The once-loved soulful house music duo Liquideep marked their comeback with an electrifying live performance.

The music duo, which comprises producer Thabo ‘Ryzor’ Shokgolo and vocalist Jonathan ‘Ziyon’ Hamilton, announced its return to the music scene on 24 September 2025 and has already begun performing.

Marking their return to the stage together after almost a decade, Liquideep came together on veteran presenter Thando Thabethe's drive-time show on 945, and Ziyon said that the time was right for them to return:

"We've been talking about this for three to four years, and it just feels right. We feel like we're ready to just come back and have fun."

The pair took fans down memory lane, performing some of their hits, like Rise Again. However, it was their performance of the smash hit BBM on YFM that sent social media into a tailspin.

Ryzor and Ziyon gave a lively performance of the hit song and took fans back to when BlackBerry and its nifty messenger service were the hottest things on the market.
