New transmissions from Dave Huismans – whether under the 2562 moniker or as A Made Up Sound – are seemingly all too rare, but are always guaranteed to cause the kind of excitement usually reserved for big budget summer blockbusters, albeit without the inevitable sense of disappointment. After Hours is a welcome return then and sees Huismans further muddy the waters of definition when it comes to A Made Up Sound; both tracks are characterised by a more steady approach than we’re used to from Huismans, with the title track described as offering a “brooding alternative soundtrack to that most underrated of Scorsese movies” (complete with film dialogue samples), while “What Preset” provides an abstracted combination of confrontational bass stabs and broken kick drums that seem to explode like landmines. Like the recent output of the Livity Sound trio, it’s a release that explores techno’s slower possibilities without compromising on impact.
