Like many, Hulusi was a musical project that connected the dots between DIY spirit, technological advancements and the burgeoning cultural phenomenon of acid house. The project operated outside of the then perceived, traditional band conventions, instead developing their sound and exchanging ideas through the format of demo tapes and floppy disks, nurturing their work through individual bedroom studios and feedback sessions.
Despite operating in near obscurity, Hulusi - The Dream EP acts as an audible catalyst to transport the listener to a different time and place, offering a lucid snapshot into the musical and cultural explorations of the past whilst simultaneously remaining a timeless piece of music.
Available to pre-order over in our bandcamp, or record stores worldwide from 11th April.

Release day. MAGIC002 and the long-awaited reissue of Eternal is out now.
Active through the late 80s and early 90s acid house movement that swept through the UK, G.F.X. quickly became a name spotted on the line up of many nights that were popping up across the North east, as the area began to receive their first transfusion of acid house. 

Amongst the often undocumented north east acid house story lay whispers of legendary parties where youths gathered to escape the mundane. Most fondly spoken of, was Middlesbrough’s ‘Butter Loggie’, a bizarre sounding party that grew to crowds as big 10,000 in what was a community centre by day and rave by night. Geoff recalls calls the impact and ferality of the event, a wild and loose party where the soundsystem shook through your bones at the touch of his keys. These early experiences provided Geoff with his first glimpses of spirituality, which provided much of the inspiration behind the EP’s title track ‘Eternal’.
Available now on our bandcamp & in-store

Magic Mixtape: Panagiotis Isopoulos

The elusive Athens based digger Panos, joins us for a smooth yet wild ride through imagined landscapes blending natural and electronic sounds. ‘Southern Cross’ starts off as a breezy and gentle awakening, straying off course to unknown and unheard sounds that makes you question where you are, or more importantly where are you heading?
Who knows but when you get there, it’ll all make sense.

MAGIC004 - REES - ‘Music for Stalagmites’
It brings us great pleasure to announce our fourth release and our first step into new music. There was no better way to do it than with our very own label co-founder, REES.
Music For Stalagmites is a slow-form, immersive album, marking the accumulation of over 20 years of experimentation from the Middlesbrough based artist.
The album explores the duality of both primal and futuristic worlds, drawing inspiration from nature, technology and evolution to create a body of work that transcends beyond any timeline that has come before us. Forging vivid and otherworldly subterranean environments that transport the listener to an alternate haven. Music for Stalagmites embodies the sound of animism, a concept where all forms of nature hold a spiritual essence.
To mark the announcement, opening track ‘Dubmite’ is available now digitally.
The album ‘Music for Stalagmites’ is now available for pre-order via the Magic Ritmo bandcamp.
The incredible Stella Z commences the Magic Mixtape series for 2026, known for her wide selection and playful experimentation with nature she delivers a mix that perfectly encapsulates the label.
Stella joined us last year at the opening at our festival @eternalsunfestival we're delighted to have her return for this years edition.
