Berghain resident Somewhen debuts on Ostgut Ton with four-track EP, AFL, offering his own take on distorted techno, combining squelchy, ultra-saturated drums with chromatic basslines, and EBM inflections. "Ryte" thrusts forward at 133 BPM with a sinister Gabi Delgado-like chant, whipping snares and metallic hats. On "Undress" things slow down significantly, while menacing vocals and melodic synths guide the listener through a hypnotic sonic tunnel. "AFL" emerges into rave territory, with modulating synth figures and bass drones made for the floor. On "Kilo" Somewhen reintroduces sinister, staccato vocals, minimalistic melody, and ominous pads. AFL is equal portions thrash and groove.
