DJ Lag comments
“Making this album has been a real journey and I had a lot of fun making it. I wanted to experiment musically but also take the experience from dance floors I play for around the world into the project. I just hope everybody enjoys it as much as I did making it”
Following the success of ‘Meeting With The King‘, this album marks a bold step forward, featuring notable guest artists and hit singles like ‘Hade Boss’ and ‘The Re-Up’, which have achieved viral success and multi-platinum status in South Africa.
His journey from creating tracks on FruityLoops in Durban to becoming a globally recognized electronic music creator is remarkable. His recent Best Gqom Album win at the South African Music Awards underscores his impact.
From early popularity among Durban taxi drivers to captivating audiences at major international festivals, DJ Lag’s rise has been meteoric.
Currently on a world tour, he’s completed shows in the USA and is set to perform at Glastonbury Festival before heading to Asia in August. Despite his global success, DJ Lag remains connected to his hometown of Clermont, organizing local events like Something for Clermont.
