A fractured, hallucinatory reimagining of After Hours. Dark synths and deconstructed beats turn pop anthems into ghostly, late-night electronic meditations.

This remix EP serves as the dark, distorted mirror to the cinematic pop of the original After Hours. While the parent album was a neon-soaked journey through the night, these remixes represent the moment the drugs wear off and the sun refuses to rise. It is a collection that prioritizes texture and atmosphere over radio-ready hooks, inviting experimental heavyweights like Oneohtrix Point Never and Chromatics to dismantle the Weeknd’s polished R&B structures. The result is a listening experience that feels both familiar and deeply unsettling, like a memory of a party you can’t quite piece back together.

Brooding saturates this record notably more than the artist's norm.
