The twin duo took to social media to celebrate the nod, specifically for their breakout international record, “Come with Me,” featuring the soulful vocals of British superstar Jorja Smith. Nominated in the Best Afro House category, the track represents the duo’s evolving sound as they bridge the gap between African rhythms and global dance floors.
“One of our first Afro House records to break internationally just got us nominated for the Miami Electronic Dance Music Awards. Thank you for believing in this new journey with us.” — Major League DJz
A Golden Era for South African Afro House
The Miami EDM Awards aren’t just celebrating Major League DJz. Fellow South African heavyweight Shimza has also been nominated in the same category, signaling a massive shift in the global music hierarchy.
Why this nomination matters:
- Genre Validation: Afro House is now recognized as a premier category in the world’s most elite EDM hubs like Miami.
- Crossover Success: The collaboration with Jorja Smith proves that South African producers are the new “go-to” for global pop and R&B stars.
- The “Balcony” Legacy: It validates the duo’s “Balcony Mix” strategy, which used YouTube and social media to export their culture during the lockdown eras.
How to Support the Movement
The duo has called on their “Major League” fanbase to help bring the trophy home to South Africa. Fans can cast their votes to ensure the Mzansi sound remains at the top of the global charts.
