With Guest: Pronounced "see-bar-tattoo" - sibaTHATHU is a DJ Collective based in Johannesburg, South Africa. sibaTHATHU specializes in Gqom, Techno, and Tribal music, and was officially formed in January 2023. The sibaTHATHU sound is a fusion of Techno, Bass, Afrotech, and an early 2000s South African sound called Tribal, with a bit of electronic infusion also known locally as “isqinsi”.
The collective has graced stages in several venues around Johannesburg, such as ANDclub, The Compound, Kitcheners, and Great Dane, to name a few.
