  • The sound of South Africa’s latest dance music craze is rough, rugged and raw: a mutation of low-slung, lo-fi house music known as gqom. What originated in the townships of Durban and in the bedroom studios of a group of young local producers soon took over the city’s dance hall’s and taxi stereos, before the rest of the world caught on. European label owners such as Moleskin of Goon Club Allstars and Nan Kolè of Gqom Oh! have been instrumental in bringing the gqom sound to a wider audience, but the creative heart of the scene remains firmly rooted in Durban. After documenting the rise of gqom culture in our H∆SHTAG$ video series, we’re thrilled to bring a number of pioneering gqom artists to the U.S. for the first time, as part of Red Bull Music Academy Festival New York – including DJ Lag, Rudeboyz and DJ Twitty.
