Live filmed DJ set by DBN Gogo back-to-back with Tyler ICU, two leading figures of South African amapiano, on the Allstars stage at Boiler Room x Ballantine’s True Music 10 in Johannesburg, on May 11, 2024. For nearly an hour, the duo trade selections b2b before the tightly packed crowd typical of the Boiler Room format. The set showcases amapiano, the genre born in South African townships around the turn of the 2010s-2020s, recognizable by its deep log-drum bass, piano pads and slow, hypnotic house groove. DBN Gogo, a pioneer of the amapiano scene and a figure in its international rise, and Tyler ICU, the producer behind several of the genre’s biggest hits, weave their styles in a continuous exchange at the decks. Captured and streamed by Boiler Room, the performance documents the vitality of Johannesburg’s club culture. The tracklist is not reliably documented.
