King Maceeyar Meets Okzharp - Whatsapp's Greatest Hits
Regular price

The relationship between the 2 artists developed in one of the Whatsapp groups where young South African producers share Gqom tracks, hence the name of the release... in the words of Okzharp
"King Maceeyar’s tracks had a distinctive melodic sensibility and off-kilter emotional weight that captured my imagination. They seemed to reflect a kind of numb euphoria that just resonated with me and while I recognised most of the component parts, his tracks seemed to make the software sing."
The project files for the tracks on the release were lost when King's laptop was stolen but on receiving the demos Okzharp had a lightbulb moment after editing one of the cuts for a DJ mix he was working on and the collaboration was born.
In addition to the tracks themselves the tape is stitched together with short interludes made up of voice notes and field recordings of King's hometown of Shepstone which is on the coast half an hour from Durban.
Broadly speaking these tracks would be happy in a Gqom set but the unique musical thumbprint of King Maceeyar combined with the love and experinced ear of Okzharp make for something that's much harder to pin down!
