NTS x Diesel Tracks SA Presents BEE – A Rising Star Redefining the Underground Scene

NTS x Diesel Tracks SA Presents BEE: A Sonic Force from Johannesburg’s East Rand

Born and raised in the East Rand of Johannesburg, BEE is quickly carving out her place as one of South Africa’s most exciting underground DJs. With a deep-rooted passion for house and techno, she’s part of the new wave of artists reshaping the sonic and cultural identity of the local electronic music scene.

Her musical journey began in her late teens, not behind the decks, but on the dancefloor—watching, listening, and learning. She was fascinated by the way DJs could control and elevate a crowd’s energy. Armed with DJ software and a fierce sense of curiosity, she taught herself how to mix, curate, and express stories through sound. Today, her sets are known for their spontaneity and emotional depth, often serving as raw responses to the vibe of the moment.

Though she mostly creates music in her bedroom, BEE occasionally works out of a friend’s pop-up studio. Whether mixing for small gatherings or spinning at warehouse raves, her performances radiate authenticity and creative freedom. Her style isn’t just heard—it’s seen. Fashion plays a key role in her identity, with each outfit carefully chosen to match the energy of the venue. From gallery openings to grungy basements, she blends thrifted fashion with reworked designs, echoing the experimental nature of her sound.

Outside the booth, BEE channels her creativity through painting, writing, and interior design—activities that further reflect her drive to express herself in every medium possible. But at the heart of everything she does is community. She’s not just mixing beats; she’s building connections, fostering culture, and contributing to a new chapter in the South African underground.

BEE is now featured as part of NTS x Diesel Tracks SA, a collaborative platform spotlighting artists pushing boundaries across sound, style, and identity. You can stream her exclusive mix on the Diesel South Africa website and experience her sound globally via NTS.live.

This is only the beginning for BEE. As she looks to explore music production and expand her artistic reach, she’s proving that the underground isn’t just a space—it’s a movement, and she’s leading it her way.
