 On his second album ‘MUTANT’, Moroccan producer Guedra Guedra aka Abdellah M. Hassak sculpts irresistible rhythms and sounds from his analogue synths and drum machines, blending them with percussive fragments, field recordings from Morocco, Tanzania, Guinea and more, gathered while travelling across the vast landmass.
 ‘MUTANT’ explores themes of identity, Pan-Africanism, Afrofuturism and decolonization, bridging the musical heritage of the continent with elements of techno, bass music and dub.
 “I created something energetic, where I could find my freedom to compose,” says Abdellah. “I wanted to have a cultural sound that explored innovation with African and diasporic music alongside the vibes of rhythm and the vibes of bass.”
 The songs on MUTANT celebrate the wealth of African polyrhythmic forms and also challenge how this richness has long been marginalized by technological tools and systems of thought shaped by Western logic and models of standardization.
 Available on CD and LP.
 Also available to independent retailers on white vinyl.
