"It’s so much harder to breathe here. Even with your helmet on, each breath you draw is deep and labored, barely filling your lungs with enough oxygen. Your eyes go fuzzy, but you keep going. It’s just a few more steps until you can breathe normally again. You push the saloon doors open. You take off your suit helmet and make a promise to yourself that it was the last time you’d let yourself stay that long on the outside again. You wonder how many times you’ve told yourself that same thing. Some day you won’t make it back in. But today isn’t that day. Feels good to be able to breathe again. You need a drink. 

There’s no one tending bar. One guy’s sleeping in a booth, drink half finished, couple empty pint glasses beside him. You ding the bell and wait a minute, but no one comes to help you out. Some shithole you’ve found yourself in. You hop the bar and take a glass off the shelf. Not like anyone’s gonna stop you. You pour yourself some of whatever’s on tap. Looks cloudy, but still green. Tastes okay. You look around at the weird old junk in here. It’s mostly Wild West paraphernalia from Earth. Kitschy, kind of charming though. Feels a bit passé. There’s a warped pool table and sitting behind it is a jukebox and you make your way over. It’s covered in dust. You wonder when the last time someone touched this thing was. You turn it on, and a message comes on the screen which reads: “Do you wanna dance?” 

Well — Do you?"

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.”
