Production

Newly minted label Psychic Relief poses up and flexes shamelessly with its inaugural release Muscles Hug Your Bones, a brawny EP of swirling technoid psychedelia, muscular bass-weight, and unabashed sentimentality by Philadelphia-based rave rascal Furtive.

The plodding, gently propulsive drums and sliding bass of Intrepid Smiles [Golden] could easily have gotten bogged down in the oozing, crepuscular sentimentality of its soaring, romantic synths, but instead this EP wraps with a certain cinematic spark, perfect for both dancing in lockstep and weepy embraces.

Newly minted label Psychic Relief poses up and flexes shamelessly with its inaugural release Muscles Hug Your Bones, a brawny EP of swirling technoid psychedelia, muscular bass-weight, and unabashed sentimentality by Philadelphia-based rave rascal Furtive. 

Bringing things into motion is Convoke, an impellant, rippling track opening with a stalwart kick and shifting, auroric sheets of harmonics. This densely textured wormhole slinker isn’t ostentatious, but its unrelenting progression and deliberate percussive maneuvers will command feet to move, summoning dancefloor supplicants toward pulsing speaker stacks.   

The EP’s title track punches in with a crunchy, energizing bounce - primed to bring packed rooms into full, rocking swing. The immediacy of its peppy, rambunctious groove and rolling, skittering percussion is bound to start frothing things up… and the acid line hasn’t even come in! Once that rippling squelch starts bubbling up, the frenzy of this sweaty, muscular weapon simply has to be felt - it’s a proper belter, while also perfectly arranged for slick and easy playback. Muscles has been play-tested in many packed rooms, and it always does the trick! 

Flipped over to the over side is the crooked drum and bass roller I Always Try To Be This Gentle. Rising out of a gauzy synth sweep come rattling, low-slung bass movements. With precise, tickling percussive hits draped in shifting, foggy textural shrouds, this trippy, higher-tempo track toes the line between enticement and unease with uncanny confidence. 

Closing out the EP is a warmly glowing, meandering, wide-eyed paean to a certain romantic audacity. The plodding, gently propulsive drums and sliding bass of Intrepid Smiles [Golden] could easily have gotten bogged down in the oozing, crepuscular sentimentality of its soaring, romantic synths, but instead this EP wraps with a certain cinematic spark, perfect for both dancing in lockstep and weepy embraces. 

Three digital tracks supplement the vinyl release. With Hedera, Furtive conjures another billowing textural wash of staggered, thumping psychedelic techno, steadily mounting into a cresting wave of rippling oscillations. Leafy Spinach is a salad of dreamy bouncing, of twinkling and winding bubbles, a track that would be outright goofy if it wasn’t for the seriousness of the bass punches. Wet Glass is a romantic, cinematic dreamscape - a warm, glowering collage of snippets of field recordings with uplifting, ghostly story-time synths and spectral piano plinking.

A veritable product of the contemporary American underground, Furtive cut their teeth as a DJ and DIY event organizer in Washington, DC’s warehouses, where they played a turnkey role in putting on some of the District’s zaniest techno parties. Furtive now co-runs an intimate, blossoming off-the-books venue in Philadelphia. As a DJ, Furtive has supported internationally celebrated, no-nonsense acts and held court in dingy local watering holes with eclectic selections and a steadfast focus on pacing and dynamics, regularly jumping genres to build moving and impactful sets. Beyond the fog and speaker stacks, Furtive creates art in a variety of mediums.

Seb Wildblood has mastered the art of crafting subtle, deep but impactful sounds whether working with club settings or headphones in mind. He is a producer, composer, DJ and head of labels including All My Thoughts who is now LA-based and continues to ask probing questions in his work. Never was that truer than with his third album, 2023's 'separation anxiety,' which blurred the worlds of ambient, indie, electronica, jazz and classical into blissed out new musical realms. On his Aus debut, Seb Wildblood eloquently demonstrates his versatility as a producer, with his ability to craft a trio of potent electronica tracks that offer an insight into the diverse landscape of his musical influences. 

First single 'stick it in the freezer', titled after an incident whilst writing in the vast arid deserts of Joshua Tree, when his laptop quite literally overheated and had to be resuscitated by ‘sticking it in the freezer’, opens up with fuzzy and feel-good chord vamps and mellifluous xylophone-style melodies. Hints of yearning vocals tug at the heart strings as the intricate drums drive the compelling mood onwards and upwards. The warm, on-rushing 'kilter:switch' features drum & bass inspired rhythms that are dubbed out to perfection. Daubs of harmonic vocals pepper the groove next to wet claps which keep things organic as you cruise through the cosmos at compelling pace alongside the acid-fused synth line. High speed, techno-leaning closer 'FLUSH' is a colourful blend of bubbling neon synth lines, wispy pads and supple, rubbery drums. Atmospheric vocalisations are smeared into the dynamic mix to make for something with a fresh, futuristic edge and plenty of rich sound designs.

PREMIERE: Seb Wildblood - FLUSH

Hanoi / Berlin / Tokyo. Does an EP title ever feel more evocative?

Jozef K takes us into a journey soaked in his inspirations through the lens of the traveller. 4 tracks that instantly take us into towering urban sprawls, with cascading musical architecture drawn from east to west.

Deeply dissociating within Tokyo’s spider-web metro lines is “Minamisenju Acid”. Early sunrise breakbeat euphoria becomes rose-tinted with “115 4eva”. “Involuntary polyamory” drags us into a bizarre love dodecahedron, elegantly battling drum work and synthesis between tossed breaks. 


Only once our brains have travelled all the miles between these historic cities, “We Came To Dance” sees us off with immaculate depth, with nothing but notes of unity on the dancefloor.

Furtive is a full-gonzo rave conjurer and relentless creative tinkerer, intractably committed to the rave as a Philadelphia-based producer, DJ, underground event organizer, and dancer. A shifting sonic chameleon, Furtive brings a scintillating, sentimental, and psychedelic touch to their artistry, rooted in wormhole-traversing technoid propulsion and dependably delivering riotous, slack-jawed whiplash moments of the delightfully unexpected. Their many polished and focused genre-spanning productions are informed by over thirteen years of experience in the studio, yielding a rich selection of tracks across their self-released discography, vinyl pressings, and contributions to compilations. A veritable product of the contemporary American underground, Furtive cut their teeth as a DJ and DIY event organizer in Washington, DC’s warehouses, where they once played a variety of turnkey roles in putting on some of the District’s more proper techno parties. Furtive co-founded and co-runs Bounce House, an intimate, blossoming off-the-books venue in Philly where they regularly hold court as a resident. Furtive is on broadcast monthly through Ashen Vanity, a radio residency at Philadelphia’s indispensable cultural mainstay Great Circles. As a DJ, Furtive has played hallowed halls (recently rampaging at Nowadays), dingy holes, roaring renegades, broadcast booths, and festivals (The Great Beyond 2023 and 2024, Honcho Campout 2024) - always with eclectic selections and a steadfast focus on pacing and dynamics while regularly jumping genres to build moving and impactful sets, often alongside internationally celebrated, no-nonsense acts. Beyond the fog and speaker stacks, Furtive creates art in a variety of mediums. They're as unapologetic in their sincerity and flair as they are in being a die-hard True Believer in the rave.

As a closing note: the journey can be summarized in their own words (or, a cheeky amalgamated existential portmanteau): “I aim for the stars, but sometimes I land in a pool of mermaids.”
