Following his 2004 debut “Sub Conscious” & 2010 “Luminous EP” under the moniker Phutureprimitive, Portland, Oregon-based producer and songwriter Rain presents his long-awaited second full-length album “Kinetik”. This album pushes his sound into new territories of emotional electronic dance music, exploring a heavier, dirtier, bass-centric sound that adds raw energy to the meticulously detailed tracks this trusted producer is so well known for.
Known for his ambient and technical sound—synthy, bass-driven melodies with dark heavy beats, sometimes intertwined with more organic instruments— Phutureprimitive does not disappoint, even considering the lengthy seven-year absence. Instead, he manages to come back even stronger on “Kinetik”, with slightly darker bass-laden tracks that are full of the raw energy Phutureprimitive fans have come to expect. It takes more than just a few listens to notice all the intricacies Rain carefully crafts into each cut on the album. – The Untz
… Phutureprimitive is one of the most compelling producers making music today … – LostInSound
“This album is a reflection of the times we are living in … hard and aggressive, lush and beautiful, kinetic, frenetic, distorted, ever changing … but with each passing moment, a chance to move through life and make it a better place than we found it.” – Rain, Phutureprimitive
