2018年，来自南非的腾巴凭借一系列高调的演出和音乐发行，在全球舞蹈舞台上崭露头角。今年夏天，辛巴将在伊比沙岛(Ibiza)的黑咖啡(Black Coffee)在Hi举办的派对上担任驻场DJ，在Ushuaia、Amnesia、Blue Marlin & Heart等地演出，同时还在其他20多个国家进行巡演。2019年初，辛巴在伦敦布里克斯顿02学院表演，为黑咖啡、墨西哥图卢姆的卢西亚诺和朋友们的派对热身，以及与尼克·范祖利一起参加巴黎时装周。在今年的迈阿密音乐周上，他在Black Coffee和All Gone Pete Tong的演出中演出，在那周的演出中，赞巴的布景被用作BBC广播1台的Essential Mix。腾巴的声音源自他的非洲血统，融合了当地歌手、词曲作者和打击乐手，创造了他自己对电子音乐的独特看法。他的“Paliva EP”和“Haai EP”都在2018年由Knee Deep In Sound厂牌发行，“Vuma / Lost”也在Yoshitoshi厂牌发行。备受好评的《腾巴是谁?》这首歌在他自己的Herd厂牌发行近一年后仍在Beatport的排行榜上。他的音乐得到了Black Coffee、Adam Beyer、Pete Tong、Hot Since 82、Damian Lazarus、Masters At Work以及其他许多世界上最有影响力的潮流引领者的大力支持。最近的单曲《The Wolf》和《iLEMBE》在坦巴最近的所有演出中都引起了轰动。 Themba's productions continue to break the mould and he has numerous fresh releases lined up for 2019. He is also in demand as a remixer, adding his magic to Paxx (Tulum) 'Djoloren' on Stealth and Deepshakerz ‘Tell Me’ forthcoming on Saved. In his debut year, 2018 saw him play the Resistance, Elrow, supporting Faithless on tour and the Corona Sunset festival all in South Africa & supporting Black Coffee on his UK tour. Other highlights included his residency at Hi in Ibiza and a Mixmag Lab Live in NYC both with Black Coffee. Themba also made his debut at Ushuaia, Blue Marlin and Pacha in Ibiza. Capturing the industry's attention, Themba has already featured in Mixmag, DJ Magazine Ibiza and DJ UK, Ushuaia Magazine, Faze and Deep House Amsterdam. His DJ mixes have featured on radio including Pete Tong's radio show, Apple Music's Beats 1 and Ibiza Sonica. Themba was also nominated for 'Best Newcomer' and this year is up for 'Best Breakthrough' at the Ibiza DJ Awards and has presented a short documentary for Beatport called 'Monitor Johannesburg'. Themba has been made an ambassador for the Bridges For Music charity in South Africa, something very close to his heart. Themba & Dubfire hosted a workshop for young students at their school in Langa, which aims to become a learning space and creative hub where these young, talented individuals are able to pursue their dreams and develop their music skills, both in production and the music business.
