If you’re in Durban, you know what gqom is; if you’re in London, there’s a chance you do, too. The broken-down, sparse South African house genre is a victim of that strange SA phenomenon Jumping Back Slash described so well in The Fader in 2013: where local music often finds international pockets of avid fandom, but gets little traction on its home turf: “I think there is a strange reticence to music that sounds like it came from this country in any way,” the DJ/producer explained. “It’s sad that people over here don’t realise how popular SA music is overseas. There is music made here that doesn’t exist and couldn’t exist anywhere else on the planet, and it often gets overlooked.”
