Major League DJz: Amapiano Trailblazers on a Global Stage
Hailing from South Africa, identical twin brothers Bandile and Banele Mbere, known as Major League DJz, have been at the forefront of Amapiano’s global expansion. Born in the United States to a South African anti-apartheid activist father, the twins returned to South Africa post-apartheid, where they cultivated their deep passion for music.
Their career boasts an impressive track record of collaborations with international heavyweights such as Burna Boy, Diplo, Ty Dolla $ign, Major Lazer, Tiwa Savage, Black Coffee, and Stefflon Don. Their forthcoming projects, including releases with Jorja Smith and Steve Aoki, continue to push the boundaries of their genre.
Historic Milestones and Global Performances
Major League DJz have also made history on some of the world’s biggest stages. In 2021, they became the first Amapiano act to sell out London’s iconic Brixton Academy. They followed up this success in 2022 by being the first Amapiano artists to perform at the prestigious Coachella festival. In 2023, their sold-out residency at HERE at Outernet in London and electrifying performances at Ibiza’s Circoloco, Day Zero, Lightning In A Bottle, and Afronation across North America and Europe cemented their reputation as pioneers of the global dance music movement.
The Legacy of Balcony Mix and Cultural Impact
At the heart of Major League DJz’s success is their groundbreaking Balcony Mix series, a celebration of African dance music that began as a lockdown experiment on a Johannesburg balcony. These high-energy DJ sets quickly gained a worldwide following, turning into a global phenomenon. From Sydney to Dubai, Brooklyn to London, their Balcony Mixes have transformed into major live events, uniting fans through the power of music. Their latest Johannesburg Balcony Mix drew an astounding crowd of 5,000, highlighting their ever-growing influence.
In 2024, Major League DJz continued to push boundaries by expanding their Balcony Mix events worldwide and making waves in the fashion world through their collaboration with BoohooMan, solidifying their impact beyond music.
Jorja Smith: The Perfect Feature for a Global Hit
Joining Major League DJz on “Come With Me” is Jorja Smith, one of the most celebrated British artists of her generation.
