DJ Lag
DJ Lag, known as the “Gqom King”, is a pioneering South African producer and DJ credited with globalizing the raw, percussive sound of Gqom. Rising from Durban’s underground to the world stage, he’s become a driving force in global electronic music. His 2022 debut album Meeting with the King introduced “Gqom 2.0” — blending Amapiano, Afro House, and Afro Tech — and earned critical acclaim and a SAMA nomination. In 2023, his viral hit “Hade Boss” surpassed 20 million streams and achieved multi-platinum status. A frequent global headliner, Lag has played stages like Boiler Room, DC-10 Ibiza, Glastonbury, and Village Underground, and collaborated with artists including Beyoncé (“My Power”) and Novelist. With new releases like “Woza” and a bold move into 3 Step, DJ Lag continues to redefine the future of African club music.
