#34 - It's a bit of a nod to where we're from with Tokyo Sexwale

Joined by Tokyo Sexwale, the high-energy DJ duo made up of brothers Dane and Ryan, who are known for their infectious vibe and genre-blending sets. Originally from South Africa then growing up on California’s West Coast, they seamlessly move between house, acid, Italo, funk, and everything in between. Since their 2019 debut, Tokyo Sexwale has become a staple at iconic Sydney venues like Lost Sundays at The Ivy, The Abercrombie, Carousel, and The Island, while also performing internationally in London, Fiji, the U.S., and Nicaragua. Their journey has led them to support legends like Roger Sanchez, Anna Lunoe, and Luke Alessi, and with a background in film composition, they’re now focusing on their own original productions. Tokyo Sexwale is also the driving force behind House Plant, a thriving collective that champions local talent through pop-up parties, event takeovers, and a live mix video series. As they prepare for their second appearance at Lost Paradise and celebrate House Plant’s second birthday, Tokyo Sexwale is ready to kick off the summer with fresh energy. In this episode, we dive into their journey from house parties to headlining festivals, balancing day jobs with their DJ careers, and their creative work with House Plant. We also explore their aspirations for the future, including upcoming events, the rise of UK Garage in Australia, and strategies for booking gigs. Tune in for insights on collaboration, networking, and their unique approach to music production.Thanks for coming on , my first interview with siblings was so much fun and I look forward to everything you have to come.
