A producer at the top of his game - Kgopotso Malatji publicly known as IJ Talam - is a South African Dance and house music producer based in Johannesburg. He has been producing hit singles & albums for all calibre of artists, approaching a decade in the industry without relenting on hard work.

From his early rise to prominence, IJ Talam has been really determined to create the kind of music that sticks with people their whole lives. Focusing on the power of collaboration in the industry, by forming a solid relationship with  QualiSA, who is managed by Coded Media Entertainment Record Label. The hit songs that IJ Talam produced for Quali SA went on to being recognized by industry legends such as Cassper Nyovest, Kwesta and Mlindo the Vocalist when they shared a stage with Quali SA..

The respected producer dropped a project in July entitled 'One Thousand Euro'; an album made up of classics, from the song Sunrise to the street jam Rooftop. Features from the likes of XYZeed, Rato and Adelaide provides a rollercoaster of energy, taking listeners through different phases of reality from his perspective. IJ Talam classifies the album as Original, Diverse and Vibey. "The album is definitely worth a listen for everyone that enjoys great music. I'm thankful to the talents that graced this project with their genius contributions."- IJ Talam

He mentions trailblazers like Black Coffee, Kabza De Small, King Monada , Master Kg, Da Copa and many other artists as inspiration to his musical ambitions."I work tirelessly because of those pioneers,  they've showed me the possibility of going global. I'm really proud of their work and seeing how they've been raising the bar for South African music worldwide, I've been putting in the hard work for a long time and I'm not willing to back down until my signature becomes an autograph." he said

His team secured an international Remix for One Thousand EURO from one of the biggest electro Djs in Argentina - Dj Joel Reichert - a Dj, producer & remixer of electronic music from Buenos Aires. DJ Joel Reichert selected the very first song on One Thousand Euro to work on and he made the best possible remix for Sunrise feat. XYZedd. With this remix, he is hoping to reach a broader audience and also secure future collaboration with more well acclaimed artists. 

IJ Talam recently dropped a new track titled Heeh; a deep house song to help lift the spirit of people as we approach the holiday season. "If you are willing to get up and do what’s best for you and your family, this song is for you. It was produced in a special enlightening moment intended to bring light upon anyone’s life. The making of this song has been a special process for me, it helped me get over my ex girlfriend, a difficult time in my life. Hope it does the same to you!”- He exclaimed
