DJ TIRA ANNOUNCES SUMMER EP ‘MALUME WAY VOL 2’ – DROPS 20 NOVEMBER 2026
Gqom pioneer DJ Tira is officially ready to dominate summer 2026. He announces his brand new EP ‘Malume Way Vol 2’, set to drop on Friday, November, 20th 2026 – just in time for the biggest summer in South African music.
‘Malume Way Vol 2’ is DJ Tira’s summer offering – 6 fire songs, packed with hits, energetic durban sound, and the sound of the streets.
The EP is led by his highly anticipated single “Aphi Amajita” featuring Mawhoo, Zeh Mcgeba and TNS – a powerful, street-anthem with a commercial feel, collaboration bringing together the old school and the new school.
This EP comes at a perfect time. DJ Tira has just hosted a successful Ogagwini Gumba Fest, which saw thousands of fans come together in Obanjeni Sports Ground in Mthunzini for a day and night of sports, music, culture, and unity – a true testament to his power as a festival curator.
Now, as he prepares for his next massive undertaking – Day One Fest, to be hosted on 1st January 2027 – ‘Malume Way Vol 2’ serves as the official warm-up and soundtrack to the New Year.
“This is for my people. Malume Way Vol 2 is the sound of the summer. After Gumba Fest, the energy is still high, and we are now preparing for Day One Fest on January 1st. This EP is the journey between the two,” says DJ Tira.
‘Malume Way Vol 2’ features 6 fire songs that cover the full spectrum of Tira’s sound – from pure Gqom to Afro-House and his Signature Durban sound.
A special highlight is the new version of his classic single “Ngigcwale Ngawe”. The original featuring Boohle, Campmasters and General C’mamane was a fan-favourite. This new version now features Goldmax and Boohle – a powerful remix that brings Gqom powerhouse Goldmax into the mix with his signature sound, reimagining the song for a new taste and feel.
Other tracks on the EP are “Songena Ngo 4”, “Dlala Sbhengane” and a song to look out for titled “Tira’s Dance.”
LEAD SINGLE: APHI AMAJITA
“Aphi Amajita” is more than a song – it is a statement. Featuring Mawhoo, Zeh Mcgeba and TNS, With only a snippet released, the track is already being hailed as the anthem for summer 2026. Mawhoo brings her soulful, powerful vocals, Zeh Mcgeba brings his sabaribiro feel, TNS brings the soul, and DJ Tira brings the energy that will shake the industry.
This is the song the streets have been waiting for.
‘Malume Way Vol 1’ was a statement. ‘Malume Way Vol 2’ is a takeover. DJ Tira, the Malume, continues to prove why he remains the King of Gqom and the curator of South Africa’s biggest sounds.
With Ogagwini Gumba Fest in the books and Day One Fest locked for 1 January 2027, DJ Tira is not just releasing music – he is building a legacy.
