about

The first offering is “Imvuselelo”, a revival of that “sweat the dragon energy drink through your pores while gyrating with strangers in a south beach taxi with neon lights” type of Gqom in the form of a 9-track compilation. The record features Gqom’s trailblazers from different facets of the dynamic culture, representing an equal split between the founding fathers and pioneers of the new school. Unticipated Soundz, German Kid, Spacepose, Papa J, Mr Beats, Chaos and MasterFlex all make their contributions to this hardcore gqom odyssey, making it a tapestry threaded with the new sounds of uThayela, uMgido, Step Down and UntiStyle. The compilation is sealed with a guest appearance from sultry Durban vocalist Senarh, who chants incantations on UntiChicks’ closing track “WTF”.

We would like to express our gratitude to the artists who have provided us with exceptional work, as well as to all those who have contributed to this project. Specifically, we extend our appreciation to Buyani Duma for your incredible wisdom and creative direction. Your ability to encapsulate the feel of the music so well on the cover art, as well as the amazing logo you created for us, is truly exceptional, siyabonga Simakade. We would also like to acknowledge and thank Nhlosoh Cele for your contirbution, vision and for championing the heaviest, psychedelic gqom sound. We eagerly anticipate working on the next body of work with you. Special recognition goes to Scratchclart for the lengthy discussions and invaluable advice you've provided. To our brother and visionary Atalio Wyss and our partners, the Dumbanengue crew thank you guys for your help and support in realizing this work we look forward to a bright future together and to our good friend DORMANTYOUTH, thank you so much for your endless support and everything my dude, also deeply grateful to Mina for the motivation, affirmation, and for holding the doors open for us! Big big love and appreciation to SWAK Berlin and SWAK Catalog for the motivation they have given us to continue with this record . Finally, we thank everyone who encouraged us to move forward with this project. Your support is greatly appreciated!
