Durban’s DJ Lag is a pioneer of the world-conquering South African dance music genre, Gqom, and his story is told internationally as the September cover star of world-renowned DJ Mag!
Having toured the world and worked with superstars, but also fought battles – against copycats, at home and abroad, and a changing dance music scene, DJ Lag announces his debut album “Meeting With The King” and talks about how these battles and South Africa have made him and how he’s looking to the future by blending Gqom and Amapiano.

“I always used to think that I was loved more internationally than here. But after the will.i.am thing, I saw that South Africans really love me. Maybe it’s just that they’ve never shown it before,” reveals DJ Lag.
“DJ Mag is now out online! The whole journey, the good and the bad. The collaborations, the travel, the songs, the friends, and the struggles. The story of a boy who wanted to drop out of school to make music and ended up producing for the biggest artist in the world. I am proud of my story and it’s only the beginning. Proudly from Clermont,” said DJ Lag.

According to DJ Mag, in 2017, during DJ Lag’s 21st rotation around the sun, DJ Lag was experiencing a moment that every artist dreams of but few ever reach. Gqom, the sound he’d been perfecting for nearly a decade, was finally getting its due recognition from the rest of the world, and he was the face of it. The DJ and producer had come a long way from tinkering on FL Studio at home in Clermont. He’d spent several more years testing out the sound in Durban’s teenage house party circuit and finally disseminated it in nightclubs all over South Africa.
