There are DJs, and then there are cultural architects. Major League DJz, the South African twin duo comprising Bandile and Banele Mbere, fall firmly into the latter category. With every beat drop, every curated mix, and now with UNTITLED AUDIO, they continue to defy genre boundaries, blending sounds not just for ears, but for souls craving something deeper than music. What they’ve done with this latest project isn’t just another set. It’s a statement. A migration of rhythm, a ritual of sound.
UNTITLED AUDIO is where the heart of Afrohouse collides with the precision of Piano Tech. It is not commercial. It is not algorithmic. It’s art. It’s sweat, nostalgia, rebellion, a sonic sculpture made from the influence of African roots and European rave. But to truly understand what makes this mix extraordinary, you have to go back. Back to how Major League DJz became the heartbeat of a movement.
Before the stages, the world tours, and the Amapiano anthems, the Mbere twins were kids growing up in Johannesburg, surrounded by music, culture, and a raw hunger to create something new. They weren't just influenced by kwaito or house — they were shaped by it. Their sound grew in townships, matured in clubs, and then exploded globally when the rest of the world caught up with what South Africans already knew: that these brothers were genre shifters.

Major League Djz - UNTITLED AUDIO MIX
Major League DJz
In the early days, Major League DJz stood at the intersection of hip-hop and local house. They had a foot in both worlds. But it wasn’t until they started blending those influences into a style that became uniquely theirs, energetic, soulful, experimental, that everything changed. Their Balcony Mixes, which started as a pandemic-era digital series, became not just a lifeline for music lovers stuck indoors but a cultural phenomenon. They made rooftops feel like raves, and sunrises feel like opening sets.
Now, with UNTITLED AUDIO, Major League DJz take a bold leap forward, or perhaps sideways, into a new genre fusion that’s less about trend and more about truth. Afrohouse, with its percussive roots and earthy soul, finds an unlikely but magnetic dance partner in Piano Tech, with its looping melodies and synthetic pulses. The result? A mix that’s both underground and universal, intimate yet explosive.
But what really sets UNTITLED AUDIO apart is its unpredictability. There are no tracklists, no major label instructions, no flashy guest appearances just for the hype. It’s a canvas for freedom. You don’t listen to this mix the same way twice. One moment you’re floating in hypnotic synths, the next you’re pulled into a deep tribal groove that feels ancestral. It’s not just DJing; it’s storytelling. And Major League DJz are master narrators.
The magic isn’t just in the music, but in the intention. They aren’t trying to be mainstream, they’re trying to be timeless. In a world obsessed with virality, Major League DJz are creating music that lingers long after the stream ends. And this isn’t by accident. These are artists who study sounds like languages, who understand tempo like emotion, who treat every mix like a manifesto.
Their global appeal hasn’t diluted their authenticity either. Whether they’re performing in Ibiza, London, or Lagos, the foundation remains South African. The drums, the log drums, the shakers, all of it echoes the streets that raised them. UNTITLED AUDIO may sound new, but its soul is ancient. It’s built from history, stitched together by future dreams.
So when you tune in, and you should, know that this isn’t just background music for a party. This is a live fusion experience that threads cultures, blurs genres, and redefines what it means to move. Major League DJz have once again proved they’re not just playing music. They’re playing with time. And in doing so, they’ve invited the world to dance in dimensions yet unnamed.
