here's a review by Pulseradio.net:

Einmaleins frequently unearth twisted up dance floor gems. Read Marc Shneider’s mini anthem rework of The Armaberokay, Andomat 3000’s wonky Delerium Tremens or the restrained micro house of Chris Lattner’s Definition EP. Dilo’s Aftermath EP is in line with the label’s quirky output, providing a musical accompaniment to those lost hours of post-club-carnage. All four cuts lurch between hope and desperation, as that last buzz fades and rays of light pick holes in a textured emotional soundscape.

All four tracks are rich in moods and ideas, with disparate elements expertly deployed to ride out the melancholia. Title track Aftermath takes a saw tooth stab and a hazy guitar riff, playing face off between the two to set a spacious, desolate atmosphere. It wraps up tension and would be perfect first track for a set or a mix. There are some lovely subtle details at work here, but with enough teasing rhythm to win it a place on the floor. The vibe is picked up suddenly when drums click into play – and just as easily dropped when they cease. Tension and release are balanced to match that fading MDMA buzz – a constant theme across the EP. Samples are playfully squeezed or twisted here and there, meaning this will sound excellent on a big system but will be equally suited to a bit of 8AM home listening.

Ice features a pitched down tranny monologue, speaking garbage over a fidgety, clicky jam. Its dirty and deranged flow provides the main source material for the remixers to craft their own interpretations. Carefully building around the rhythm of the vocal Dewalta’s remix builds effortlessly into a warm minimal house track. The track pulses and winds, with gurgling acid and gentle chords setting an enticing groove. The track has a light feel with enough intensity to lift the energy in a room.

Pablo Denergi goes to work on Ice, pitching down the vocal even more and bathing it in effects over a lamenting after-hours groove. Continuing the minimal blueprint a dubbed up bass line stomps along as the track shakes off its constraints and begins to rise, creating a spaced out vibe. It’s a heady, hypnotic soundtrack to those early hour k-hole conundrums.

The Aftermath EP contains a dark, freaky set of cuts exploring the aspects of the dance floor missed by a standard up-lifting house or techno record. Filling in the blanks with a melancholy vibe, there’s still enough funk and subtle highs to be found when sifting through the wreckage.
