Style and sound
The sound is described as futuristic techno with trance arrangements layered in. According to Magnetic Mag, "what sets future rave apart is a slight shift in syncopation, which makes all the difference. There is an added level of syncopation to the percussions which creates a slightly more mature and rolling groove, which is interlaced with the same aggressively-programmed synth hits that propel the tracks forward. The sound pallets haven't changed, but the timings and grooves have over corrected themselves back to the early rave days of the 90s."
The tracks also contain rolling, energetic grooves with long build ups and drops, euphoric vocals and anthemic breakdowns.
