Isgubhu: Lelowhatsgood

For Isgubhu, our celebration of Africa’s vibrant dance and electronic scenes, South African DJ, producer, writer, curator and LGBTQ+ activist Lelowhatsgood handpicks tracks from some of his favourite rule-breakers, including QUE DJ, DBN Gogo, Unticipated Soundz, DJ Lag, Desire Marea, Moonchild Sanelly and more. “These artists are inspirational to me,” Lelowhatsgood tells Apple Music. “I also love their approach to music—thinking outside of the box and not too clinical. People can be so afraid of pushing against the grain, and I love it when there’s a certain danger and bravery when it comes to music. The backbone of this playlist is gqom, which will always be my first love. It also shows off South African dance music in all its shapes and forms—from electronic and Afro-house to amapiano. This also shines a spotlight on the queer creative community, that doesn’t always get recognition for their influence in culture and music.” Hear something that moves you? Add it to your library.
