Moroccan-born producer Reda Senhaji, better known as Cheb Runner, presents 80K, the second installment in Beat Machine Records’ TERRA TEMPO series. A direct tribute to the cultural heritage of the Souss Massa Darâa region, the project reactivates ancestral rhythms and translates them into a forward-looking electronic language rooted in place, memory, and physical sound.
The Nina Protocol Exclusive:
This specific drop focuses on the spiritual epicenter of the record: "Gn-Awa".
Alongside the original mix, this release features the Guedra Guedra Remix. Layered with intricate polyrhythmic textures and massive low-end pressure, this reinterpretation pushes the concept of Amazigh-Futurism to its absolute limits.
The remix will not be released as a standalone single on traditional streaming platforms. The only way to collect and own this specific track is right here on Nina Protocol, or as part of the complete physical/digital album bundle on Bandcamp.
The Album: 80k
Drawing from traditions such as Ahwach, Gnawa, and other interconnected practices from the Souss region, 80K preserves original rhythmic skeletons while reimagining them through modern, club-oriented structures. Traditional instruments and electronic elements collide fluently, where the 808 functions not merely as an accent, but as the foundational structural force.
Moving between bass, world, and electronic territories, this release reflects a deliberate balance between preservation and transformation. It is music that carries ancestral rhythms into new listening spaces, bridging generations, cultures, and sonic worlds within a single, cohesive experience.
