In a year that has already seen them headline some of the most prestigious festivals and stages across the world, Major League DJz have just earned a remarkable nomination at the 2024 DJ Awards in the Afro category.
This nomination not only cements their position as trailblazers in the global music scene but also recognises their contribution to shaping the ever-evolving sound of Afro-electronic music.
As South African music continues to influence the world, Major League DJz stand at the forefront of this movement. Their inclusion in this category alongside heavyweights like Black Coffee and Kelvin Momo is a clear indication that their unique blend of Amapiano, Afrobeat, and electronic elements resonates on a global level.
The 2024 DJ Awards, often referred to as the “Oscars of Electronic Music,” will be held on October 2nd at Chinois, Ibiza, celebrating the finest talents in the electronic music industry.
From the streets of Johannesburg to the stages of Coachella and Tomorrowland, Major League DJz have redefined what it means to be African DJs on the global stage. Their relentless touring, collaborations with international artists, and viral social media presence have created a massive cultural shift, bringing the infectious sound of Amapiano to audiences far and wide.
The theme of this year’s DJ Awards, “Unity,” could not be more fitting. Major League DJz have always used their music as a tool to connect people from different backgrounds, bridging the gap between continents with rhythm and basslines that transcend borders.
This nomination for the DJ Awards is not just another accolade. It is a celebration of their journey—one that began in South Africa and has since travelled to every corner of the globe. Major League DJz have become ambassadors of Afro-electronic music, pushing the boundaries of what African artists can achieve on an international platform.
In their own words, “This nomination is a dream come true. We’ve always believed in the power of African music to unite people, and to be recognised on this scale is a win not just for us, but for every artist pushing the sound of the continent forward.”
Fans worldwide now have the chance to vote for Major League DJz in the Afro category. Voting is open until 6PM (SA time) on Friday, September 13th. This is a moment for South African fans and global supporters alike to rally behind the duo as they continue to carry the torch for Afro-electronic music.

A movement that Major League DJz have helped shape with their innovative sound and boundary-breaking presence. Let’s vote, celebrate, and amplify their voice on the world stage.
