In a world where artistry is often boxed into singular definitions, Uncool Angels refuse to fit any mold. Formed in May 2023 by the electric pairing of Nnana Nthangeni and Refrieca Consent Chiloane , this duo has taken South Africa’s nightlife and festival circuits by storm, one dance move and DJ set at a time.
What started as spontaneous club-busking has quickly evolved into a full-blown movement. Uncool Angels burst onto the scene as dancers in nightclubs, captivating unsuspecting crowds with their raw energy and magnetic chemistry. But it didn’t stop there, their natural charisma and rhythm extended beyond the dancefloor and onto the decks, where they now command attention as DJs who know exactly how to read and move a crowd.
Since their debut, Uncool Angels have graced the stages of some of the most talked-about events and venues in the country. From the Department of Transport Women’s Day Event, the vibey Room 130, to the ever-lit Lastborns Corner New Year’s Fest, they’ve made it their mission to bring unmatched energy and genre-bending sets to every stage. Their performance resume boasts appearances at hotspots like Cullinan Lounge, The Meating Lounge, MSB Spring Blow, Jams On Ice, and the iconic Durban July Marquees 2024, to name just a few.
Their sets are a fusion, flawlessly mixing Amapiano, 3Step, Afro House, and Afro Tech, a musical palette that mirrors the cultural richness and rhythm of the youth they represent. But it’s their unique ability to blend DJing and dancing that truly sets them apart. While one is behind the decks dropping heat, the other could be commanding the crowd with slick choreography. It’s a dynamic that not only keeps audiences on their toes but creates an immersive experience that’s hard to forget.
Why They’re Not Just “Cool”, They’re Uncool
The name Uncool Angels might sound ironic, but it’s a bold statement. It rejects conformity and celebrates the beauty of breaking rules. In an industry that often demands structure and predictability, Uncool Angels are writing their own script, loud, free, and full of rhythm. Their performances don’t just entertain, they spark connection and energy that lives beyond the stage.
Their commitment to evolving as both dancers and DJs is what continues to elevate their brand.Bridging the gap between audio and visual, tradition and trend, rhythm and rebellion.
As they grow their presence and perfect their craft, Uncool Angels remain focused on one thing, creating unforgettable experiences. Whether it’s at a luxe lounge, an underground party, or a mega-festival stage, Nnana and Refrieca bring the same fire that first got them noticed. The future is bright, and their wings are just starting to spread.
