Labyrinth presents: Distruction Boyz extended set

An extended DJ set by the South African duo Distruction Boyz, presented by Labyrinth at Village Underground in East London. The electronic night centres on gqom, the style the pair have helped carry from Durban to audiences abroad.

Distruction Boyz are a DJ and production duo from Durban, South Africa, and their work has brought gqom, a style that grew out of the city's underground scene, to a wider international public. Their debut album, Gqom Is the Future, received gold certification, the first record of its genre to reach that status. Their single Omunye climbed to the top of the South African charts.

The duo previously played for Labyrinth at the Major League DJz Block Party, where they presented the hypnotic, rhythm-driven sound associated with their name. This London date is an extended set at Village Underground, a venue in East London that hosts concerts and shows across the city.

The evening suits listeners interested in electronic dance music and in the Durban sound specifically, since the programme is built around the duo's own productions and their approach to gqom.
