If you’ve ever found yourself dancing to the beat of a song and laughing out loud simultaneously, there’s a good chance Van Pletzen was behind it. This dynamic duo, composed of Peach Van Pletzen and Matthieu “Nik Nax” Auriacombe, is shaking up the South African music scene with their unique blend of feel-good dance music and razor-sharp humour. They’ve been shaking it up for a while now, in fact. But don’t just think of them as another dance duo – they’re party starters, social commentators, and music video wizards all rolled into one.
Wit and Satire
Van Pletzen’s music is a delicious mix of infectious beats that get you moving, with an added layer of wit and satire that sets them apart. Their tracks are packed with feel-good vibes that make you want to groove, but it’s the way they layer in subtle humour and social commentary that turns their music into something truly memorable. With clever lyrics and tongue-in-cheek references, they keep things fresh, fun, and entertaining.

Visual Feast Videos
Van Pletzen also has a knack for creating videos that are as much a visual feast as the songs are an auditory delight. Satirical, quirky, and downright hilarious, their videos are an extension of the music – threading together comedy and culture in a way that’s totally their own. It’s no wonder they’ve built a loyal following of fans hooked on their style.
Van Pletzen is making waves and showing South Africa that you can dance, laugh, and think deeply – all at the same time. Whether they’re making you bust a move or scratch your head in thought, their music doesn’t just stay in your ears – it stays in your mind.
So, if you’re looking for a good time, hit play on a Van Pletzen track. Just be warned – you’ll be dancing and laughing before you know it.
