AFTRLIFE Records announces the debut EP from Ascension, Underground EP, arriving January 31, 2026 — a three-track statement rooted in transformation, atmosphere, and emotional propulsion. Blending techno house drive with celestial melodic layers, Ascension delivers a sonic narrative of emergence: from shadow, through tension, into light.
Ascension is the ethereal counterpart to XILE — a reborn identity forged from loss, exile, and rediscovery. Where one persona carried the weight of being cast out, Ascension rises as the luminous echo that refused to fade. His sound is defined by atmospheric depth, spiritual undertones, and kinetic rhythm — music that feels like memory returning to the body.
“This EP represents the moment you stop surviving and start becoming,” Ascension shares. “It’s the sound of stepping out of the underground — not just physically, but spiritually.”
EP TRACKLIST
1. “Dunes” – Ascension
A hypnotic opener built on rolling percussion and sweeping melodic textures. “Dunes” feels expansive and cinematic — like crossing an endless landscape where silence and motion coexist.
2. “Hurt” – Ascension
The emotional core of the EP. Darker tonal tension meets melodic release, creating a push-pull between vulnerability and strength. A late-night peak-hour journey piece.
3. “Underground” – Ascension
The title track anchors the project with deep, driving grooves and atmospheric layering — a declaration of identity and emergence from the depths.
