Phutureprimitive is the musical creation of DJ, Producer and Remixer Rain. Rain first began DJing in 1992 after discovering the new sound of Trance and Chillout in the underground music scene. He later played a key role in bringing the sound of Trance to the Northwest in the early years of rave, a time when house and techno were the standard. While adding to his music collection, Rain also began to acquire the music equipment that would eventually become Phutureprimitive Sound Labs, founded in 1996. Intent on building the skills required to express himself musically, he made the decision to keep his work private, until his debut album on Waveform Records titled Sub Conscious finally escaped from the studio in 2004.

Phutureprimitive has since become a top artist in the downtempo/psy-chill/phuture-dub music scene, performing in cities and countries throughout the United States, and Europe including New York, Los Angeles, England, Scotland, Portugal, Holland, Italy and Croatia. In the past two years Phutureprimitive has shared the state with many other Downtempo acts including: Ott, Bluetech, Shpongle, Shulman, Pitch Black, Youth, Tripswitch, Gaudi, Kaya Project, Shakatura, Slack Baba, Organismic, Nagual Sound Experiment, Rena Jones, Ishq, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Mirror System, Tom Fu, Giani, Nova, and many others.

As a result of relationships that have blossomed with numerous labels and artists around the globe, we shall be hearing more original works, collaborations and remix projects in the near phuture.
Rain also has a new Psytrance project titled Shapeshifter which will be surfacing soon on Liquid Records, so keep your ears open.

What is Phutureprimitive?:

The fusion of organic and synthetic elements. There are many components to the Phutureprimitive sound which can be described as diverse and eclectic. Musically ranging from atmospheric downbeat and Drum n Bass patterns, to ethnic breaks, vocals and percussions, to dub and beyond.

The ability to place the listener in a different environment: To give them a sense of atmosphere and surrounding. Creating a landscape of aural texture is a key element to our music.

Time signature: 4/4 is so common, sometimes it’s fun to change things up. “In some ways, I feel an odd time signature (anything other than 4/4) engages the listener to pay closer attention; to follow the rhythm more carefully and figure out why bobbing your head doesn’t always put you on the “one” every four beats.”

Subterranean electronic Tribalism. Vibration for the imagination.
