“Iqawe”, meaning “hero” in isiZulu, is a sonic tribute to inner strength and ancestral rhythm by South African producer Buddynice. Known for his emotive, spiritual deep tech sound, Buddynice delivers another masterstroke — a track that feels like a journey through both terrain and time.
Buddynice recently appeared on The Voice In Me.
This instrumental piece is built on a steady, pulsing rhythm, underpinned by dark yet warm basslines, and adorned with tribal textures, ambient pads, and minimal melodic elements. The result is a track that slowly unfolds, pulling you into a trance-like state, where every element feels intentional and meditative. Unlike club-focused bangers, Iqawe is a mood-setter — a space-filler between night and dawn, mind and body.
While it lacks lyrics, the storytelling is embedded in the structure — rising tension, spiritual stillness, and release — all wrapped in Buddynice’s signature clean, atmospheric production.
