Born and raised in the small town of Benoni, The Cassim brothers Kyle and Austin have always been obsessed with House music since they were young boys. Growing up in household driven by dance, disco and house music it was inevitable that they would become Djs. But being a dj wasn’t enough, they wanted to play their own music, music that they believed in, music that awakened their souls. Thus in 2015 CINIMIN was born. A House music duo that would headline the likes of Ultra South Africa, H2O Africa, Rage festival, Sabor Festival ( Mozambique) and close to most night-clubs and events in Southern Africa. 

In the last 4 years they have won A DMA ( Dance Music Award ) for best dance record of the year and they have had not one, but 4 top 40 radio hits, Their recent one “ DURO” reached number 6 on the national top 40 on 5fm South Africas most loved commercial radio station. 

There are many dance djs and producers around the world, but what makes CINIMIN really stand out is their infectious energy and passion on stage. Whether they are playing to 50 people or 14000 people they have this way of connecting with the crowd. Their synergy and relationship behind the CDJS is unmatched. The way they move in synchronicity and play with the crowd is something you have to witness in person. 

If you have ever heard a CINIMIN record you would know that It was made with one purpose in mind, TO MAKE PEOPLE DANCE! Every track that the boys write is made with the intention to make the dance floor shake!

Able to play various instruments at the tender age of six years, coupled with his passion to listen, create and perform music was all it took for Samuel Mkhize to find his way into South Africa's booming house industry. 

While only considering music as a hobby, it took almost a year of convincing, from a close friend for him to officially debut on Deep On Deck: September 2016 as Sam Mkhize. Since then, he's had the opportunity to play in multiple events and among some of South Africa's biggest artists such as: TiMO ODV, Mogey, audiojerk, Kilopascal, Michael Douglas, Two Tone, Thatcher, RIKAY, Nique, Bassmental, Ctrl Room and many more. His distinctive production, influenced by the likes of: deadmau5, Skrillex, Stimming, Zedd, Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta, Steve Aoki, Benny Benassi, Oliver Heldens, Nicky Romero,  Avicii, Jon Hopkins, Uberjak'd, Clockwork, Billy Kenny, Kyle Watson, ClassSickKwl and many more has earned him the chance to release on multiple record labels.

Sam's goal is to impact and inspire anyone willing to listen, just as the artists mentioned above did for him. He believes all the accolades and acclaim come second to the joy he's able to give people, whether you see him on stage or simply listening in.

Sam would not be who he is without the teachings, mentorship and guidance from his older brother Sphesihle Ntobeko 'JubSoup' Mkhize [1990 - 2014]
