Ambient set from 5-6:30am in celebration of Imbolc, February 3-4, 2023.

I hosted a party in celebration of Imbolc—an ancient Gaelic festival that happens after Samhain to bring in the start of Spring—and hosted 40 creatives, artists, and cultural workers for eight hours. We shared food and music.

Additional DJs included DJ Etta, Gold-E-Loxx, Charles Trees, James Allen b2b Miguel Cisne, and Patches, with lighting by Otodojo.

The mix is a natural continuation of seasonal exploration. For a previous release in this vein, see Winter Gratitude, released by the Nemeth Art Center's Home Deliveries series in 2021: https://soundcloud.com/nemethartcenter/home-deliveries-ep-1-daniel-sharp-doldrums?in=endash/sets/sum-mixes

Recorded on an Allen & Heath Xone 464 and two Pioneer XDJ 700.

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.”
