    Sometimes I think about how music in the future will sound like. Before, I could not envision what a new genre would sound like. Now that I've listened to this EP, I'm starting to get an understanding as to where music is heading. This EP is like a breath of fresh air. It is hard-hitting and intense, yet holds a certain beauty to it. Beats that sound practically like a construction siteSometimes I think about how music in the future will sound like. Before, I could not envision what a new genre would sound like. Now that I've listened to this EP, I'm starting to get an understanding as to where music is heading. This EP is like a breath of fresh air. It is hard-hitting and intense, yet holds a certain beauty to it. Beats that sound practically like a construction site are pressed against beautiful synths. It's almost as if there is an energy trapped inside a space, punching and kicking against the outside and trying to be released.

    Even at five tracks, Heterocetera is a strong, visceral electronic record that maintains its ambition and intensity from beginning to end.

    Heterocetera is packed with writhing climaxes and blistering comedowns that leave you gasping without ever being able to forget who is behind them. Of course, confronting these contrasts remains a provocation on the artist’s part, but only ever in the best possible sense.
