Afterhours. is back with Ukrainian underground talent Silat Beksi. As expected, the 3-tracker appropriately named -Transend EP- displays a fine selection of stripped-down music prone to dancefloor introspection. The title track Transend shows Silat s talent for creating steady, bare-boned grooves, filling the sonic space with menacing atmospheres, chopped vocals and bizarre modular squelches. Flipside s Monoliza follows the same stable groove principle but applies quirky sound-design techniques reminiscent of the golden ages of microhouse for an added swing. Elephant Dream , the EP s closing track, swaps the four-by-four rhythms with breakbeat-infused constructions, adding just the right amount of sway for its deeply floating atmosphere.
