The highly anticipated third release from RAAB Trax comes equipped with 4 original tracks and a remix from one of the most promising newcomers in industrial techno, Bunkerterror. The 5 track EP represents the most eclectic and versatile release on the Dublin imprint yet. A multifaceted and comprehensive trip through Raab’s lockdown creations spans through industrial techno, rhythmic grooves, liquid drum and bass, euphoric sonority and straight driving kaleidoscopic techno.

Rocky Bottom EP [RAAB Trax 03]

Rocky bottom, opens the proceedings with some pummeling low end that is met with a tribal groove that is simply infectious in its nature. The lead synth finds itself swiveling around the soundscape, as a squelchy acid line gyrates in and out of the composition.

Rocky Bottom EP

Rock Bottom

A1. RAAB - Rocky bottom

RAAB delves into heavenly liquid drum and bass on Blackwater. The propitious elevation of bpm comes as a pleasant surprise, but still remains in accord with the previous tracks. Ravey, jubilant, zestful and nostalgic, the track has the bones of what every good jungle record should have, yet finds itself surrounded by high quality techno tracks. The bold choice is compact with meandering synth lines, melodious piano and subs to die for.

Blackwater

B2. RAAB - Blackwater

Autumn Dream is an unexpected but welcome shift in disposition as RAAB flexes his diversity as an artist through a dreamy and ascending rave anthem. Equipped with warm and wandering pads, breakbeats, anathematic piano as well as a jaw dropping and rippling lead synth.

A2. RAAB - Autumn Dream

Antediluvian starts with a pounding kick drum and crisped percussion that take center stage before the winding and hypnotic lead synth swirl about like a gritty, entrancing symphony.

B1. RAAB - Antediluvian

The Antediluvian Remix takes things into darker waters as Bunkerterror flips the original on it’s head with a murky twist. Gliding synths fabricate a calamitous atmosphere while the lead stab maintains the dance floor vitality.
