"Over the past six years, DJ Toxxyk has been at the forefront of Rwandan music and the entertainment industry at large by providing us with the best music and mixes with his disk jockey skills, while playing at our biggest events and clubs. This will be the right time to give back what he has been doing by celebrating with him this journey,” Intore says.

DJ Toxxyk’s career has seen him take his disc jockeying skills to different cities such as Brussels, Dubai, Paris and many others. 

Talking to The New Times, the local DJ says that this event is a space to celebrate the achievement of Rwandan talent, as well as inspire anyone who wants to start a disc jockeying career. 

The ‘Wenda’ hit-maker also notes that he will début some of his exclusive projects at the event including a five-track extended play (EP) which features different musicians including his late friend, DJ Miller, alongside merging artistes like Ariel Ways, Juno Kizigenza, Ange Mutoni, to mention a few.

"The past six years was an exciting journey with a lot of ups and downs, but we managed to push our music and it’s now growing at a good pace,” DJ Toxxyk says, adding, "This event will be special because I will be the only one playing music from the first minute to the end. Let’s all come early and celebrate good music.”

The renowned DJ who produced different hits like ‘Nyunvira’ and ‘Pull Up’ also clarifies that his fans will be able to buy some collections of his brand at the event including t-shirts and hoodies with ‘The Toxxyk Experience’ logo.
