In a historic achievement for Ghanaian music, Solomon Obeng, known as DJ Loft, has become the first local DJ to be featured in Apple Music’s prestigious Africa Now Mix series.
“I was honestly shocked when I received the DM from the Apple Music Executive,” DJ Loft remarked. “I never expected it, and I feel incredibly honored to be chosen as the first Ghanaian DJ in this series. I’ve been mixing for years, and seeing how far I’ve come is a dream come true.”
Although DJ Loft was provided with a pre-curated playlist for the Africa Now mix, he has crafted an exceptional masterpiece, seamlessly blending and transforming it into a stunning mashup. He joins a lineup of renowned African DJs such as DJ Spinall, TXC, DJ Zinhle, Oskido, DJames, and DJ Consequence.

Describing his Africa Now Mix, DJ Loft said, “It’s a celebration of the heartbeat of our continent—a powerful fusion of Afrobeats, Amapiano, Afro-House, and African Hip-Hop. This mix blends rhythms, bars, and vibes that are shaping the new wave of African sound. It’s a nonstop vibe, straight from Africa to the world!”
