WELCOME TO MY OFFICIAL WEBSITE!

Dumelang Bagaetsho, I'm Tsholo Rabotsho.

When I'm not a Creative Director in advertising during the day, you can find me in the club rocking an unpredictable DJ set that spans from Gqom, Deep House, Soul & RNB or nostalgic House music. Based in Johannesburg, I've made my mark across various platforms as a DJ over the last 12 years, including Deep House SA's Podcast and regular mix DJ spots on Gagasi FM, YFM and YOU FM.

While my achievements are many, the ones I mention hold a special place in my heart. In 2017, I became official DJ for the South African International Film Festival, a role I reprised in March 2023.

I hold a passion for a good gathering and company, this has led me to curate my favourite lifestyle event, Brunch With Tsholo, which was showcased on The Morning Show’s lifestyle segment on eTV in 2022. Brunch With Tsholo sees its return this year in September 2024 for a Spring edition after a 2 year hiatus.

Beyond my DJ pursuits, I wear multiple hats as the founder of TR Concepts, a purpose-led creative consultancy. One of our notable projects is Que Sera Sera, an after-work event that takes place on the last Friday of every month, featuring an all-women DJ lineup curated by myself. Que Sera Sera has been remodelled into a DJ Workshop that goes around Universities in and around South Africa, teaching young women the skill of DJing and the importance of prioritizing craft, branding and mastery in the field of DJing.



Welcome to my world, where creativity, music, and passion converge.

I'm proud to serve as one of the four South African ambassadors for the Africa Rising Music Conference 2024, where I moderated a panel discussion on ‘Women Leading Music Culture’, featuring DJ and Sonic Curator, MamThug, Hip-Hop DJ, Coco Bown and Tumi Mthembu, Director of Envision Brands, to dissect where brands and women who DJ and curate events can meet to get the support we need to level the playing field for women in music.

Additionally, I occasionally lend my distinctive husky voice to TV and radio ads, showcasing my versatility as a voice-over artist under the management of Fine Tune Studios.

GET TO KNOW THE INTIMATE PART OF ME!

Real. Raw. Unfiltered. This Is The Human Side.









To New Beginnings

Clean slates. I love clean slates. New beginnings. Second chances. Or third. That’s the beauty of life. We get them everyday. With every sun rise comes a chance to start all over again. On a clean slate. A chance to do better. A chance to avoid the parts you didn’t like about yesterday and try something else, something new. Like a pair of new shoes, new starts can also be uncomfortable. The unlearning. I don’t know if I’m making much sense but basically, what I’m trying to say is – here’s to a new beginning.










Goodbye Durban

There’s something about 3am mornings. A balance between the minutes before your body starts to crash from fatigue, if you’re me or an hour or two before you drag yourself out of bed because capitalism is a bitch. You actually need to work to live. I’m currently listening to a song titled ‘In A Minute’ from Tumi and The Volume. I discovered it last week and I firmly believe that everyone needs to hear it at least twice before they hit the bucket.











Loss. Phew – Where do I begin?

You think you have had enough gut-wrenching scenarios at 28 until you’re scrolling on Twitter 30 minutes before a 2 hour DJ set, and find out that someone you held dear passed away. It’s 01:39, on a Sunday and these events occurred last week on this very day. If you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering, “then what?”. Well, God – number 1.
