arrangements layered in while also incorporating the ever-changing cutting edge sounds. According to Magnetic Mag "What sets future rave apart is a slight shift in syncopation, which makes all the difference.There is an added level of syncopation to the percussions which creates a slightly more mature and rolling groove which is interlaced with the same aggressively-programmed synth hits that propel the tracks forward. The sound pallets hasn't changed, but the timings and grooves have over corrected themselves back to the early rave days of the 90s and the sound is all the better for it." The tracks also contain rolling, energetic grooves from the start to finish with long build ups and drops. They also contain euphoric vocals and anthemic breakdowns. Future Rave brings the elements of both the EDM and underground scenes together, while keeping the cutting-edge sound ever-evolving. Future rave builds bridges between the energy and the hooks of EDM, the futuristic sounds of techno, and the emotion of trance and (future) house.
