FROM JOZI TO THE COSMOS - BLACK VILLAIN DROPS OMNIVERSE
Black Villain—producer, DJ, vocalist, and certified sonic shapeshifter—is back with a heavy offering: OmniVerse – Compiled by Black Villain (Chapter 01). And trust, this isn’t just another house project. This is a journey, a full-blown frequency shift through space, time, and identity.
Known on the streets and in the spiritual corners of deep house heads as “A Universe on Its Own,” Black Villain's sound is equal parts Afro-futurism and soul science. She bends genres like light, laces every beat with intention, and wraps it all in the beautiful mystery of Blackness. It’s not just about what you hear—it’s what you feel.
Who’s the Villain?
Don’t let the name fool you—Black Villain is one of the good ones. A 2023 Basadi in Music Awards nominee (Nando’s Emerging Artist of the Year, what a flex) and 2020 Jozi 011 City Awards finalist for Best DJ, she’s been holding it down for women in the game with grace, grit, and pure groove. One of Mzansi’s most respected women producers, she’s leading the soulful resistance one banger at a time.
What’s in the OmniVerse?
This compilation is a hypnotic mix of deep, soulful, and experimental house vibes—each track layered like a painting, each transition smoother than a satin durag.
Standouts include her own "Friends" (and that haunting Secret Souls Choked Dub version) alongside heat from C-Blak, Coolkruger, El Payo, and WAPO Jije. Together, they build a vibe that’s spiritual, dancefloor-ready, and deeply homegrown. It's house, but with the volume turned up on emotion, intention, and cultural magic.
