A low frequency pulse reverberates under the dense canopy.
Overgrown technological remains scattered across the lush landscape.
Derelict fragments woven through the alien trees ~ all emanating sound to the same rhythmic flow.
The waves wash over your body inviting you closer.
Your sensors light up as you approach the source.
~Please re-calibrate monitoring device for full spectrum mind/body transmission~

Michael Kaiser is a DJ and DIY party appreciator native to Los Angeles and based in Pittsburgh.
Equally at home digging through stacks for old gems or soaking up the spectrum of modern electronic music, he is driven by uncovering and highlighting the connective threads running through a diverse range of sounds and rhythms.
He draws from techno, house, dub and the many shades of UK bass music, often venturing outside and in between and playing with an aim of balancing experimentalism with the cultivation of a happy dance floor.

This mix explores intersections between organic and synthetic and the junction of serious and playful.

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) - 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.”
