South African producer and DJ Thakzin  releases his debut album Gods Window Pt. 1 .

The 18-track project has been in development for for sometime,with sessions recorded between Johannesburg, Cape Town and while on tour across Africa and abroad…talking to S.A BUZZ

Thakzin, widely regarded as the pioneer of the emerging 3Step sound, describes the movement as more than a genre – positioning it as a mindset and hybrid approach to music-making that emerged during the pandemic and gained traction with his 2022 track ‘The Magnificent Dance’.The album, which the artist frames as a spiritual and cultural journey, is divided into three thematic sections: past, present and future. It draws on traditional African rhythms, contemporary experimentation, and forward-looking interpretations of sound and identity. Thakzin says the project is intended as a cohesive “no-skip” listening experience, comparable to a layered meal, and symbolises continuity between ancestry, personal growth and future possibilities.

The second single from the album, ‘Imali Yephepha,’ has already been released. The track features a collective of producers including Atmos Blaq, MphoWAV, Suffocate SA, Citizen Deep and Divine Keys, with vocals from Baby S.O.N and Tete. The collaborative approach, according to Thakzin, reflects the broader vision of the album, which incorporates contributions from a range of artists positioned as creative partners rather than guest features.
