11th August 2026
A Sound Rooted in Johannesburg
The new season of Bohemia Presents continues with another standout name in electronic music. On Saturday, 17 October, Bohemia Beach Club welcomes THEMBA, a leading name in South Africa’s electronic music scene, for a night bringing together house, techno and the unmistakable rhythmic influences of his African heritage.
Since making his breakthrough in 2018, the Johannesburg-born DJ and producer has developed a musical identity rooted in percussion, melody and powerful electronic production. His South African influences run throughout his sound, creating tracks and sets that feel distinctly his own.
For anyone looking to experience THEMBA in Dubai, Bohemia Presents brings his signature sound to Palm Jumeirah for a Beach Club Party surrounded by panoramic sea views and the Dubai Marina skyline.
From Johannesburg to the Global Scene
THEMBA’s rise has been driven by original releases, major collaborations and an international presence that continues to grow.
His 2022 track “Disappear”, created alongside Nico de Andrea and Tasan, surpassed 8 million streams, while “Give Me Something To Hold” with JACK BACK, David Guetta’s alias, added another standout collaboration to his catalogue. He has also delivered remixes for artists including Vintage Culture, Hannah Wants, Franky Wah and DJ Chus.
These releases showcase the depth of his sound. Atmospheric melodies meet powerful percussion and rolling grooves, allowing THEMBA to move between deeper moments and high-energy dancefloor territory.
That versatility has taken his music far beyond South Africa and connected him with electronic music audiences around the world. Now, THEMBA in Dubai brings that global momentum to the new season of Bohemia Presents.
The Signature Sound of THEMBA
Rhythm sits at the heart of THEMBA’s music. His productions combine the vibrant musical influences of his African heritage with contemporary house and techno, creating a sound that feels deeply rooted while constantly moving forward.
Layers of percussion build around deep grooves, melodic elements and electronic production, giving his tracks an unmistakable character. It is music designed not only to be heard, but felt on the dancefloor.
His performances carry that same approach, evolving through deeper rhythms, hypnotic percussion and bigger moments as the energy builds. For house and electronic music fans searching for THEMBA in Dubai, this Beach Club Party brings the full experience to the shores of Palm Jumeirah.
