The bass was pounding, the crowd was jumping and the energy was electric. But for Martin Phihlela, was not just about music. It was about the experience of bringing people together through the power of sound. Martin had always loved music, but it wasn’t until he stepped behind the DJ booth that he truly understood the magic of a live performance. From that moment on, he was hooked.

Martin is a Disk Jockey who is well-known for his vibrant tunes behind decks and breath-taking organising skills. He was born and raised in the gritty streets of Chebeng, a township that lays on the road that divides Moletjie and Mashashane Pax, dubbed Matlala road, just outside the Polokwane CBD in Limpopo. Popularly known as DJy Abitersoul does not stop there, but also does an amazing job as the proud and energetic event coordinator of Makweya Bar Loudge ,one listed classic entertainment spot in Makweya, Moletjie.

DJy Abitersoul tells us that he has been a DJ for a beautiful 15 years. 15years of sweat, lessons, and an amazing 6years of bringing people together through the power of music as an event organiser, and his greatest inspiration is Black Coffee amongst other legends. “My passion for music kept me going and the will to succeed in this industry has been my pillow ever since, and I refused to give up when times toughen up”. says Abitersoul.

Some of DJy Abitersoul’s highlights is getting to share a stage with artists and DJs he has always been looking up to, hosted the best in the industry, and excelled when people around him underestimated and overlooked him as an local event organiser. It seems like Phihlela has had a lot of challenges in the industry and has learned from them and came out even more stronger.

In the next years, Abitersoul dreams of opening his own music engineering schools and share his experiences, knowledge about one of his favourate activities with young, passionate adults who wish to follow his footsteps and follow their passion. ” Many people view this industry as a quick buck making scheme whilst the truth been that, it takes consistency, dedication and passion of all to execute your dream of been into the entertsinment industry and win.

When DJy Abitersoul is off decks, not organising nor promoting after a long busy weekend, he says he enjoys Bra Eddie’s Pap and ‘Skopo’ sprinkled with some peri peri to reduce hangover.

We all start somewhere, Abitersoul is yet to take the Industry by storm despite the challenges he comes across on a daily basis.
