DJ Warras plans to make a comeback after taking a break from the decks.
The former Live Amp host (real name Warrick Stock) may be out of the limelight, but he sure has not been out of the conversation, as he often shares his opinions on societal matters.
Warras revealed that he stopped DJing due to the shifting South African music landscape, which no longer resonated with him.
Having studied the trends, he told TimesLIVE on 9 October 2025 that he's making a comeback by relaunching his DJing career just in time for the festive season. He hinted at aspirations of reaching global stages:
"I’ve been working in the studio with my producer. I’m on to Afro tech house, the sound which is making waves in Europe."
