Newlandz Finest is an electronic music duo hailing from Durban, South Africa, who have carved out a niche for themselves in the Gqom genre—a style of electronic dance music that emerged from the South African house scene and is characterized by its minimal, raw and hypnotic beats. Comprised of two dynamic DJs/producers, they have been instrumental in the spread and evolution of the Gqom sound, taking it from local parties and clubs to international stages.

Their music incorporates traditional African rhythms with modern electronic music production, creating an energetic and infectious vibe that resonates well with their audience. With a string of successful releases like "uHambo," "iBus," and "Inganono (Remix)," they have not only contributed to the Durban underground scene but have also garnered a broader following. Songs like "Kumnandi Emhlabeni" and "ITHUBA" showcase their ability to blend soulful vocals with the intense, pacey beats typical of Gqom, while collaborations, such as in "Hamba Uyozama," demonstrate their versatility and willingness to bridge diverse musical worlds, connecting with musicians across genres to create fresh, compelling sounds.
