For the last Smooth Brain Sunday (ever!) on Beloved radio, Malzof graces us with a hybrid dance mix that gets your head and body in an electric groove. 

Starting off with abstract acid house, weaving into dub, freestyle and new beat, returning to the source of disco, 
Malzof takes us on an elemental ride. Their style is captured throughout the mix as it emits a liberating yet emotional feel shared across the genres and origins of dance music.

Malzof is an explorative intermedia artist based in Pittsburgh. Their background consists of multitudes of an audio-visual experience: video production, live audio + visuals, installation art, DJing and beyond. Pittsburgh’s finest Sweet Abyss provides a curatorial medium for Malzof to highlight the expansiveness of transgender dance music.

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 and Basement), dingy holes, roaring renegades, broadcast booths, and festivals (The Great Beyond '23, '24, and headlining in '25, Honcho Campout '24, Making Time '25) - 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.”

DJ / Intermedia Artist / Sweet Abyss
 
Weaving together abstracted grooves across genre, BPM and era, Malzof’s sonic journeys intersect with realms of ambient, experimental, house, techno, and beyond. Their sets enchant the dance floor with blissed-out beats, freakyfun vocals, and environmentally enhancing percussive soundscapes, ultimately showcasing their passion for storytelling, sampling, community collaboration, & dancing.


Getting his initial start on college radio (WCWS - 90.9 FM), Encyclopedia Brown has over the last two decades become known for his ability to move dance floors at clubs, and underground events across North America.  Influenced by well known artists as Mark Farina, Charles Feelgood, Donald Glaude, Paul Johnson, Lars Behrenroth, Hatiras, and Marc Cotterell, as well as Midwest legends such as 7Up, Doug Burkhart, Hesohi, and Jes One, he has taken what he has learned from them and combined it all in order to create his own unique blend of Garage, Disco, Chicago, French, and Deep House sounds.

A true believer of the adage "House Is A Feeling", his mixes will take you on an intriguing journey into the most remote depths of house culture: A road filled with driving percussion, groovy bass lines, and a jazzy subterranean feel.  His music - just like the man himself - always has a positive vibe, a whole lot of soul, and is sure to bring a smile to your face!
