Liquideep Tease Comeback With Playful TikTok, Fans Go Wild

South Africa’s iconic house-soul duo Liquideep, the hitmakers behind Fairytale, Alone and Welcome Aboard, have resurfaced online in a way that has fans holding their breath for a long-overdue comeback.

A Soundtrack To The 2000s

Formed by Ziyon and Ryzor, Liquideep emerged in 2009 with their debut album Oscillations. Their blend of silky vocals, emotional lyrics and deep house rhythms defined a golden era of South African music. By the time Fabrics of the Heart (2010) and Welcome Aboard (2013) dropped, the duo had cemented themselves as staples on local radio, in taxis, clubs and even at weddings. Their sound felt both intimate and larger than life music you could cry to at home but also dance to on a packed floor.

The Disappearing Act

After a string of awards and chart-topping singles, Liquideep seemed to fade from the scene. Ziyon went solo, Ryzor kept a lower profile, and fans were left wondering if the pair had split for good. Despite their silence, their catalogue lived on, with Fairytale still spinning at groove sessions and on nostalgic radio countdowns.

“Rehydrated” And Ready?

This week, the duo broke their social media silence with their very first TikTok post a playful skit where Ziyon jokes, “They say we got liquidated, bra.” Ryzor laughs, and after sipping water together, they declare themselves “rehydrated.” The video ends with the teasing caption: “We missed you too.”

Fans Lose It

Mzansi fans wasted no time flooding the comments with nostalgia and hope. “A Liquideep concert would make so much sense,” wrote one user, while another pleaded, “Please don’t change your sound we are still here.” One fan summed up the mood with: “I used to pray for times like these.”

The post has ignited a wave of excitement, with many speculating about new music, a reunion tour, or even just the reassurance that the duo is still making art together.

Why This Matters

Liquideep weren’t just another act; they shaped a generation’s playlist. Their smooth blend of soul and house mirrored Johannesburg’s buzzing nightlife while also capturing the tenderness of love and heartbreak. For many, their music holds the same nostalgic power as kwaito classics and early amapiano tracks do today.

If this TikTok is the start of a real comeback, it could mean a revival of a sound that defined the 2010s and an overdue celebration of a group that helped put South African house on the global map.
