Unticipated Soundz is a pioneering group of creatives at the dawn of a new era, pushing the boundaries of the sound and culture of Gqom as it consists of Sandile “MrBeats” Mntambo, Mduduzi "MduScabha" Xulu and Ayanda "Bravo" Mntambo. Back in 2016, they've made waves with independent releases with the likes of ‘12 Colours' and the unforgettable ‘Mgido KaMzukulu.' They originate a sub-genre of Gqom music called uThayela, meaning “corrugated iron”. This name came to be about because this sound would quite literally shake the roof, due to uThayela’s characterized rougher and bass heavy sounds. Originating in the vibrant area of Newlands West, Durban: Unticipated Soundz specializes in a wild and distorted variant of Gqom that's nothing short of unique. With their infectious and next-generational sound, they have ignited dance crazes on social media and stirred up club riots with their high-energy, ear-catching productions.
