Woza Bakzin & GoldMax’s Gqom In Black is a hard-hitting South African dance album rooted in the raw, percussive energy of Gqom. The project leans into heavy rhythms, dark electronic textures, and powerful bass, creating a sound that feels both underground and built for the dancefloor.
Woza Bakzin, GoldMax and Funky Qla recently appeared on CoshUpin featuring Zee Nxumalo and Ornica.
The production is driven by pounding kicks, rolling percussion, deep basslines, syncopated drum patterns, dark synth textures, chopped vocal elements, and atmospheric electronic layers. Rather than relying heavily on melodic instrumentation, the album places rhythm and percussion at the center of its identity.
Across the project, the mood moves between dark, aggressive, energetic, hypnotic, and celebratory moments, with the tracks using repetition and rhythmic variations to build momentum. The combination of Gqom’s stripped-back percussion and modern production gives the album a contemporary edge.
Overall, Gqom In Black is a powerful project that celebrates Gqom’s raw rhythmic identity while incorporating modern South African club production. Its heavy percussion, deep low-end, and relentless grooves make it particularly suited to dancefloors, club sets, street parties, festival environments, and high-energy South African playlists.
