““Full of life and always putting a fresh spin on music and how to marry beats seamlessy together, Azuhl can rock any crowd anywhere!!””

— IRMA G, K-FM

““As a observer and reporter of the entire hip hop landscape in South Africa it is impossible to speak about the history of deejaying in South Africa without mentioning DJ Azuhl. His contribution towards the development and upliftment of the culture especially the Western Cape is phenomenal. Not only as amazing as a turntablist but also as social activist, radio and television presenter and role model. As member of the DJ collective, The Beat Bangaz, they were responsible for the first ever mixed, HYPE SESSIONS cd, that was released in August 2007. A truly ground breaking initiative for Hype Magazine who have a readership that extends to the entire Sub Saharan region in Africa. Through all of his achievements and accolades he always conducts himself with the utmost humility and proffesionalism that deserves nothing less than legendary status.” ”

— SIMONE HARRIS, HYPE MAGAZINE

"DJ Azuhl is one of South Africa's hip hop pioneers in my opinion. Emerging out of Mitchell's Plain under the wings of Ready D (P.O.C), Shaheen Ariefdien (P.O.C) and having helped shaped B.V.K (Brasse Vannie Kaap) with Mr.FAT into the legendary group that forever changed the face of South African hip hop, he has gone to establish himself as a premier DJ and turntablist. What sets him even more apart from the rest is his social activism as using hip hop as a tool to mobilize township youth."

— Adam Haupt , Senior Lecturer - Film and Media Studies UCT

““One of the most focused and dedicated DJ’s who’s proved his staying power ability. Not only is he true to the DJ artform but a competent ambassador for hip hop. His allegiance to hip hop and his community is what sets him apart from an over saturated pool of fly by nights. “ ”

— DJ Ready D, GHFM, Beat Bangaz

"Nowadays you can't believe everyone who says they're into hip hop and understand it never mind them saying they're a hip hop deejay. For a genuine love for the game that is shown in his willingness to give back on a regular be it through The Faculty of Hip Hop or bboy events, through his skill as a dj, Azuhl is in a class of his own. Not stuck in the old school he fits in learning what’s happened in the new school and building it on a solid foundation of his knowledge and strips from the old school and therefore taking it to a new level that we are all yet to reach.”

— Lee Kasumba, Y Mag

"Azuhl's turntablist stylings merge the best of coarse cuts with his razor sharp scratch skill that has one foot in a bygone era and the other in a futuristic universe. Dropping uniquely South African sets he always stands out in whatever capacity he commands crowds as a DJ."

— Matt Allison - SAMA nominated artist, producer & songwriter., Dockyard Studios

"African Shockwave Vol 1by DJ Azuhl is a fast paced project that will keep you dancing or simply bobbing your head - and the content is definitely diverse."

— Mic Critique, Hype Magazine

"African Shockwave Vol 1...A dope album with unexpected turns."

— DJ Raiko, BPM Mgazine

“ “Not just pioneers in Cape Town hip hop but also pioneers of the Afrikaans hip hop scene in the whole of Africa DJ Azuhl’s work with Brasse Vannie Kaap cannot be ignored.” ”

— Ilse Roggeband, 50 Stemme – Grootse name in Afrikaans musiek

“ “DJ Azul is a true South African talent. He brought a new audience to U.C.T Radio 104.4fm through his show G.H.E.T.T.O.P.I.M.P (Giving Healing Education Through Teaching One Principles Improving Mental Position) show. Promoting South African artists as one of his mandates makes him stand out from the rest.” ”

— Natalie Brandreth, U.C.T Radio 104.5fm

“ “DJ Azuhl is proudly South African and always makes sure he includes South African music in his presentations.” ”

— Ebrahiem Inglis, Good Hope FM

“African Shockwave Volume one, the first release of DJ Azuhl in collaboration with Grenville Williams (High Voltage) is described as one of the most anticipated album release of 2010. Previously with bands Nine as well as Firing Squad, bassist & producer Grenville Williams has worked as a producer for Moodphase5ive and South African female rap group Godessa. Teaming up with The Beat Bangaz & Brasse vannie Kaap's, DJ Azuhl, was the perfect addition to this mixtape album. “African Shockwave Volume one is a proudly South African product with a high international standard, setting the bar for future mixtape album releases” DJ Ready D – Iconic African hip hip pioneer, Radio and television presenter. African Shockwave Volume one is now available in stores (distributed by KMD), Rhythm Online and I-Tunes. For further information, with regards to African Shockwave Volume one contact:platformseven@gmail.com”
