No stranger to radio fans, Euphonik has been on the air for the last decade, initially with a gig at
YFM and later joining
5FM. As an artist, he has produced numerous albums and has been nominated for, and won, a number of awards for his work.
During this time, Euphonik expanded his brand globally, jetting between major party cities - from New York to Miami and Ibiza - drawing packed crowds and sold-out shows while sharing stages with some of the top players in the business, including Tiesto, Skrillex, Avicii and Swedish House Mafia.
With expansion in mind, the decision to partner with a fresh, contemporary radio platform such as
947 came naturally to Euphonik.
“My years at
5FM presented an amazing journey but the time has come to open a new chapter, starting with
947 ,” says Euphonik.
Along with his hit,
Don't Wanna Be Your Friend, Euphonik has also just released
It's A Fine Day, already at number 11 on the
Shazam charts just under a week after release.
“Euphonik has built a powerful brand with an urban energy, and as the station that is plugged into Joburg, we’re very excited to work with someone who is so directly tapped into the parties in the city,” said
947 station manager, Ravi Naidoo. “We are thrilled to welcome Euphonik, and a new audience to Sunday evenings on
947.”
947 is a curator on Apple Music so fans who love the radio mix will be able to stream it shortly after the show.
In addition to welcoming Euphonik to the team, the station has re-jigged other elements of its weekend programming schedule to fuel the parties and pace of Johannesburg.
The Bloc Party with Sizwe Dhlomo and Mac G on Friday and Saturday nights welcomes mixes from some of the city’s hottest resident DJs including Saubomb, Da Capo and Dino Bravo and Franky.
