BIO:
Ahmet was born in Kardjali, Bulgaria where he spent his childhood. His introduction into music came from his father's obsession with electronic equipment. At 10 years old Ahmet was so curious about how the electronic equipment worked that he began assembling and disassembling some parts of the electronic goods in his house. At the age of 12 Ahmet made his first steps in his music career by making his own remixes which showed his passion for music. In 1991 Ahmet's family decided to move to Turkey; that was the beginning of a whole new life for him. 
 
He was going to school in Izmir, one of the biggest cities in Turkey, and in the evenings Ahmet was working in some ordinary bars as a DJ. After graduating in 1995 Ahmet decided to continue his professional music career and started working as a resident DJ in one of the biggest clubs in Izmir called "Club Marina". Later Ahmet wanted to make a difference in his life and continued his music career in different cities in the world working as a DJ in successful parties and organizations. According to topdeejays.com in Turkey Ahmet became the #1 DJ in "DEEP HOUSE",  #1 DJ with the most followers in YouTube and multiple times #1 on Beatport Mixes

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.

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!

BIOGRAPHY


  
In 2014 Kyle played at the first ever ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL in SA; he just wrapped up his 5th consecutive ULTRA now in 2018. We all know once you go global, you go big!
Between the years 2014 to 2018, Kyle performed in Ibiza, London and The Netherlands. Opening for DJ’s the likes of Franky Rizardo, Skitzofrenix and Jeff Doubleu. Succession development at its best!
 
And then...... in 2016 Kyle’s dreams became a reality when 5fm (his favourite national radio station) offered him his very own Dance Music Show every Friday night.
A year and a half later, The Kyle Cassim show has become the weekend party starter, the viral vibe that people tune into!  His slogan “dirty, filthy, stanky house music...... you know you like it” is a brand in itself and echo’s from the lips of listeners the whole weekend long. Kyle now has three shoes on 5fm, The Ultimix (Tuesdays 6 to 7pm), The Kyle Cassim Show (Fridays 7 to 10pm) and his latest project, Cassim’s Kitchen. Here we have a private view into Kyle’s kitchen, where he dazzles our taste buds with his culinary skills and tickles our ears as we listen to the beats from his guest DJ. (yes ladies, he can cook!)
 
Kyle is inspirational; in 2015, he spoke at the Suits and Sneakers conference on following your passions and the actualisation of a dream! ( even if there are few monetary rewards )
 
“Local is Lekker” and Kyle has kept to his routes and loves playing at some of the most prestigious festivals and clubs in SA, where he has collaborated with some of the world’s biggest international DJ’s. Billy Kenny, Shapeless, Josh Butler, Robin Shultz, Cosmic Gate, Noir, Juilet Sikora, EDX, Sons of Maria, Mat.joe, Boogie Vice, Bass Kleph, Stimming, Hannah wants.... to name a few! Kyle frequently plays at Rage Festival, Wonderland, H20, Truth, Nicci Beach, Origin, as well as like minded festivals in Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
 
 
 
Who is Kyle cassim
 
Kyle exudes a trademark energy whilst performing. He gives his all to the process and acknowledges that “anyone can press play and mix behind decks” BUT not everyone delivers in the way that Kyle does and that is where the difference lies. He is enthusiastic about life, every element of it. He is eccentric and rambunctious and this shines through his music! His music elevates people! It makes them happy! It makes them feel something!
 
Kyle pays tribute, always, to his family! “My family is the reason I am where I am today, their support, their guidance, the values they instilled in me!” Kyle also has two remarkable, talented siblings (it must run in the family) who he is very close with. His younger brother Austin shares this same passion for music and so they established “CINIMIN” which showcases sets of their own production! (We did mention Unique!)
 
Kyle has been known to say; “As long as I have a roof over my head, good friends, family, food and the ability to perform, then that is all the happiness I need!”
 
It is safe to say, that these 6 years has seen, at large, the takeover of the SA Dance Scene by Kyle Cassim!
