DJ Mag Presents is heading to Miami next month for Art Basel, where we’ll be hosting Uncle Waffles for a headline set at The Ground.
Taking place on Saturday 7th December, DJ Mag’s September cover star, the amapiano champion, will be taking over The Ground – Club Space’s ground-level venue – as part of the club’s Space Basel series.
Kicking off at 11pm, Uncle Waffles will be joined by a roster of support artists, who will be announced closer to the time. Tickets are available now via DICE.
Art Basel – Miami’s annual art festival that encompasses music, art, fashion, and design – takes place from 6th - 8th December. Between 4th and 10th December, Club Space – which was voted the world’s 30th best club in this year’s DJ Mag Top 100 Clubs poll – will host nightly events to coincide with the festival. See what else is on here.
In just three short years, Swaziland-born, South Africa-based Uncle Waffles has gone from playing pubs around Johannesburg to captivating millions of fans around the globe. A cultural ambassador for the amapiano movement, her thirst for knowledge, creative spark, and unrivalled work ethic have put her at the top of the game and helped spread the sound she loves worldwide.
Earlier this year, Uncle Waffle’s secured the title of the first amapiano act to ever perform at Coachella. For her DJ Mag cover interview, Makua Adimora learned about her humble beginnings, the viral moment that rocketed her career to the next level, and how she’s kicking back against imposter syndrome and sexist critics while speaking the universal language of dance.
