Isgubhu, a Zulu word meaning “beat”, celebrates an evergreen and ever-growing set of dance and electronic genres and subgenres sweeping the African continent, from amapiano, gqom and Afro-house to kwaito, Shangaan electro and more. For the latest Isgubhu playlist DJ mix, Apple Music tapped Kid Fonque, a Scotland-born, Joburg-based DJ whose aim as a DJ, and with his own Stay True Sounds label, is to continue pushing South African house music as far as he can. “The music I chose for this mix is very much in line with what I’m excited about sonically in South Africa right now,” Kid Fonque says. “It moves from the raw, untapped talent of artists like Spotz to the colourful and forward-thinking sounds of Chronical Deep, as well as PAGEZ, Dr Feel and Beekay Monalayzzar. I also didn’t want the mix to only focus on house music. It was important for me to represent the different sounds I champion through Stay True Sounds and in my DJ sets across the country. There’s house, Afro, 3-step and music that sits somewhere between all of those worlds.” Hear Kid Fonque’s idea of Isgubhu and check back for more one-of-a-kind mixes.
