EZULWINI – January proved to be a myth this year and thanks to the standing
ovation ‘Omunye Phezukomunye’ viral song.
The new Distruction Boyz crew from Durban in South Africa proved their worth by
packing up Timbali Lodge on the first month of the year, which is always
‘publicly’ proclaimed as a month of financial crisis.
Distruction Boyz, who now call themselves ‘Kings of Gqom’, rose to fame with
their famous ‘Omunye’ track which set many hot spots on fire this past
festive season.
Over 800 jovial fun lovers attended the show which was courtesy of Timbali
Lodge.
The show was aimed at celebrating the inaugural visit of Distruction Boyz in the
country.
Fun lovers enjoyed every minute of the show.
Setting the pace during the show were the locally celebrated DJs, Twins Of A
Kind, who performed just after 9.30pm and they set the tone for the night by
dishing out Gqom sounds, which were the theme of the night, as per the main acts
of the nights.  They performed to a mature crowd which filled the general and
VIP areas. These areas were constantly at peace as each section knew where they
geographically belonged through the night, enhancing the light and jovial mood
of the night.
Also, Mr Las Vegas himself, DJ MBO, increased the music expectations of the
night by the flawless set that he rendered. He mainly played commercial house
and the now popular Gqom music and he kept the crowd dancing and expecting the
main performance to be on the same level as their popular song.
He started performing at 12:15am until 12:45am. He left the crowd yearning for
more as he played ‘Malume’ by DJ Tira, while handing over the decks to DJ
Calinda.
DJ Calinda rendered commercial house tracks to revellers and they received his
set well.
After a highly anticipated wait, the South African duo entered on stage at
2:15am and they were received with screams and hysteric dances by their Swazi
fans, as they were performing for the very first time in the country.
As the duo entered on stage, it was nothing but marvellous Gqom sounds that were
being dished out. Revellers danced throughout their performance.
