Dome.
“Bella Napoli was the first club I played in as a stand-in DJ, after which one of my first regular club gigs was at Club Donna in Alberton which then moved me to Club Fusion in V-Town, then on to the Thunderdome in Johannesburg, and landed me at which I now know to be the best club in SA and the first big turning point in my life and DJ career, Bella Napoli.
“1997 marked the second and most significant point in my DJ career (the opening of Bump Nightclub); and the beginning of what has now become my labour of love, the release of ‘Bump’ through RPM Dance. November 1997 saw the release of the first ‘Bump’ album, which went on to sell over 40 000 copies. This was yet another beginning to a new chapter: a beginning to what is now the biggest and most successful dance compilation in South Africa,” DJ Costa said.
