Episode six of the Afterhours. saga is here. Veteran sound crafter Jay Tripwire joins forces with Real Gangs Danny Miller for a three-cut EP delving deep into highly textured, exquisitely detailed minimal arrangements.

The appropriately named Greasy Grooves juxtaposes three groove-centred compositions of different tonal energy yet similarly high levels of sophistication. A-Sides Cut001 carries a definitive after-hours vibe: evolving atmospheres, stomping rhythmic arrangements, airy melodic pads and growling textures basically all the right ingredients for the post-sunrise periods of resilient raving. B-Sides Cut002 is the most cinematic, even enigmatic, offering here. But regardless of its eerie character, its focus is still very much on drum arrangement and incessant locomotive swing. Cut003 closes the EP with prime-time vibes, cow-belling through a slightly acidic, powerfully dubby techno groove.
