The music in this week's episode is called Gqom Urban African. It’s my first attempt at gqom music, which is a global dance music style that originated in Durban, South Africa. It’s super-heavy on the rhythm.
In this episode, we check out:
Keeping dance music harmonically and melodically simple
The ever-present Eminem ‘Lose Yourself’ hip hop chord progression

ABOUT THIS SHOW
How I Make Music is a show for music producers, podcasters, audio drama creators and film-makers. Hey, I'm John Bartmann. I make music and offer advice on how to make it. My original music has been used in film, TV, radio and online. Each week, I write, record and release a new soundtrack. In this podcast, I deconstruct these original soundtracks one by one, sharing the separate musical parts, decisions and stories behind how each complete tune was made. Then, I offer understanding into that process to make your own productions shine!
