Good morning, Vinyl Campers!
With only 123 days until the Vinyl Camp 2026 campsite officially welcomes all our vinyl and camping enthusiasts, here's the next spinner on the bill! 🙌🏽
Welcome to the decks, Buddy Vinchez Phetla!
Buddy’s journey began in 1999, with his love for sound evolving in 2003 when he moved to Pretoria and immersed himself in vinyl culture. A true 90s sound enthusiast, his sets fuse jazz, live elements, vocals, funk, disco, neo-soul, and blues, creating a mature and soulful deep house identity that moves spirit, body, and soul.
Throughout his tenure, Buddy has shared decks with Vinny Da Vinci, DJ Bubbles, Vibe Montez, Paledi, French Champeign, Corry Rascco, Scotch Flavio, Jazzman, Dratz Project and many more.
From House 22 and Horn Africa to Bar 9, Chicago Club, Urban Nights, and Soul Meets House, Buddy’s sound has travelled across Limpopo and beyond. Between 2008–2011, Buddy co-championed the Spiritual Deep House Sessions with Vibe Montez, the late Scotch Flavio, and Uncle Cblaster, helping advance South Africa’s deep house culture.
His motto? House music is a feeling - one that transcends the spirit, body, and soul.
We cannot wait to have him behind the decks.
