“S3” off The Gqom Trilogy by DJ Scriby.

The Gqom Trilogy advertises itself as an advertisement of the gqom sound. Maybe so. But are you hearing a little amapiano? That’s the South African house variant. Hump Day News has covered the emerging sub-genre a few times in the music of DJ Black Low and Teno Afrika. We hear parallels with the gqom sound.

Our highlighted track “S3” by DJ Scriby (there are a few DJs on the record) is glitchy dance track stuck on repeat. Hard-charging and intense, while still maintaining a bit of playfulness and keeping it 100% dancefloor. Definite amapiano vibrations. Have a listen and tell us what you think in the comments.
