Gqom 2.0 pioneer and undisputed king of 4/4 house music kicks syncopated rhythms and moody synth strings, DJ Lag enlists the talents of Gqom queen Bases Wodumo and International Pantsula, Mampintsha for the taxi-rumbling single, “iKhehla”.
True to Durban tradition, this dance fever record packs a punch of Kasi wit and a microcosm of lingo akin to the Kwaito, Gqom and Hip-Hop culture, paying tribute to the diversity of modern youth culture.
Rarely veering off the signature sonics rooted in Havana, Club 101 nightlife and Durban Taxi culture, “iKhehla” refines Gqoms underground origins and seasons the dungeon splendor with a global appeal.
