Our latest Wild City mix comes from Durban's quintessential Gqom icon DJ Lag who uses it to commemorate his first tour across India in February as part of Ultra SoulFlyp.

Born in Clermont, Lwazi Asanda Gwala aka DJ Lag is regarded as one of the earliest artists to popularise the thumping visceral sound of Gqom, a genre born out of South African variations of house music, across the peninsula and then to the world. With early works uniquely released over WhatsApp to get youth across the nation to dance to them, Lag counts collaborations with the likes of Beyonce among his career highlights besides being a genre pioneer and a flagbearer of the sounds coming out of South Africa. 

His Wild City carries the same qualities that define him as a producer: hard-hitting with an impeccable sense of building tension before a gratifying release all through an intricate control of the low-end. With tracks ranging from his own collaborations and his contemporaries, the mix highlights an emergent version of gqom which subtly shares influences with genres like amapiano.

Rebequita takes the helm of our Select series, delivering an hour-long mix full of diverse sounds that have shaped her eclectic journey. Expect high-energy blends of electronic beats, hyper-pop, and unexpected genres, as she merges sounds that defy traditional boundaries and explore new musical territories. The mix features recent favourites, unreleased gems, and tracks that break down the barriers between club music, experimental dance, and pop.
Known for lighting up dancefloors in France, Spain, and Mexico, Rebequita’s relentless energy has earned her a place at prestigious events like Lollapalooza and Les Ardentes, while sharing stages with the likes of Sammy Virji, Yung Singh, and DJ Babatr. Her bombatic style merges influences from global club scenes with a personal touch of adventure.
“This mix reflects what I’ve been listening to lately, featuring a variety of genres. I love blending everything into the same pot, exploring new artists and breaking down club barriers," Rebequita says. "Not everything is where it’s ‘supposed to be,’ and I love that. All built on a high-energy foundation, of course.”
In 2023, Rebequita launched ULTRA SUAVE, an event series designed to foster an inclusive, non-judgmental club environment, where dancing transcends boundaries and communities unite. Each ULTRA SUAVE event features diverse lineups, live performances, and a commitment to safe, supportive spaces for all.
