“Stn” is a raw, no-frills collaboration between experimental producer ZVRI and Gqom heavyweights Distruction Boyz—delivering a tightly wound, percussive experience rooted in Durban’s gritty street rhythms. Unlike the melodic flourishes found in Amapiano, this track leans fully into Gqom’s industrial edge: minimal chords, dark sonic textures, and thunderous bass loops.
Omagoqa and ZVRI recently appeared on uZosala featuring The Ascension and DemiMa.
Distruction Boyz bring their signature warehouse-party energy, while ZVRI adds a refined Afrotech sensibility, giving “Stn” a modern twist. The track’s structure is minimal and fast-paced, making it ideal for dance circles and high-intensity club sets. There are no long intros or slow builds—it’s straight into the action, with pounding rhythms and aggressive syncopation that command movement.
Though it’s relatively short in length, “Stn” packs a heavy punch. It serves as a reminder that Gqom—while quieter in recent years—is far from gone. With producers like ZVRI injecting new life into the genre, this track signals a fresh wave of gritty, electronic African dance music ready to take over dance floors once again.
