The Top 25 Artists To Watch In 2025

DJing sisters Sana and Sehrish malix first started playing together in 2022, having begun their careers solo. Joining forces, the pair brought a multitude of influences and tastes together, ranging from Afro house and Afrotech to Latin house and baile funk, and the South Asian music they heard growing up. Since then, they have been working the London circuit, playing at events such as Piano People, Daytimers, Dialled In, Phonox, and KOKO, as well as hosting their own events, called faem e li.

This year has seen the duo hone their style and solidify their place in the city’s thriving Afro house scene, playing alongside both local and international stalwarts including Shimza, Emmanuel Jal, DESIREE, Supa D, Sef Kombo, Charisse C, Fiyahdred, and Hagan. Holding a residency on Rinse FM for two years now, Malix also played a number of the station’s summer parties, and turned their attention to producing for the first time, with unreleased tracks on the horizon.

Further cementing themselves as staples of the ever-evolving Afro house scene, malix ended the year with a South Africa tour, with dates running into January. As the duo spread their name and sound further afield, we’re excited to see what’s in store for them next year.
