Soma Records’ electro sub-label, Avoidant Records assemble a fresh rogue squadron for another massive compilation as 16 electro warriors take on the ‘Dark Planet’.

After the impact of last year's huge ‘Defend Your Planet’ VA, Avoidant immediately set about recruiting another incredible group of artists that represent the Glasgow based label’s output. ‘Dark Planet’ brings together established, classic and up and coming producers who take their cues from the Detroit and European schools of electro. Gathered from across the planet - from Australia, The Netherlands, the USA and UK - the compilation sound is geared up for the dancefloor.

The breaks influenced ‘Wish You’d Leave’ from Three Faces Of Eve opens with a dark and ominous vibe before the legendary DJ Godfather drops a stripped, funk laced bomb on ‘It’s Only Detroit’. The UK’s Steve Allman takes things ‘Next Level’ with some straight up twisted and aggressive beats as Dutch wizard Versalife leans on more sci-fi elements with his ‘Shift Levels’. Having already appeared on a previous label VA, another Dutch connection in the form of Helsmoortel delivers some heavy rocking old skool vibes as a more emotive approach is taken by Flug on ‘Just You’.

Assembler Code steps up for Avoidant once more with some hyper production skills on the mutant bass styled ‘Architects’. Detroit’s own Blaktony means business with the direct and functional ‘Produkt’ before The Exaltics bring things down with the deep and sweeping ‘One Direct Line’. The enigmatic VRIL sets up the back end of the compilation nicely with his signature sound soaking up snappy percussive beats. Huge bass waves direct from The Lord Of The Isles on ‘Approach & Identify’ glide across dubbed out percussion and effective melodies. PARAND’s ‘Archangel’ is a dark and gnarly bass driven affair while Australia’s own 88756 makes your ‘Fine Dining Experience’ a rather forbidding one.

Glasgow based duo, Co-Accused make a welcome debut on Avoidant with the spatial and techno edged ‘Abduction’. Another Glasgow based artist, the mysterious Monk returns with the delicately crafted ‘Simulation Theory’; a pulsating and ethereal journey before the UK’s Darkmode closes out the compilation with an ode to early UK sounds on ‘Dr Bloodmoney’.

The compilation will be released on digital platforms on 22nd November this year, with a four track vinyl sampler to follow in early 2022 featuring a vinyl only exclusive Dub Mix of Flug’s contribution to the release.

Dark Planet

PREMIERE : VRIL - Orgon

A rhythm created during a common dream, a journey repeated by the rolling of the snare drums, voices bewitched by a humid path, its synthesizers are the only reason of this crystalline mist. It's time to open your eyes, this first side is full of movements ready to hypnotise and energise a dancefloor waiting for these sonic gems.
We must spin the record to find a blood coming from Kingston, however it is the Pilat that will give the rhythm of these green wizards. Their colours, of which this land alone knows the secret, blow a groove may be born from an AKAI MPC10003 caught in the Vieux Port. Its 3 pads and 2 missing buttons will deconstruct your mind.

The mystics of Magic Ritmo arise with their debut record, unearthing a curated selection of tracks from Adel Dhibi’s 1996 album M’Hajer for a coveted and long-awaited reissue. 

Adel is a Belgian artist of Tunisian origin working most prominently between 1993 and 1996 on a variety of electronic music from Downtempo to House, Trance and beyond, whilst carefully intertwining sounds inspired by his Arabic origins, a path lesser trodden by both his European and Tunisian counterparts at the time of release. A deep believer of empowerment through music, Adel’s unique approach sets to create a more peaceful world through his exploration of new and pioneering electronic sounds. A vision of sound and values that stands relevant and even more powerful today, 27 years after M’Hajer’s original release.

Magic Ritmo is honoured to continue to share Adel’s story and music with an exclusive, fully licensed and remastered version of M’Hajer. The album was originally recorded at Java-Trot Studio in Ostend, Belgium before its original CD/Cassette release, making this reissue the first time M’hajer has been pressed to vinyl.

Tensi on A1 is the perfect introduction to the record, an ambience of glittering synths and strings set the tension, building towards a paradise of breaks, euphoric arpeggiators and echoing Arabic vocals. Fadha follows suit, keeping the tempo high with psychedelic flair as its driving percussion pushes the record into early-Goa territory. Finally, closing out the record we have Sabrin for the B side, a downtempo gem filled with spacey electronics and a bassline set to shake any system that can handle its powerful frequencies.

Magic Ritmo proudly presents M’Hajer by Adel Dhibi. Remastered, reissued and available for the first time on 12” vinyl. Limited 100 pressings.

"Harrrp crawls to Nurse with the Ghouls EP, featuring two cuts of laser-focused broken bass dead set on moving all the creatures on the dancefloor. Formerly known as Scarlit Port, Ali Najafi has initiated a new chapter in his creative journey with Harrrp, pursuing a sleeker, more pliable, and ultimately funkier sound. “Ghouls” opens with Harrrp’s ghastly pitch-shifted vocals paired with a buoyant electro beat. As the track progresses, it veers into deconstructed club territory - rhythms splinter and Harrrp’s voice becomes submerged in static, sanity fraying like the crazed dancers. The hyperpop-inflected Accela Mix of “Ghouls” bumps up the tempo and swaps the ominous synths for rave-inflected stabs. But make no mistake - this is still resolutely future-forward funk. Artwork for this EP was designed by Olga Federova, who has also produced a video for “Ghouls”. Najafi continues to cultivate Nurse’s eclectic and genre-defying vision with Harrrp’s Ghouls."

PREMIERE: Harrrp - Ghouls [Nurse Records]

This music traces the curves of a workout session in neon pink jogging gear, straight out of the mid-80s , a physical exercise orchestrated by an entity and followed by clones repeating the same movements behind. This music, somewhere between techno melodies, house, and robotic voices, pushes you to dance and work out to the rhythm of the back-and-forth motion of legs and hips. A feel-good techno track with a catchy melody and English female vocals. Perfect for a retro-futuristic workout
