The Space Between Spaces 17 Ron Like Hell & Furtive - The Lot Radio 04.22.2021

Wide-eyed: slippery, refractive heartstrings - electrified embraces - glossy billowing - flickering dark / tightness through yawning absence / skin, sheets, light pillars, rafter sanctuaries / "don't harden your heart" - the process of shedding, melting, flooding: a comforting wave :: lushness to lie down in and grow from (once again).

Sounds Of Vacancy Vol. 42 (ft. Furtive) [Live Mix]

Furtive is a full-gonzo polychromatic rave conjurer and relentless creative tinkerer. A Philadelphia-based producer, DJ, and occasional 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, along with a slew of tracks on VA compilations and dozens of self-released cuts. Furtive’s body of work comprises psychedelic warphole-diving techno, quirky and muscular electro, acerbic acid tracks, crooked bass bits, moving ambient atmospheres, and drum & bass bin-rattlers. Furtive cut their teeth as a DJ and promoter in Washington, DC’s warehouses, where they also played a turnkey role in putting on some of the District’s zaniest techno parties. As a DJ, they’ve supported internationally celebrated no-nonsense acts and held court in 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.

Notes on the Mix ///
"This mix is sparkly, fun, and a little wild, progressing from warm and uplifting sun-shiney booty shakers to clattering stompers and rounded out with some glossy melodrama. I initially wanted to stay rooted in light-hearted, bright, and wiggly material to warm up recent winter doldrums, but I absolutely had to throw in a few fun, slightly unhinged curveballs to keep things spicy and to make you laugh and yearn."

A veritable product of the contemporary American underground, Furtive cut their teeth as a DJ and DIY event organizer in Washington, DC’s warehouses. 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."

Distant Signals 035: Furtive

Alias: Furtive
Pronouns: they / them
Location: Philadelphia
Collectives: Bounce House
Residency: Great Circles
Labels: Psychic Relief, Mild Fantasy
Name of the mix: Glow Glitters and Night Critters
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.

House of Others #060 | FURTIVE | Glow Glitters and Night Critters

We are back with a new fresh Warokcast, and for this episode we invited ''US'' Artist ''Furtive'', who released on Warok 6 months ago the WRK025 ''Aposematism''

Furtive is a Washington DC-based producer, DJ, and event organizer manifesting techno as a warped
and acerbic tangle of textures. Furtive blazes his own trails of unconventional sound design, hesitantly
trying to reconcile techno’s brutal, implacable presence with glittering &amp; playful flourishes, both in his
studio work and in DJ sets.
Furtive is a member of SEQUENCE, a colorful collective organizing and promoting some of the
District’s zaniest warehouse techno parties.
/
Furtive grew up as a bit of a perpetual cultural outsider: born and raised somewhere in Southern
California’s sun-weathered and dusty Inland Empire, but spending many formative years in Berlin, he
grew up between three languages and even more histories. Furtive’s musical arc zigzags wildly: from
classical music, Russian pop, and a formative, fateful exposure to trance in childhood, to trashy
metalcore and gabber in high school, and later to the transcendental worlds of gloomy experimental
metal, Cascadian singer-songwriters, and the thrill of exploring obscure vinyl collections on dreamy
afternoons. Whatever the medium or genre, Furtive has always pursued catharsis through music.
While Furtive’s production is fundamentally techno refracted through these aesthetic and conceptual
sensibilities and some wacky studio idiosyncrasies, the real drive for his output is the creative cauldron
of Washington, DC. Furtive arrived in the nation’s capital in early 2015, and immediately threw himself
into the strange, scuzzy, and enchanting underground spaces of the District.

Furtive is a full-gonzo polychromatic techno conjurer. A Washington DC-based producer, DJ, and event organizer, Furtive manifests techno with warping, slippery textures and eclectic asides - both in his studio work and in DJ sets. He helps carry the community as a member of SEQUENCE, a local crew of rave-rats organizing some of the District’s zaniest techno parties. A prolific producer, Furtive has recently landed releases on Warok Music and Northallsen Records, along with several self-published releases, and a handful of further pending releases. The recent past has seen this elusive rave supplicant sharing billings with internationally celebrated acts like Wata Igarashi, STERAC, Rhyw, Rrose, Umfang, Adam X, Tensal, and Developer. Beyond the dance floors and strobe lights, Furtive moonlights as an illustrator.

Furtive is a full-gonzo polychromatic techno conjurer. A Washington DC-based producer, DJ, and event organizer, Furtive manifests the rave with warping, slippery textures and eclectic asides - both in their studio work and in DJ sets. Furtive helps foster nightlife as a member of SEQUENCE, a local team of rave-rats organizing some of the District’s zaniest techno parties. A prolific and multifaceted producer, Furtive has landed releases on Warok Music, ROOM, Metro Xpress, Northallsen Records, and Format Recordings, along with multiple self-published releases and a handful of further pending ones. 

Furtive's production spans from psychedelic warphole-diving techno, quirky and muscular electro, acerbic acid, crooked ratcheting bass bits, and drum & bass. The recent past has seen this elusive rave supplicant sharing billings with internationally celebrated acts like Wata Igarashi, VTSS, Rhyw, Rrose, Umfang, Sterac, Adam X, Tensal, and Developer. Beyond the dance floors and strobe lights, Furtive tinkers as a visual artist, illustrator, and tattoo scratcher.

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 2023 and 2024, Honcho Campout 2024) - 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.”
