BY THE WAY: sneak into some of our nu reviews:
INTENATIONAL DJ on Al-HACA’s MINDGAMES / DAYBREAK
Cheeky little 7” squeezes in here by the skin of its teeth on the borderline of dubstep/grime relative to the Rephlex/IDM interest. ‘Mind Games’ features vocals from RQM and Ras T-Weed, taking a softly, softly approach along the lines of Pole (electronica producer), the rhythm shuffling with an awkward smoothness. ‘Day Break’ features RQM again, this time alongside Ryder Shafique, going deeper (more minimal) than Mind Games.
LODOWN on AL-HACA mind games. (Meta Polyp)
No matter how fast you’re gonna run – that massive wall of Haca bass is gonna tickle your neck at some point, and then you just have to surrender. With vocal support from the Tapemeister’s RQM, his “mind games” will sit hidden in your brains and guts like some trojan bug. No virus scan needed. 8/10
RE:UP on MINDGAMES / DAYBREAK
Brand spankin’ new German label Meta Polyp is about to engage in some serious head-turning action with three excellent vinyl releases in a row. My favorite is the 7” from Al-Haca Soundsystem. Minimalist, dubby electronic soundscapes meet off-time, sloppy-in-a-good-way drums with expansive rhyme workfrom RQM – it’s like an unholy pairing of Basic Channel, Madlib, and Anti-Pop Consortium” -DRM / Bastard Jazz Recordings / Re:up
WIRE on ÜTZ feat. DUNLOK BACKSON (META POLYP)
The claps are pure Clipse and the wobbly, weepy whisper might as well be Pharrell with a cold compress on his throat, but no: the producer behind this spongy ball of fuzz is the German crew Al Haca (here assuming the guise of Ütz), whose 2002 track “Killa” anticipated The Bug’s blasted dancehall, while the vocalist is allegedly a backpacker from the South Pacific who showed up at Al Haca’s cottage studio deep in the forest, smoked up, spit fire and disappeared. The backstory’s irrelevant; if Hip Hop made more room for gnomes in its pantheon of urban entrepreneurial heros, the mossy bed of beats that cushion “Earth”‹vinelike keys and eerie lights confounding with every step, sending the listener scurrying ever deeper into the murk‹could easily be rolled out over streets more accustomed to rubber-burning; if they’d stacked the cairns in a slightly more syncopated zigzag, Al Haca’s rabbit hole would lead straight to Dubstep’s netherworld.

By the way: WIRE (UK) said this about the ÜTZ Project:
“The claps are pure Clipse and the wobbly, weepy whisper might as well be Pharrell with a cold compress on his throat, but no: the producer behind this spongy ball of fuzz is the German crew Al Haca…”
