Uniting two continents through music and creating unique sounds, UK-based award-winning DJ/Producer DJ Cable has collaborated with one of SA’s hottest artists Robin Thirdfloor. They team up on their new track Ungasabi. A mix between two elite genres known as Gqom and UK funky, their new and unique single is a first and must have for every gqom, hip hop or EDM playlist.
Introduced to Robin Thirdfloor by a mutual friend and having a love for gqom music, Cable whose real name Chris Painter, wanted to create a different sound that isn’t too different from what both SA and UK audiences are used to and one that will be enjoyed cross-continents.
“I got introduced to Robin’s music via a mutual friend, and just had to reach out to him.I’m a massive fan of Gqom so I sent over my UK-take on the genre, whilst bringing my love of UK Funky & Grime into the production process. He got the vibe and the result is this!” say Cable.
A boost of courage in the right direction, the song speaks about not being fearful and facing every one of life’s hiccups with confidence. A power statement and affirmation in one song. Fusing together the sounds of UK Funky, Gqom and Grime, Cable provides the perfect backdrop for Robin to flex his skills on Ungasabi.
“The song is about not being fearful. I touch on various references which emphasize that I’m not scared of any rapper in the game and I am not scared of any unfavorable situation I come across. The song is a power statement, on the chorus I rap “Abasiyeke senze lento ngenkani ungasabi” let them allow us do this by force, don’t fear. I continue to rap “ithina abenzi bezinto” which means we are the ones who make big moves.” says Robin.
Ungasabi is avaialble for purchase and streaming on all major digital stores.
