Gqom Oh! present their first release of 2022 - an eight track EP from Dominowe. A prominent figure of the new Durban electronic scene, Dominowe has become known for his complex and original take on Gqom. Debuting on Gqom Oh! in 2016 with 'Africas Cry', followed by the widely celebrated 'SiyaThakatha' EP, Dominowe’s most recent release was the 2020 'Away from Home' demo album - a project that raised funds to rebuild his home studio after a traumatic home break in. Returning to Gqom Oh! with ‘UMTHAKATHI’, the new release see’s Dominowe take a fresh approach to production. Incorporating vocals for the first time, he also puts particular focus on melodies and baselines that will subconsciously make the listener want to dance, get up and ‘feel good'. Combining the two Zulu words thaka (mix) and muthi (medicine), ‘UMTHAKATHI’ has two meanings - positive and negative. Embodying the Witch Doctors who prey on suffering, but also the doctors who focus on care and healing, ‘UMTHAKATHI’ makes reference to the bewitching style of Gqom and Dominowe's therapeutic powers as a producer. ‘UMTHAKATHI’ will be released on limited edition CD (50 copies) and digitally January 29th via Gqom Oh!
