The gqom pioneer is also set to tour in the next few months hitting events around the world including Sonar Istanbul and an all-nighter at Berlin\u2019s legendary club, Berghain. The last single off DJ Lag\u2019s exemplary <em>Stampit<\/em> EP entitled \u2018Switz\u2019 embraces the way that music and movement come together to stir both body and spirit, on an international scale. <\/p>\n<p>Shot and directed in New York by Bon Duke, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mettenarrative\/?hl=en\">Mette Towley<\/a>\u2019s interpretation of \u201cSwitz\u201d is her response to the feeling that dance, and its ability to act as a mode of communication, needed a serious revisit, zeroing in on the essence of the moving individual in question. Mette is the performance artist known for her dynamic solo in N.E.R.D and Rihanna\u2019s &#8220;Lemon&#8221; video, and has since become the face of freedom in a genre that embraces just that. With just the right music, that freedom can be shared in projects such as this one, where she found DJ Lag\u2019s unique Gqom sound effervescent and liberating enough to accompany her and her collaborators\u2019 steps. Choreographed in collaboration with the dancers, this piece truly embodies the spirit behind the ritual of movement and collective power. <\/p>\n<p>Discover more of DJ Lag&#8217;s music <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/djlaggqomking\">HERE<\/a>.
