Dankie Boi is a fast-rising South African Gqom and Afro-house producer and DJ who has become a key player in the “New Wave” of Durban’s electronic music scene. Often associated with the powerhouse label Afrotainment, he is recognized for his high-energy production and his ability to bridge the gap between hard-hitting Gqom beats and the more melodic elements of modern house.

As of March 2026, he is experiencing a massive surge in visibility, fueled by a series of high-profile collaborations with the titans of South African dance music, including DJ Tira and Kabza De Small.
