Female DJ rocks the air with love of Deep house

DJ Notrix, or rather Nomagugu Mubi, born and bred in Mataffin outside Mbombela, is one of the few female deep-house music producers the province has at its disposal.

She said she drew inspiration from her uncle who used to play a lot of house music. “While I was at university, I had a lot of friends who loved deep-house music and I then found myself falling in love with it, so I started to learn how to mix and produce it myself,” she said.

The highlight of her career was when she shared a stage with DJ Fresh, Lulo Café and the Naked DJ while in Ermelo in 2015. She said the response she receives from her fans and the people who listen to her music is very positive.

She said she looks up to Zodwa Mathebula, also known as DJ Zoe, for a lot of things in the music industry. DJ Notrix said she strongly believes in education, because it opens  your mind and affords you a  lot of reasoning capacity.
