Soundtrack of the Townships: Gqom

Soundtrack of the Townships: Gqom

By Philipp Weichenrieder on July 7, 2016

By Philipp Weichenrieder on 7 July 2016 in  STORIES

Some call it a hybrid of breakbeat and house, some call it «apocalyptic riot music». But for the producers from the townships of Durban, South Africa, Gqom is more than a clubmusic style.

Five Video Clips from Europe

Five Video Clips from Europe

By Giacomo Bottà on August 20, 2014

By Giacomo Bottà on 20 August 2014 in  VIDEO

Was ist Europa? Mitä on Eurooppa? Cos’è l’Europa? L’Europe c’est quoi? What is Europe? This is a good and confusing question. I actually have no idea anymore, so I started digging into popular music videos.

«Norient ist zu dem geworden, was die
Musikzeitschrift Spex in Deutschland
zeitweise einmal war: ein Thinktank,
der über den globalen Mainstream
der Minderheiten reflektiert.»
