Azemad - Halal Rage [AML002]

Sami Baha’s third album, Mistarget, marks the inaugural entry for Amel’s catalogue, a new- generation label he co-founded in 2024 promoting a non-sectarian approach to what being a label is about. The EP distills Baha’s diverse influences as a globetrotter. Eclectic but effortlessly digestible, Mistarget blends dreamy synth backdrops and hip- hop adjacent beats with techniques borrowed from the post- clubbing world Baha is close to. Featuring his signature style of acute refinement-meets- unfamiliar detours, Mistarget is an exercise in sonic detournement, shaping familiar sounds into new forms. Club atmospheres and crescendos alternate with moments of repose, weaving intricate textures and palettes into an unpredictable sonic kaleidoscope. 

Reality kicks in with Hunt’s synth stabs and frenetic drum patterns, paving the way for an almost claustrophobic melody and Baha’s signature deeper- than-life bass progressions. 

An almost glam riff coming out of nowhere, dissolving as quickly as it came. Pressing, haunting drums. A flute, sampled screams. A synth refrain comes and goes, only apparently without a pattern. Mistarget, Sami Baha third Album’s first single and title track, feels like being in a chase —An aetherial, deconstructed take on trip hop sensibilities meeting trap bravado. 

Cutting through the calm, Sato is a triumphant aggregation of noise and pixelated drums, where the purest underground rave attitude meets a deconstructed take on techno’s most familiar tropes. 

Step into Mistarget world. A tapestry of ambient sounds in Passages opens up the record. A lost fragment of a soundtrack for a film that never existed. 

Spiraling vocal samples drive Mistarget’s most willfully raw moment, Dogru. An interplay of guitar and drums that is Baha’s most evident nod to the beat-making side of his practice. 

Bakar Feek, featuring Vocalist Almaazz feels like an alt- acoustic take on an 80s Istanbul midsummer neo-pop dream. 

With Aml, we are gently rocked back to Baha’s beautiful dream-esque arrangements,a rainy-day combination of glowing, airy synths, stuttering percussion, and a relaxed downtempo arrangement.
