Gauteng – The music industry and communities across Gauteng are mourning the loss of DJ Warras, a gifted disc jockey whose sound, spirit and dedication left an indelible mark on local music culture.
DJ Warras was more than a selector of songs — he was a storyteller through sound, a cultural bridge who understood the pulse of the streets and translated it into rhythm, celebration and connection. Whether behind the decks at community events, clubs, private functions or township gatherings, his music created moments that brought people together.
Known for his versatility and deep appreciation of local sounds, DJ Warras championed emerging talent while paying homage to the roots of South African music. He carried his craft with humility, professionalism and an infectious passion that earned him respect from fellow DJs, artists and supporters alike.
Beyond the music, those who knew him speak of a man who was generous with his time, supportive of upcoming creatives and deeply connected to his community. He believed in using music not only for entertainment, but as a tool for unity, healing and expression.
His passing leaves a profound silence in spaces that once echoed with his sound. Yet, his legacy lives on — in the playlists he curated, the artists he inspired, and the countless memories created on dance floors where his music brought joy and escape.
As Gauteng News, we extend our heartfelt condolences to DJ Warras’ family, friends, colleagues and fans. May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his contribution to local culture continue to inspire generations of DJs to come.
Gone but never forgotten.
