Journey
Silly M is a South African house music producer who helped define the country’s "Tribal Soul" sound during the late 2000s. Originally coming to national prominence through his collaboration with DJ Zinhle, Silly M became a household name in the dance scene following the release of his 2009 hit, "Another Zulu." Featured on the multi-platinum Feminine Touch compilation, the track is widely regarded as a classic of the era for its seamless fusion of deep electronic house and traditional Zulu vocal samples.
Throughout his career, Silly M has been recognized by industry peers for his ability to craft atmospheric, rhythmically complex soundscapes. His work paved the way for the "Afro-Tech" movement, influencing a generation of producers to embrace their cultural roots while producing for the global stage. Today, Silly M remains a respected figure among house music purists for his role in anchoring the golden age of South African soulful house.
