Today, Saudi Arabia’s MAHOOL Records marks a major milestone with its debut V/A release, Portal 001. MAHOOL Records was founded in 2023, a sub-label of the MDLBEAST platform.
The six-track compilation features exclusive cuts from Sokkary, Corsini, Auf & Fade Republic, Triart & Eleonora, Deus Deserto, and Moses—each bringing a distinct sonic signature.
Sokkary, recently named one of Tomorrowland One World Radio’s Future Four artists, kicks off the journey with “Falling Deep,” a groovy, club-driven house track infused with cascading synths, shimmering piano melodies, and hypnotic vocals.
Corsini, who recently shared the stage with melodic techno pioneer Undercatt at The Grand Factory in Beirut, follows with “Microgrid,” a futuristic fusion of house and trance.
Auf & Fade Republic, after numerous B2B performances, team up for the first time on “Break A Way,” a deep, dystopian dreamscape with soft vocals and an elevated arrangement.
Meanwhile, Triart collaborates with Eleonora on “Don’t Go Away,” a big-room trance anthem that builds into an explosive, high-energy crescendo. Eleonora reflects on the deeper meaning behind her vocals:
“I wanted to capture that feeling of reaching out for something you can’t quite touch.”

Deus Deserto, who opened for the brotherly duo Mathame last December, injects raw club energy with “Like That,” an acid-fueled track packed with rapid hi-hats, bold rap vocals, and a relentless groove.
Closing the compilation, Moses delivers “Kerosene,” a slow-burning yet electrifying techno cut laced with robotic vocals and atmospheric tension.
