‘Emoko’ is a captivating afrohouse DJ tool featuring a rhythmic blend of deep, organic drums that create an infectious danceable groove.

This year, her track ‘Take Me’ was remixed by Manqo and has drawn attention from prominent acts like Keinemusik.
With the release of ‘Emoko’, Gina caps off a remarkable year. In October, she performed at ADE alongside notable artists such as Killamanjaro, VANCO, and Damian Lazarus, and also hosted a DJ workshop in collaboration with Pioneer DJ. Earlier, in July, she supported renowned South African afrotech artist Shimza at his Cercle event held at the Citadel de Sisteron in France (CLIPS HERE).

With a classical music background and experience in Cape Town’s vibrant music landscape, her debut album Lucid Theory was featured on Billboard‘s Best New Dance Tracks of 2021 for her work on the track ‘100ml’ (STREAM HERE). Her global performances include festivals such as Montreux Jazz, UNUM, and prestigious venues like Amnesia Ibiza and KOKO.
