Natives presents: Funky Qla

On July 12th, South Africa’s genre-bending pioneer Funky Qla lands in London for his exclusive UK debut.

Straight from Durban’s underground, Funky Qla is the producer behind the anthems ‘Durban Funk’, ‘Utshwala’, and ‘Amagear’ — fusing House, Gqom, and 3-Step into a raw, hypnotic sound that’s redefining African electronic music.

We kick things off in the sun-soaked courtyard before moving indoors for a two-room takeover of high-energy, rhythmic, and soulful sets. Joining our headliner is a heavyweight lineup of the UK’s finest Afro House and Amapiano selectors.

From sunset to sunrise — expect heavy bass, soul-stirring vocals, and a celebration of rhythm, culture, and community. Don’t miss it.
