What an honour to spin at this Last Dance of Music Appreciation Under the Tree at Growing OGs! 

We were celebrating the end of Chapter 1 at that incredible venue that held space for us to dance and spin throughout lockdown. Thanks Growing OGs! We were able to keep our skills sharp by you keeping us on our toes for all the events hosted until now. We are very excited to see what Chapter 2 has in store!

Shoutout to the DJs that we shared the line up with for this last dance

Playground Twins - Last Dance Under The Tree @ Growing OGs

One foot in front of the other, sometimes side by side, always moving to the beat, stomping in the desert, watching the dust rise and we stomp some more!

What an incredible weekend spinning in the Karoo Desert at the Place of Dreams! We played the 1pm slot on the Friday at POD1 with this set, starting at a lekke slow 105BPM to ease us into the musical journey of Friday at POD! 

A massive shout out to everyone that enjoyed this set with us, it was an absolute jol to lay this set down and get that dance floor moving and grooving. We added one or two vocal remixes that will tickle your memories in the best ways.

A very Merry Christmas Eve set at Deus Homestead in Hout Bay for the last set of the Twins Spinning in South Africa, filled with some gifts in all sounds and forms of tracks that don't usually make it to our mainroom sets, slow start as we gradually built up to a dance floor that had us moving tables out of the way for more space. 
The beautiful guitar overlay was a live performance by the incredibly talented Matthew Samson! Thanks for the finesse ekse maybru!

Playground Twins - Engine Room, Origin Nightclub Durban - Summer 2022/2023 Techno Set

This Track called “Before Birth” explores the conversation of what our souls were doing before we where born into this world. 
We believe in spirituality and the unseen world. A place where we came from before birth, and the place we shall return to after this walk of life. Before birth, did our souls choose this life? We believe.

Collaboration Production with DEENTR
Release Date: 1st Feb 2023
Label: Afrolux_records Cape Town

Before Birth - DEENTR X PGTWINS (Original Mix)

As night turned into day we went on a 128BPM techno and melodic techno journey playing from 4am until 6am just as the warmth of the sun was filling the dance floor complimenting the beautiful music moments we shared. 

We played a bit harder than our normal sound, pulling up some golden favourites of ours that we've had in the record box since inception, taking over after Berlin DJ Mal.Da dropping some 135 techno, so we had to keep up!

We ended emotionally with more euphoric heavenly sounding tunes from Lane 8 that left a strong feeling of love and affection for our Why Not family. 

see you at Afrikaburn'24

Playground Twins - Summer 2021 Under the Tree - Music Appreciation

What sets the Playground Twins apart is not just their music, but their unwavering belief in service as the highest calling.

In a world of fleeting fame, they’ve rooted themselves in a deeper mission: to uplift, to guide, to give without asking. Through their NPO, GrowingOGs, they’ve spent the last six years nurturing over 700 young dreamers—teaching them the language of sound and rhythm, opening doors to futures they couldn’t yet imagine.

Their journey transcends the decks. From taking free workshops to the far reaches of the Transkei to inspiring their international audiences, they’ve woven their craft into something larger: a movement that keeps the arts alive and thriving, even in times of adversity.

Every beat, every mix, every set they play carries the spirit of transformation—an invitation to evolve. These Twins aren’t just DJs; they are stewards of a musical ethos that dares to dream beyond the self, to serve the greater harmony of the world.

This is what it means to truly stand out—not just in sound, but in purpose.
