Hashish Hits

One of the most enjoyable album experiences I’ve had lately—great stuff. The late Ali Omar's surreal, scratchy dub dance beats for Efficient Space. A psychedelic, sample-based sound that feels as sedatively stoned as its namesake. - Hunter

One of ten children in working-class Liverpool, Omar drew deep influence from his father's Arabic heritage—a thread central to his identity and sample origins. After art school and a spell clubbing during Manchester's halcyon days, he relocated to Sydney, where he co-founded the blunted downbeat duo Atone with fellow British expatriate Andy Fitzgerald. As an MC, he infiltrated the city’s house, dub, jungle, and bass circuits, becoming a regular fixture at the Bentley Bar, where he commanded the mic with his versatile, rumbling baritone and charisma.
