RANA BRAMA EP - Forest & GAUSS

Track: Venomous Dub
Artist: GAUSS @gaussss
Label: Geosmine
EP: Rana Brama
Release Link: https://geosmine.bandcamp.com/album/rana-brama

This first Split EP from Forest and GAUSS represents their take on modern trance music. Each track, while belonging to a specific sub-genre, shares a distinct primitive and organic touch. From heady and menacing synths to tribal and movement-inducing percussion, each composition is crafted to convey both emotions and the urge to move.

Venomous Dub is a versatile track blending warm undertones and fluttering swampy sounds with old riddim vocals.

In keeping with the organic minimalism that defines Geosmine's visual identity, Arroyo designed an artwork incorporating Pre-Columbian and Gothic art influences, centered around reptile figures.
