Review: Having built up a sturdy reputation as Microburst, Chris Sallows has moved away from his more glacial electronica for this selection of nagging productions under the Fuewa moniker. The style has a decidedly dusty finish while the production flair remains at an impressively high level across this lengthy EP for Sonic Router. There are submerged breaks to enjoy on "Gallio" and slow-burning beatless sonics aplenty on "Be More Responsive", while "Inner One" burrows into oddball house grind shot through with an unsettling mysticism. It's a varied and bold release that reveals an intriguing alternative side to a grossly underrated producer.
Review: After the barnstorming success of his Tape Tekkno LP, My Panda Shall Fly is back, this time on Sonic Router with a solid six track EP that shows a decidedly different side to his musical personality. There's a wistful, star-gazing quality to these tracks as warm and luscious synths and pads wash over the offerings with far more harmonious intentions compared to the relatively jarring experience of the album. It's an ever-moving story though, as best demonstrated on "Ark (Spirit Servant)" which moves between open plains of imaginative tones and dense brush made up of myriad rhythms and pulses. There's a lot of bold brushstrokes that mark out the talent at the core of this project, while leaving the door open for endless future possibilities from the London producer.
