Get To Know Gqom with an Exclusive Track from Dominowe

Taken from the upcoming Gqom Oh! The Sound of Durban Vol.1​ compilation, "Africa's Cry" is a spooked our future classic.

A few weeks ago now we looked at the emerging Gqom scene, beaming and booming out of South Africa. If you had your interest piqued by it, or the film Noisey made with Stormzy, you're in luck.

Early next year, Gqom's first thorough UK-available compilation, the aptly titled Gqom Oh! The Sound of Durban Vol.1, drops on the Gqom Oh! label. Featuring 19 tracks worth of low-slung, dark, fractured house, it's a perfect opportunity to investigate exactly what's going down in one of the hottest genres around.
