Raver

Gel Abril presents three big tracks with Raver. "Raver" from the oak-trunk kicks to the bellowing subs to the demonic down-pitched spoken sermon by way of the life-support machine rhythmic texture, is a wholly dark tech groove. "Optical" is a drama-raiser that fluctuates back and forth, causing every other element from the kicks right the way up to the percussion to follow it's tense pattern. "Akasa" taps into the EP's heritage theme with it's timeless, almost bouncy acid line. Gel establishes a tangible, physical funk with increasing percussive elements and a synth lick that gets decidedly trippy and unpredictable.
