Review: In 2020, electro continued to be one of the most popular underground sounds and that continues into 2021. It is two of the most interesting artists around who team up here for six stylish and dreamy electro cuts filled with cinematic design and all recorded under the mysterious CYWU moniker. These are kinetic grooves overload with cosmic synths, deft designs and imbued with plenty of otherworldly spirt to truly transport you from this planet and into the next dimension. 'Spring Space' is a real standout as is the icy excellence of 'Unending Glaciers.'

Review: Tora takes flight on a new voyage to the outer edges of the electro universe with his new EP Artemis, which comes in four parts. These are seriously evocative and cinematic sounds starting with the high speed and kinetic drum patterns and rumbling basslines of 'Artemis (One)'. 'Artemis (Two)' has the same sort of snappy drums and hits but is a little more nuanced with extra space for the beats to land. 'Artemis (Three)' gets raw with aliens in the machines and squelchy acid and 'Artemis (Four)' brings things to a close with plunging bass and edgy dial tones that keep you on your toes.
