KWAICORE: KWAITO VS HARDCORE

From Kwaito to Kwaicore

A few weeks ago, there was no squeak of such a music genre (Kwaicore) and suddenly there's this outburst of Kwaicore EVERYWHERE... I mean jeepers it was even trending on freaking Twitter for Kwaicore's sake! So sure, I suppose some confusion is warranted on your part as to why everyone suddenly wants to khumbaya with Kwaito and Hardcore? Well...

Perhaps it's because THAT many people believe in Kwaicore as the new kid on the block and everyone wants a share in the returns when it becomes a success?
Perhaps it's an existing music genre that no one's consciously noticed until Creative Director Alex Sudheim coined the term?
Perhaps you're being sold a dream that I'm trying to make a reality to corroborate this fictitious Kwaicore story? *raises eyebrow*

For those not sure...

Kwaito is the fusion of house music with African sounds and a series of percussive loop samples, deep basslines and repetitive vocals.

Whereas Hardcore comprises the screams, chants, fast beats and drop tempos of a drum, accompanied by a series of octave leads, grooves and the distorted and amplified sound of guitar soloists in their element.

If you've borne witness to neither, this merely a feel so that you have an idea of what to expect in our upcoming Kwaicore Documentary on baby Kwaicore's first steps!
