Diepsloot DJ hopes for a positive response on his latest craft
DIEPSLOOT – Ndou said he was introduced to house music by a friend who taught him how to deejay for different occasions and different audiences.
Growing up in the dusty streets of Diepsloot, Rudzani ‘Ruu_DJ’ Ndou, always had a dream to become one of the best DJs in the land and entertain people.
Later this year, the local music DJ and songwriter will take one step closer towards his dream when he releases his first extended play (EP) that will have four tracks as an offering for music lovers this festive season.
Ndou said he was introduced to house music by a friend who taught him how to deejay for different occasions and different audiences.
“I grew up listening to different music genres and falling in love with music came naturally. A friend of mine exposed me to house music, we started playing at weddings, parties and at pre-school graduations,” he said.
“In 2013, we bought our own sound [equipment] and got our first gig at a local club that helped us get exposed to big events.”
Ndou currently works as a sound manager and music DJ at Mome’s Place, a well-known local pub in Diepsloot. He is optimistic that his EP will receive a positive response from the public and music lovers.
“My passion is to entertain and serve people with good music. My previous single, titled Umuntu Omnyama [black man] in which I featured the late Nomsa, didn’t make it onto the airwaves. In 2014, I joined Mome’s team and since, never turned back.
“I have shared big stages with big names, such as Rulf Gum, Lars, Rocco, Vinny Da Vince, DJ Fresh just to name a few.
“I’m currently working on my first Afro tech EP with four hot tracks which will be out in due time and I believe that people will love it. It will be available on all digital music platforms when it comes out.”
