His electronica track "Township Funk" was released on Warp Records in 2008.

The film "Future Sound of Mzansi" produced by Spoek Mathambo and distributed by Vice, features an interview with DJ Mujava in which he says that being arrested for marijuana possession resulted in detention in Weskoppies psychiatric hospital and being forcibly injected with drugs that have affected his subsequent music production.[11]
