DJs Thuli Phongolo and Slenda Da Dancing DJ have come together to form a duo called 2Faced.

Though the pair play in different fields/genres of amapiano and gqom, the recently announced venture seems to have been in the pipeline for a while. 

Thuli took to her Instagram timeline on Saturday to share they would be making their debut at the Lemo Festival (formerly known as the Macufe festival) in Bloemfontein.

“In ancient Roman mythology, Janus, the god of beginnings and transitions, gazed in two opposite directions, symbolising the duality of time, doorways, and endings. Just as Janus presided over the ebb and flow of conflict, 2Faced” brings together two distinct musical genres, amapiano and gqom, in a harmonious fusion.

“Meet the masterminds behind this musical journey: Thuli P, a renowned actress turned amapiano DJ, and Slenda Da Dancing DJ, an iconic dancer turned gqom DJ. Together, they bridge the gap between two powerful musical worlds, seamlessly blending the beats and rhythms of amapiano with the raw energy of gqom. Prepare to be enticed by this unique experience where two genres unite on stage, creating a mesmerising musical fusion. @2faced_sa invites you to embrace the duality of sound and embark on a musical journey like no other,” she wrote.

Thuli started her DJ career in 2017 after being mentored by DJ Ryno and DJ Zoe (who plays with Ganyani). She started a record label and signed herself to pursue her love and passion for music. 

Though not everyone might approve of her venture, Thuli is on a mission to live out her dreams. 

I’m giving myself my dream life while doing my dream jobs on another level,” she wrote in another Twitter post.
