Starry-eyed selectors Lychee and Furtive undertook a gelatinous joint adventure of wiggly, sparkly genre-jumping astral exploration at Astrobounce #2. Recorded live from the dancefloor in July 2021, this 4-hour b2b set is a luxurious layout of genres, ass-shaking rhythms, and romantic effervescence - a rambunctious rave run-through for melting hearts and brains into smiling, summertime goo. Plug in and let loose.

Lychee is a thoughtful, bubbly raveworld fixture. A colorful and perpetually exploratory DJ and event organizer, they manifest underground energy with a magical, scintillating take on technoid psychedelia and relentless, meaningful inquiry. Lychee elegantly runs Spontaneous Affinity, a monthly mix and interview series, annual zine, and occasional event platform. A voracious reader and writer, they ever-thoughtfully explore human experience and interconnectedness through words, soundwaves, and the expansive, wobbling pulse of the dancefloor. 

Furtive is a starry-eyed, polychromatic rave conjurer. As a relentless creative tinkerer and underground grand-stander, they have come up in DC’s scene as a prolific, multivariate producer, genre-bending DJ, and underground event organizer. Beyond the bass bins and strobe lights, Furtive is a visual artist and gooey, heartfelt conceptual explorer.

Carlos Souffront at Dekmantel Festival 2022

Furtive is a full-gonzo polychromatic rave conjurer and a relentless creative tinkerer. A Philadelphia-based producer, DJ, and DIY underground event organizer with over a decade of experience in the studio, Furtive's production wizardry has allowed them to land releases on a variety of US and overseas labels - including their first vinyl EP in spring 2022, with another coming soon - along with a slew of tracks on VA compilations and dozens of their own self-released cuts. Furtive’s body of work comprises psychedelic warphole-diving techno, quirky and muscular electro, acerbic acid tracks, moving ambient atmospheres, and drum & bass bin-rattlers. Furtive cut their teeth as a DJ and promoter/DIY organizer in Washington, DC’s warehouses, where they also played a turnkey role in putting on some of the District’s zaniest techno parties. They now co-run an intimate off-the-books venue in Philly. As a DJ, they’ve supported internationally celebrated no-nonsense acts and have routinely held court in precious warehouses and dingy local watering holes - always with eclectic selections and a steadfast focus on pacing and dynamics, regularly jumping genres to build moving and impactful sets. Beyond the fog and strobe lights, Furtive creates art in a variety of mediums, including linocuts, render art, inky drawings, and occasionally tattooing.

‘I’ve been binging a lot of episodic space operas lately and this mix is a result of that. Outlaws searching for meaning and themselves adventuring through the far corners of space. Expect turbulent 808 asteroid fields, breakbeat star-cruiser joyrides, treacherous acid planets, lush trance galaxies, and cyborg techno warfare’

WHAT IS ALWAYS
My love for my family and friends. 
The urge to explore.
Curiosity.
The ability for music and time to heal.

WHEN WOULD YOU NEVER?
Hate something I didn't understand.

TELL ME ABOUT YESTERDAY
I grew up in Mississippi, started raving at 16 in New Orleans. Music and that time shaped my entire life. Specifically Derrick Carter and U.N.K.L.E. , they soundtracked the next 20 years of my life and influenced me as a producer and DJ. I still carry that influence in my sound today.

SOMETHING WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOU
I'm a father, husband, and dancer.

For the 116th entry in the Honcho Podcast Series, we welcome @furtivetrax! 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.

Furtive now co-runs an intimate, blossoming off-the-books venue in Philly, and holds a radio residency at Philly scene mainstay Great Circles. Enjoy!

Honcho Podcast Series 116: Furtive

This is a mix I've sat on for a long time - nearly an entire year! On a hot August day of biking many, many miles, some incidental sweaty hijinks, and after completing work on Sympathies VII earlier in the day, this was recorded during a rampaging late-night mix session at the then still-fledgling Bounce House, Philadelphia. All alone in the sweltering warehouse space, I used the usual dancefloor speakers as overkill booth monitors and romped, recording three mixes in one night, ending with this one. 

This is, in some ways, me operating at my finest, or at least showcasing my best tendencies as a DJ: a wide range of genres, intentional progression in energy and between genres, deliberate selection, seamlessly executed eclectic stunts, a flow-state of three of four decks. It's also special to me because I happened to recreate one such dramatic stunt that I improvised when I had played in NYC earlier in the year for my Mild Fantasy record release party during a particularly emotionally turbulent period of life. The gaping dramatic, emotional moment on the dancefloor shockingly didn't clear the crowd - something that has been instructive for my growth as a DJ. 

