“Balcony Mix Africa”, which sees the twin DJs recording a live set in front of audiences across the world for their YouTube channel, has been part and parcel of their global success over the past three years.
The platform’s success has seen them become frequently touring international DJs that continue to regularly play in far-flung countries like France, Italy, England, Ghana, and the US.
Earlier this year, they became one of a handful of local artists to ever play the prestigious “Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival”. They later became the first SA act to sell out London’s Brixton O2 Arena.
“Thank You London We ❤️ U 4L. You Were Amazing. Next Year We Do It Again..PIANO TO THE WORLD.”
Yesterday, their viral amapiano single “Bakwa La” featuring Nvcho and Mathandos was nominated under the new South African Music Awards category, TikTok Viral Song of the Year.
