TRENCH Magazine Adds DJ Lag’s Resident Advisor Mix to Its Top 10 Mixes Of The Week
“Last Friday, DJ Lag released his long-awaited debut album Meeting With The King. It was a long time coming given his near-decade of work as one of gqom’s most determined champions (he’s quick to name Okmalumkoolkat the sound’s true champion and earliest proponent). Still, it’s here now and to celebrate he’s been doing a victory lap […]
DJ Mag Names DJ Lag’s ‘Meeting With The King’ Album Of The Month
“On ‘Meeting With The King’, DJ Lag shows the versatility of gqom, and its importance as a unique form of music, rather than simply a sub-genre or passing fad.

MixMag Interview: ‘Life-Changing Encounters: Meetings With The Gqom King, DJ Lag’
“Aggressive, poetic, artistic, different. These are words that come up often when discussing DJ Lag’s contribution to the South African phenomenon known as Gqom. Unmatched in his ascent from rebellious bedroom beatmaker to his success abroad, reflected in the self-assigned moniker “international pantsula”, to being crowned “Gqom King”, it seems DJ Lag’s trajectory has been more expansionist […]
