Uncle Waffles Inspired by Travis Scott’s Mosh Pit

When Travis Scott came to South Africa, the magnitude of his mosh pit left a strong impression on DJ and producer Uncle Waffles. In the aftermath of the show, she took to Instagram to express a fresh ambition: “So how do I get supporters to mosh at shows bc I’m VERY inspired.” This publicly voiced desire signals how much she felt compelled by the raw energy and crowd unity of that moment.

For an artist whose sets already merge performance with dance, the idea of inciting moshing represents a new frontier in her connection with fans. It suggests she’s not content with just sound and visuals, she wants visceral interaction, physical release, shared catharsis. By evoking Travis Scott’s dynamic crowd moments, she signals a willingness to challenge both her own performance style and audience expectations.

Though Uncle Waffles is routinely busy with touring, brand partnerships, and global engagements, she still makes it a point to return to South Africa when possible. On 7 October she performed at Spring Fiesta in Boksburg, where netizens showed her love and praised her stage presence, affirming that her local audiences remain invested in her artistry. She had also been in the audience during Travis Scott’s South Africa show, a moment she later referenced as inspiring her own ambitions for crowd energy.

Her career is marked by international milestones. She announced a 2025 world tour spanning Europe, North America, and Africa, with dates including headline shows in London’s Roundhouse and Forum Birmingham.

She also sold out her first international headline curated show in New York at The Great Hall, Avant Gardner. In 2024, she became the first amapiano DJ in years to headline Wireless Festival in London, an affirmation of her global rising influence.

This balance between global reach and local grounding makes her mosh‑pit aspiration more than a passing comment. She aims to translate her inspirations into tangible crowd dynamics, turning watching into participating, audiences into active bodies in movement.

By both returning home to perform and publicly aiming to channel the fervor she saw in Travis Scott’s set, Uncle Waffles demonstrates that her inspiration translates into intention. Her Instagram question was more than rhetorical, it’s a creative spark pointing toward how she hopes her future shows will evolve: louder, more kinetic, more united. And with a proven record of over one hundred international shows in a year, a sold‑out New York headline, and iconic festival slots, she has the platform and momentum to try.
