He has gained international recognition more prominently in recent times, rubbing shoulders with the likes of P Diddy and Swizz Beats, among others.

Coffee has also recently spent a lot of his time playing international gigs. He is currently playing a summer residency in Ibiza, while touring at the same time.
His first mix on the show which premiered on Friday 28 July included an exclusive track with Swizz Beats and Burna Boy, demo remixes of Usher’s “Tell Me,” and a guest mix from fellow South African DJ and producer Da Capo.
“It’s been amazing… Such a pleasure for me to have such a platform to share the music. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. Just to show people my music world and what my interests are, the other things I do. I’m gonna bring more stuff like, even classical music, stuff I listen to that inspires what I do every single day. Thanks for lending us an ear,” said Black Coffee.
