Maurice Louca is one of the most gifted musicians and composers on Egypt's thriving underground music scene. This full-length album draws voraciously on Arabic music, psychedelic folk.

The title Saet el Hazz is a coded saying in Egypt to refer to a good time and usually implies a great deal of debauchery. “When you mention to someone that you’ve had a saet hazz, there are no questions asked. It is what it is.”

Saet El Hazz (The Luck Hour) is a long form composition of six movements, recorded over the course of a week in August 2019 at A/B studios in Brussels.
