ˎˊ˗ for 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐅 gqom isn't a genre, it's a weapon, and he's firing it directly into the global club circuit. Born in Zimbabwe and now based in Amsterdam , he works in the cracks between scenes, taking Durban’s gqom, São Paulo’s funk, Baltimore club, and London’s basslines and welding them into something heavier, stranger, and impossible to ignore.

The impact of his 2024 EP Simulacra was seismic, pushing gqom's minimalism into a collision with the raw energy of Brazilian club music. The standout track "Durban Funk" became a global calling card, landing on Mixmag’s "Best Tracks So Far" in 2024 and lighting up playlists from Durban to Rio de Janeiro. State OFFF cashed that promise in full with his October 2025 debut album, Hard Currency, released via Relentless Records (Sony Music UK). Recorded across a 24-stop world tour, the album is a global gqom manifesto featuring heavyweights like DJ Lag, Bambii, Black Rave Culture, DBN Gogo, Rye Rye, and more.

State OFFF's meteoric rise was cemented when Mixmag named him one of the Top 25 Producers Who Defined the Year 2025. Placing him in the elite company of Skrillex, PinkPantheress, and Blawan, this recognition underscores his status as a trailblazing pioneer. His technical prowess and cultural impact were further solidified when his The Mix 084 feature was named one of the Best Mixes of the Year, proving that his "gqom everywhere" philosophy has fundamentally shifted the electronic landscape.

As 2026 unfolds, the movement evolves into the avant-garde with the debut of Umzimba at Rewire Festival, a hardware-driven audio-visual show where machine intelligence attempts to decode the "syntax of euphoria" into visuals of digital sweat and fatigue. It is a high-concept precursor to a massive year of touring, including landmark performances at Dekmantel Festival, Wildeburg, Outlook Origins, and Dekmantel Selectors in Croatia. In the hands of the new skool gqom king, the future of electronic music has never sounded more visceral, or more inevitable.

Rooted in breaks and bass, they take an experimental approach, blending field recordings and deconstructed drums to create dynamic soundscapes that move between leftfield ambience, electro and UK Funky.

ˎˊ˗ 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐚 is the moniker of Berlin-based, Brazilian-born sonic tinkerer Jose Teixeira.

Driven by a post-genre sensibility, his shapeshifting musical output bends tension, texture and groove through leftfield optics, playfully weaving his Latin heritage with elements of soundsystem culture into abstract, whimsical and kaleidoscopic club music.

Holding a frequent presence on underground airwaves, he has racked up appearances on Shella Radio, Radio Tempo Não Pára, Radio Radio FM, East Side Radio, Clyde Built Radio and Radio Buena Vida. On home turf, he hosts Uneven Oscillation at Refuge Worldwide, a show that knits together the narrative threads of Música Popular Brasileira from the 70s to the present, tracing tonal and sentimental parallels with adjacent sounds spanning post-bop jazz, progressive folk rock and experimental electronic music.

As an independent promoter, he curates events where community takes center stage, showcasing emerging local talents alongside established names of the underground such as Appleblim, Dangermami, Chediak, DJ Plead and ophélie. Now part of VINTENOVE BAILES, acting as a resident DJ and booker, courtroom drama reaffirms a commitment to amplifying diasporic narratives in underground electronic music.

2026 marks the release year of Liquid Absence: an off-kilter, tactile yet mischievous 4-track split EP with Frankfurt-based neeyuu.
