Lurker is the project of Helder Amaral, also known as Rawar. While Rawar is renowned for its raw and distinctive sound, Lurker ventures into an entirely different direction. Hearing the two projects, you’d never guess they were created by the same person. Lurker carries its own unique identity – organic, captivating, and brimming with driving dynamism.
Lurker’s sound bridges the grounded vibe of the forest with intricate, layered technological elements. Powerful basslines, complex arrangements, and an attention to detail create a sonic landscape that not only moves the dancefloor but resonates more deeply. Lurker’s music invites listeners into a space where dance and meditation in repetitive rhythms seamlessly intertwine – an experience that continues to connect and energize our community.
Helder is now based in the Austrian Alps, in the city of Innsbruck. The tranquility and majesty of the mountains stand in striking contrast to the energetic soundscapes he crafts in his studio. Yet this contrast provides the perfect foundation for his creative process. With years of experience in the Psytrance scene and a profound engagement with diverse musical influences, Lurker’s productions reflect a rare fusion of organic depth and futuristic precision.
Lurker represents music that is both grounded and forward-thinking. It combines a connection to nature with the innovation of modern sound, striking a balance that feels entirely its own. On the dancefloor, this energy unfolds, captivating dancers and listeners alike – an invitation to immerse yourself in a world of movement, dynamism, and connection.
