In case you missed it, an growing variety of dance/digital acts have been harnessing the sounds of the ’90s rave scene, starting from Kx5 (“Take Me Excessive“) to The Glitch Mob (“The Taste“) to G Jones and Eprom, who embraced the ambiance of dance’s earlier days on Acid Disk 2 in Could. Now, the Acid Disk burners are again with one other whizbang: “R.A.V.E.,” acronymic for “Realizing Different Visions for Earth.”
This punchy second preview of G Jones’ Illusory Tracks EP feels prefer it hurtles straight out of a high-intensity conflict with an opponent in a online game. Its use of the “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, do it!” pattern, popularized by Flosstradamus and TroyBoi‘s “Soundclash” (2015), is a harbinger of the walloping, crunchy breakdowns to return. All in all, “R.A.V.E” isn’t an emotional rollercoaster, although it’d, at instances, really feel like one. It’s a ceaseless flurry of in-your-face sounds that remind listeners of their place: on the sting of their seats, awaiting what’s to return on Illusory Tracks.
