The Beyond U’S Afro-Tech music show, a local brand aiming to showcase the potential of Botswana afro tech space is expanding its wings outside the border. 

Since the start of the brand, Beyond U’S music show has set a platform for Batswana Afro-Tech DJs, both locally and those residing outside the country, to showcase their talent and shine in their own backyard. 

All three previous editions were all-local line-up with some of Botswana’s best Afro-Tech DJs. It has previously featured Botswana’s export DJs Kele, Tau as well as Tefo Foxx and Benny T.  The brand is an initiative by Tefo Phokoje, known as Tefo Foxx. 

Tefo Foxx’s vision of this event is to celebrate Botswana talent through such an exclusive music show.  When he started the brand, the Pretoria based DJ, had said the idea to have an all-local line-up was to build the brand, and later as the brand grows then include international features. 

Now, in its fourth edition after creating a considerable fan base and building the brand, Beyond U’S will feature Afro-Tech DJs from South Africa. 

The fourth Beyond U’S, which will be held at The Game City’s Horizon Marquee on August 10, will feature JNR SA, Darque and Lubonk from South Africa and they will electrify the night with Botswana’s Tefo Foxx, Hapex Guru as well as Deelow. 

Beyond U’S afro tech has created a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere for the genre’s lovers, continuing to promote the genre and African culture whilst also empowering local afro tech DJs and inspiring aspiring young creatives to produce quality and excellent local content that speaks to their roots and culture.
