Guedra Guedra Releases New Single “Tamayyurt"

Today Guedra Guedra, the electronic music project of Moroccan producer Abdellah M. Hassak, shares his newest single “Tamayyurt,” off his sweeping new album MUTANT, due out August 29 on Domino’s Smugglers Way imprint. “Tamayyurt,” which means “full moon,” merges its evocative electronic bassline with the vocals of an Amazigh singer from Agadir, Morocco named Foulane Bouhssine. The track is inspired by the cultural practice of Amazigh collective dance and music called Ahwach. Traditional instruments like a bowed stringed instrument called the rebab merge with electronic beats to create a hybrid soundscape. “‘Tamayyurt’ is not only a tribute to a cherished tradition but also a reinvention of it,” says Abdellah. “It’s a celebration of cultural heritage, capturing the spirit of joy and togetherness during moments of celebration, such as weddings, the new harvest season, or a warm welcome to visitors.”

Guedra Guedra MUTANT

Album | 29th August 2025

On his second album MUTANT, Moroccan producer Guedra Guedra 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,” Abdellah says. “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. 

Written, Produced & Engineered by Abdellah M. Hassak
Recorded at Guedra Guedra Studio Marrakesh
