She&#8217;s a member of femme culture collective\u00a0who\u00a0have been championing female-identifying talent and promoting equal opportunities across all formats since launching in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>After a well-received first EP, Ehua recently made a track for the great Nervous Horizon&#8217;s last compilation curated by label bosses TSVI and Wallwork.<\/p>\n<p>Because\u00a0her sets are explosive, we ask\u00a0Ehua to unveils her secret weapons.

It&#8217;s an 8-minute track with a very slow progression in which each sound brings in new textures that evolve and build up beautifully. It\u2019s gqom, but it cross-pollinates with sonic realms on the opposite side of the spectrum, I just love it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The best track of my favourite Durban\u2019s newcomer\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDark City\u201d by Citizen Boy<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2200522372\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=1294050650\/transparent=true\/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gqomoh.bandcamp.com\/album\/from-avoca-hills-to-the-world\">From Avoca Hills to the World by Citizen Boy<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDurban is a haven of raw talent.

He is such a brilliant producer, I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll bring gqom to new heights.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The best house music Track I\u2019m playing constantly at peak time<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCrowd Control&#8221; by Wallwork<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis is an unreleased track by Wallwork that I love to mix with DJ Lag&#8217;s &#8220;My Power&#8221;. It&#8217;s a super high energy track and the blend of the two\u2014with Beyonce breaking in\u2014works incredibly well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The best rap track I\u2019m mixing who blends perfectly with a gqom track<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBac +12 feat.

I saw a French dance crew called Paradoxal doing an incredible choreography for this song and I was hooked immediately.
