This months show is all about the exclusives! We'll be showcasing tracks from our upcoming EP, and we'll also be spinning some unreleased tracks by DJ Lag, BnBoiz, Dee Traits, Spacepose and Kfunky. It's Is’qinsi to the world with Omagoqa!
Omagoqa - a trio creating new wave gqom with the artistic intention to always let the masses feel the indigenous authenticity of sound. Their music showcases a version of gqom coined as ‘uThayela’, which translates literally as “corrugated iron” and is used to describe “a rougher sound with a harder bassline that it is made for clubs”. It's a proud testament to a love of South African creativity and music. The group is made up of Andile Mazibuko (stage name Ma_A), Franco Makhathini (stage name KB) and Njabulo Sibiya (stage name Chase).
The trio has been together for over 7 years and are a collaborative team that have worked alongside the likes of DJ Lag, Que DJ, Zvri, Jimbo Soundz, Cultivated Soulz, Scelo Gowane, Madanon & Newlandz. Omagoqa plays a raw sound, it can be aggressive and dark, but there isn’t a moment when the crowd isn’t giving it all back. They pull elements from EDM, Electronic & Dance/House to bring their unique music to life, having recently released their EP - Feel The Bass.
