The Durban collective Gqom Oh! released a 20 track Commando Mixtape, a rich compilation inspired by the 'Commando' dance move.
The project features guest appearances by producers such as TLC Fam, Griffit Vigo, Citizen Boy, Dominowe, Julz Da DeeJay, as well as the Mafia Boyz. The collective also brought their official dancer, the talented Esi J.
Gqom Oh! said:
"As usual we are proud to represent the sound of Durban’s Gqom in all its authenticity: from the banging taxi kick style to Mgido, core tribe, Sgubhu, Gqom Tech and Gqom Trap."
The Durban underground scene has been capitalizing on the growing international interest in the sounds native to Durban. Commando Mixtape is a necessary contribution to that creative impulse.
