➕DJ Lag➕Saturday➕10pm➕ In just over six years, DJ Lag has established himself as a world-class sonic innovator and taken one of the exciting electronic music movements of the 21st century from South Africa into the global spotlight. Remarkably, Lwazi Asanda Gwala has achieved this while not yet 27 and while remaining deeply connected to the source of his creativity – the township of Clermont in the coastal city of Durban. The movement that DJ Lag has pioneered is gqom, a Zulu word meaning drum or hit, which he began making – using little more than FruityLoops – and playing while still in high school. Propelled by DJ Lag’s prodigious musical gifts, this defiantly geographically specific sound has also found a devoted – and fast growing – international audience with DJ Mag anointing DJ Lag “the globe-conquering gqom king” in a September 2021 cover story. @realdjlag @petermarks @djsolo_pdx
