Later in the recording, which scans several freqs and misses a lot of the transmissions, you hear EK407 acknowledge a clearance to maintain 2000 feet. Then possibly a truncated approach clearance readback. After that you hear EK407 call approach again, perhaps from on the ground to discuss the incident.
EK407 checks in at 3:22 in this recording:
