About Us
DJ Choc and Chocs Pro Sound, the journey from his humble beginnings in Vosloorus to becoming an iconic figure in the South African music scene is nothing short of inspiring. His deep-rooted passion for music was sparked in the 1980s at his father’s nightclub, Dukes Place, where he was first introduced to the world of DJing and vinyl collecting. Over the years, he has carved out a unique space in the industry with his signature old-school style, setting himself apart in an ever-evolving musical landscape.
His influence extends far beyond nightclubs, with notable appearances on some of South Africa’s biggest radio stations, including Kaya FM, Metro FM, and YFM. A true vinyl enthusiast, DJ Choc boasts an extensive collection of over 170,000 records, underscoring his dedication to preserving the authenticity and artistry of music. His passion for educating audiences on music history shines through in his weekly hour-long vinyl sets on social media—an #edutainment experience covering multiple genres and their origins.
