Durbans Rudeboyz (aka Masive Q and Andile T) return to Goon Club Allstars to follow up their self-titled 2015
debut EP with new record, Gqomwave. Widely acknowledged as Gqom originators, alongside Goon Club label
mate DJ Lag, Rudeboyz raw, energetic compositions took the sounds of Durbans townships global back in
2015, opening doors for a whole new generation of South African artists in the pro-cess. They themselves hail
from from Mount Moriah, just outside the KwaMashu township in North Durban. The duos latest record,
Gqomwave, is comprised of four tracks, each bursting with the intense, driving rhythms and boundless energy
their productions have become renowned for. Gqom is again the core around which the whole EP functions, as
blazing sirens and charging beats play out on opener Major Turn Up, but subtle, stylistic nuances point to a
growing maturity in their work. The springy elasticity of Bounce Back and the sharp, stripped back drums on
relentless club burner No Mercy each offer different, smouldering takes on the Gqom sound, while final track
Asjableni features the gritty, hypnotic vocals of long-time collaborator T_D Snaxx who tragically passed away
earlier this year.
