5 Mins with Culoe De Song

September 5, 2011 By IDM Reports

5 Mins with Culoe De Song

We grab 5 minutes with some of our favourite DJ’s and ask them… Well… Just about anything we feel like!!!


Young and gifted twenty one year old Zulu Boy Culolethu Zulu also known by his DJ name as Culoe De Song is signed under Black Coffee’s label Soulistic Music. He has been producing and DJ’ing his specialized version of World House music since 2007. His effect has taken the SA Dance scene by storm as he continues to grow his brand of epic African House with that unique touch that you haven’t quite heard before. If you are a fan you will know and love him for his contribution to the track Have Another One off Black Coffee’s second album. One of his own first releases 100 Zulu Warriors carries a distinct and fundamental importance for Culoe De Song with the song being a reflection of who he is and where he came from – a talented artist extraordinaire from Kwazulu Natal. He considers this track as the beginning part of the story regarding his impact on South African Music.
