The “twin anchors” of the Amapiano movement, Major League DJz, have achieved a career-defining milestone. On 19 March 2026, the duo officially announced their upcoming summer residency at the prestigious Chinois Ibiza, marking a new chapter for African electronic music on the global stage.
“The Mask of Africa”: A Cultural Mission
For the twin brothers, this residency is more than just a series of high-profile gigs; it is a manifestation of a long-held dream to bring African culture to the world’s premier party destination.
“A dream that once felt impossible. Just twin brothers who believed in their purpose and their culture. Now it’s happening.” — Major League DJz
The duo has branded this next phase as “The Mask of Africa,” signaling a deep focus on Afro House and the continued global expansion of the Amapiano sound.
Why Ibiza Matters
Ibiza has long been the “North Star” for electronic music artists. A residency at a venue like Chinois Ibiza—known for its sophisticated atmosphere and world-class sound—places the Major League DJz in the same stratosphere as the world’s most elite DJs. It validates the commercial and cultural viability of South African dance music in a highly competitive international market.
The Journey So Far
Over the past few years, the Major League DJz have been relentless in their pursuit of international recognition. From their viral “Balcony Mix” sessions to sold-out shows in London and New York, this residency is the culmination of years spent blending local rhythmic heritage with global appeal.
