Phutureprimitive (www.phutureprimitive.com) is the moniker of Northwest producer and song writer Rain. Early childhood photos reveal Rain sitting at the piano plinking keys, grinning from ear to ear……a true sign of things to come. Continuing his early fascination with music, Rain was later drawn to electronic music, inspired by its ability to combine the best of organically played instruments and the synthetic pleasures of sounds more exotic to the human ear. After beginning a DJ career in the 90s, Rain began incorporating the music he was making in his home studio into his DJ sets. That was all it took trigger a full blown love affair with electronic music and the process of its creation…and Phutureprimitive was born.

Phutureprimitive music is singular and unique in its approach: Lush melodies drift across intricate rhythms, groove heavy beats and warm, fuzzy bass lines. Often exploring a dark and dense palette, his music also manages to convey a sense of tranquility and beauty, engaging the listener into hypnotic movement and often escalating toward a full kinetic experience. Conceived and produced in a digital environment, his music manages to convey more humanity and organic warmth then typically found in an often cold and sterile genre. Shimmering with cinematic qualities, his music ultimately speaks to both the mind and the body. Despite electronic music’s tendency to suffer a short shelf life, Phutureprimitive has already demonstrated a timeless quality with his debut album release of “Sub Conscious” on Waveform Records, which has managed to increase in sales since its release in 2004, obtaining a cult status among fans and collectors.

    Sub Conscious was a huge inspiration for my tag. I would prefer to listen to a giant Drum Circle in the woods all day every day but i cant. The first time i heard some tracks off it in 2004 it created a thirst for Electro-tribal-world-fusion. The sounds he pioneered were really hard to find. When looking try describing Rain's sound to people who ask "What do you like to listen to?". So Phutureprimitive and Orbus Terrarum on REPEAT it is. I built up a few sets worth of artists and tracks with this "dawgtribe" sound but it was difficult. 6 years later i find last.fm and its still hard to group or describe. You still have to sift through this and that. So i did, and i found HUNDREDS. The playlist seems to be limited to a few hundred even though i tagged many more. It is amazing. I hope one day it will be a sub genera so it will have no limitations. Under live drumming, Rain you are one of the biggest musical influences in my LIFE. THANK YOU! ENJOY
