Gqom originator Griffit Vigo to release next EP ‘Art is Talking’ on Belgian label Maloca Records. 

Following records from Farsight, Howie Lee, and founder Le Motel, Belgian label Maloca Records announce its next EP. The label’s ethos is to build bridges interlinking disparate yet like-minded musicians dedicated to blending organic electronic and acoustic elements, and on this occasion, Maloca invites Durban artist Griffit Vigo into the fold - releasing a 6-track EP, ‘Art is Talking’ on the 3rd December.  

Griffit Vigo has been producing music since 2004 and spearheaded the sound of gqom in the early 2010s alongside artists such as DJ Lag, Rudeboyz, Emo Kid, and Dominowe. Predominantly releasing on Gqom Oh!, it was Vigo’s singles ’Ree’s Vibe’ and ‘DJ’ that cemented his reputation and helped gqom go on to become something of a global phenomenon with its intense, heavily syncopated style of dance music filtering into the work of producers around the world. 

Launching Maloca Records in 2020, Le Motel aims to bring together a global network of makers which was highlighted on the label’s first compilation, Maloca Vol. 1. The release focused on a terrestrial and borderless percussive sound that has been bubbling in clubs and Le Motel’s orbit, featuring tracks from Nick León, OMAAR, DJ JM, Dengue Dengue Dengue, Coen, DJ N.K. and Tsongo.

"In EGM, I've created a subgenre of the GQOM genre that resembles the original sound but differs in specific ways. This new era showcases my creativity, incorporating different forms of House music with African sounds.

As a contemporary artist, it's crucial to have a unique signature or sound that accurately represents your true self, and EGM is that for me.

I find GQOM to be one of the most powerful and spiritual genres ever created, and it's gaining popularity as the years go by. I've also noticed that other genres are slowly entering the GQOM style, creating 'broken beats' that are a testament to its power and influence.

Late jazz/African A-frolic artist, Fela Kuti, emphasized the spiritual significance of music and the importance of using it well to live a life of purpose. When he said “Music is a spiritual thing. You don’t play with music. If you play with music, you’ll die young. When the higher forces give you a gift of music, musicianship it must be well used…”

As I've said in the past: It’s a culture thing—it’s a Zulu genre. It’s dark and dreary, but it depends on what kind of creativity you bring."

After introducing Griffit Vigo ‘the Gqom legend’ on the Originators EP on Gqom Oh! Records back in February with the percussive anthem Ree's Vibe and the historical track featured on MTV Base Gqom Nation documentary "Gqom 5” - Gqom Oh! is finally ready to release Griffit Vigo’s first solo single ‘DJ’ on a 7" vinyl, with on the b-side another Gqom viral Durban track coming from the numeric series "Gqom 6”. 
Griffit Vigo, a real innovator in the Gqom genre 
who grew up in Clermont and started to produce 
music around 2007, has attained a legendary 
status amongst his peers as he was one of the originators of gqom, inventing sounds as Umshanelo (meaning broom in Zulu) and chopping vocals that everybody then started to sample. 
Many of his beats were appropriated or sampled, so now the time has finally come for him to show his talent and unique style and inspire the listeners in the same way he inspired everyone in Durban. 
This single introduces his forthcoming album on Gqom Oh!, to be released in September/October 2018 entitled ‘Gqom is Alive’. 
As the Gqom sound has massively changed in the past year, taking over South Africa and the world, also by evolving into a more commercial-focused and melodic branch which derives from Sgubhu, Griffit Vigo’s intention is to keep the original Gqom sound as pure and authentic as it was when it was first birthed whilst still pushing the sound forward in the future.
