Tech Hub Music (Pty) Ltd is a South African amapiano and Afro-tech record label launched by producer and DJ Kabza De Small (Kabelo Motha). The label was publicly announced on 9 July 2026 at an event in Sandton, with vocalist and producer Jnr SA named as its first signing.

Trade press coverage of the launch, drawing on Kabza’s own announcement, confirms the founding and the first signing but discloses no ownership percentage, shareholder list or corporate structure. Tech Hub Music’s first release under its own phonogram credit is Jnr SA’s Dance To My Afro (24 July 2026, six tracks), distributed under exclusive license by Sony Music Entertainment Africa (Pty) Ltd, confirmed directly on Apple Music.

Kabza De Small also founded an earlier label, Piano Hub (Pty) Ltd. No source found by this desk states a formal relationship, shared ownership or merger between the two entities, and South Africa’s CIPC registry has no public search API available to confirm Tech Hub Music’s incorporation details independently.
