Guedra Guedra from Morocco has announced his upcoming album titled 'MUTANT'.
An exceptional artist, Guedra Guedra amalgamates elements of his North African roots with fractal dub, dissonant techno, and Afro-Futurist themes. As a producer and songwriter deeply connected to his environment, his music reflects the potential of contemporary African life.
The new album 'MUTANT' is an extraordinary collection of concepts, set to be released on August 29th via the Domino-affiliated label Smuggler’s Way.
"I wanted to create a cultural sound that ventured into innovation using African and diasporic music, alongside rhythm and bass vibes," he shares.
The album will be offered on white vinyl with a limited edition screen-printed cover, standard black vinyl, CD, and in digital format. Pre-orders can be made here: Dom Mart | Digital.
Interested in a sneak peek? The new track 'Drift Of Drummer' pulses with polyrhythmic vitality, evolving several times throughout its intricate listening experience.
Guedra Guedra elaborates…
"In African traditions, rhythm, particularly in its polyrhythmic form, transcends mere pulse or meter: it serves as a map of life. It communicates social intricacies, layers of oral history, community dynamics, and the spiritual aspects of existence."
"Transmitting this depth from one generation to the next through practice and listening also represents an act of resistance, preserving knowledge and sensibilities that mainstream narratives have often sought to marginalize or oversimplify."
Tune in now.