This mix is deliberate and methodical in progressing through vibes and genres, beginning with a gentle atmospheric bath and moving into bass and wiggly  material and sunshine-y rollers before settling into a full-tilt 3+ deck techno firestorm and easing back out into some surprises and delights. expect (or don't!) wormhole techno, drum & bass, dubstep, a handful of originals, and even a glint of hyperpop.

*the way it's supposed to be, you deranged freaks

Unvanquishable Summer (Furtive // Bounce House, August 2022)

"Leaning hard into the conceptual thrust of the Distant Signal series, Furtive weaves a sonic narrative of cosmic exploration and calamity. Pulling heavily from all stripes of lost-in-space science fiction plots, this is a non-specific tale of human optimism (or naivete) and intrepid scientific leaps leading to a terrifying confrontation with eldritch cosmic forces and the unraveling of the reality our limited human technology, science, and faith have tried to understand. This is a mix of high-impact “g-force ambient” (in Furtive’s parlance) and introspective atmospheres, a sonic ride for psychedelic explorers and dissociated adventurers, those taking (third) eye-opening sacraments to traverse the vacuum of space, the sands of the desert, the cold of night, and chasms of the heart. 

The sonic arc of this mix begins by conveying the receipt of a distant signal, a message from far within the blackness of the cosmos that suggests an intelligent alien entity is beckoning to us. In our natural human curiosity and hubris, a mission to make contact is undertaken, launching a ship with a team of top scientists, explorers, negotiators, and warriors to investigate, communicate, learn, discover, and perhaps conquer. A journey full of promise, hope, excitement, faith in humanity and our collective achievements and intentions. Their long, plodding interstellar journey encounters treacherous circumstances, leaving nerves on edge and the team rattled as they approach their destination… yet as they come up on their anticipated end point, they are overwhelmed by slack-jawed awe. Initial contact is promising and profound, unnerving but inspiring. The awe and excitement fade, quickly becoming concerning as slinking things get out of hand with spiking anxiety and desperation, an absolute moment of break-glass emergency and panic on the space station. Nothing is as expected and promised - yet fully predestined and predictable - as mysterious, otherworldly eldritch forces alter, predate, inspired, terrorize, and transform - threatening to rend cosmic reality, civilization, the foundations of our minds, knowledge, and reason as we have understood them all. Through the contortions of alien forces and life-threatening calamity, the existential threat abates. A new light shines on this portion of the universe, and a new vision of our place in the world prevails - though not destroyed, nothing is ever the same, and we can look into the cosmos with fresh eyes, of understanding, awe, fear, and faith, and beauty, rinsed clean by a narrow brush with annihilation.

…or something like that."

About the mix: House music has always struck me as a manifestation of profound, glowing joy and being remarkably human - sometimes in sharp contrast with murkier, shadowy wormhole rave music shrouded in fog and strobe lights - perhaps the dancefloor equivalent of bubbling laughter where other dance music is whispering prayer. It's this quality of warmth that is so exciting and comforting, and allows everyone to groove and celebrate life together, that makes house music familiar and unifying. I wanted to take this energy and sensibility but make it more dreamy, gauzy, atmospheric, and decorated with some twinkling sentimentality - hence dreamier pads, emotive synths, sparkling arpeggios, some trance-adjacent leanings and references. Particularly as the seasons change and we tip over into longer days, brighter light, and the beginning of blooming, I thought to conjure a vernal haze for waking up from cold winds to new, surprising sunrays - music for jostling yourself into big smiles with thoughtful, jubilant company.

Juanita's Mix 016 with Love Letters @askloveletters

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Took a while to figure out, but I describe myself as an artist mostly concerned with music and sound, relationships between people and the relationships with our built environment. 

Q. How long have you been a part of the music scene in NY?
A. Emotionally speaking: decades. Physically speaking: 7 years.

Q. Can you tell us a little bit about this mix?
A. This mix had me pulling from many sides of myself and pockets of my life; in a sense the gravity of a mix for Mother’s Day informed the process. This wasn’t about just choosing music “she’d like”, I chose music to evoke a mother’s care, presence in life, or conversely the loss of a mother you loved or perhaps the total lack of a mother in your life. The ending is personal; a moment of celebration and an explicit “thank you” with a song that reminds me of riding in the car when I was young, because she had Natalie Merchant on repeat!

Q. It’s Mother’s day today. Describe an ideal day spent with your mom.
A. An ideal day with my mom would be spent outdoors, hiking, biking, or kayaking. She’s very adventurous and loves nature - she’s been a biology teacher, a summer camp director and currently leads a nonprofit land trust to conserve and protect lands in the Rogue River region of Oregon.
