This is an overall consistent and fun LP, one that does not rely on any quirks to be appealing; what Old Haunts can really rely on are its intense grooves, so much so that they’re both the backbone and in the forefront of these tracks.

Squarepusher :: Dostrotime (Warp)
Dostrotime strikes with bold tracks that are not afraid to go all in, whether that’d be with their explosiveness, intricate live playing, or insane drum spasms.
Hooligan :: No Sight EP (Renraku)
A clever three-piece suite of braindance and slow-motion breakcore layered funk.
Ars Dada :: Between Poetry and Catastrophe (Concrete Collage)
A surprising and uncompromising project with intricate arrangements, nuance, and grandeur.
Hex Wolves :: High Order Ov Loud (Component)
A bewildering compilation of fifteen tracks, High Order Ov Load teeters on the brink of electronics and breakcore while remaining firmly on the dark side.

An unsurprising and blissful quintuplet to cool warm summer nights as Hecq smashes it in true form.
