South African producer/DJ Black Coffee is the latest artist to bring their live set to the home edition of NPR's Tiny Desk concert series. Joined by a full backing band and vocalists, the set perfectly blended Black Coffee's production with live percussion and keyboards.

After opening the set with his 2012 track "You Rock My World" alongside the song's feature artist Soulstar, he then followed up with "Flava" and "Wish You Were Here" from his most recent album Subconsciously. Filmed at the National School of Arts in Johannesburg, some of its students provided extra production assistance during the set as part of an internship program.

Black Coffee's most recent album, Subconsciously , dropped back in February, boasting features like Diplo, Cassie, Pharrell, and Usher on the track "Lalala."
