Apple Music launches its “Next Africa Now DJ Mix” featuring TxC
Apple Music has expanded its flagship African Music playlist and radio brand, Africa Now, to include a new monthly DJ Mix created exclusively for the platform.
The next DJ to create an Africa Now DJ Mix is South African Amapiano DJ duo TxC (Tarryn and Clairise), who have become global ambassadors for the genre, with their latest single “Turn off The Lights” (2023) continuing its viral run across social media as a track that offers a glimpse at the nuanced complexities of Amapiano.
“Embark on a delightful musical adventure as the vibrant rhythms and soulful melodies of Amapiano music blend seamlessly, creating a harmonious tapestry that transcends boundaries and elevates the spirit,” the duo tells Apple Music. “Experience the joyous fusion of beats and tunes that paints a musical masterpiece, inviting you to savour the rich heritage TxC uses to celebrate their musical journey.”
With their electrifying DJ sets, captivating dance moves and groove-inducing sound, TxC’s vision extends beyond music as they empower and inspire young girls to strive for greatness and push boundaries, regardless of where they’re from. On a mission to establish themselves as the “Daft Punk of Africa”, by infusing Amapiano with a neo-tech, underpinned by a soulful twist, there is no end to TxC’s creative ambitions.
