DJames has released a mix collecting the year’s Afrobeats favourites, titled “Best Afrobeats Mix 2024.” He is an award-winning international DJ and curator, and also works as a producer and music editor.
The DJ previously shared a similar mix to mark reaching 300,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok. According to the source material, his audience already trusts his taste, and this mix leans on that trust. Afrobeats moved quickly in 2024, so a year recap makes sense.
His catalogue includes edits such as the “All Night Edit” and the “Commas Edit.” Smooth blends keep the tempo steady, while the bass stays warm. CULTUR FM once praised his wordplay blends, a skill the material says shows up in his sets.
Names including Kizz Daniel, Burna Boy, Ayra Starr and Victony have featured in his 2024 sets. Tyla’s “Jump” and Seyi Vibez’s “Cana” also turn up in those sets, so the range is wide. He moves from Nigerian hits to Ghanaian favourites without breaking the vibe, making the mix feel like a quick tour of West Africa.
The material describes the mix as working because it feels like a playlist made by a fan. Although it is a recap, the edits keep it from feeling like a repeat.
