Mixes

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).

MFIS XVII ✢ Furtive

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.

OBSRRD 154 // Furtive

@upsammy
Since the release of her debut EP ‘Another Place’ on Rotterdam's premiere Nous’klaer record label, upsammy has emerged as one of the most exciting contemporary electronic artists of our time. Known for her boundary-pushing vision of music and sound, upsammy’s string of releases on the likes of AD93, Die Orakel and Dekmantel have manifested into a back catalogue that give the sense and feeling of gallery of artworks. With a background in arts, it’s no surprise that upsammy works from a foundation of unbridled imagination. As is a common theme amongst many of my most admired artists, the power to present works that simultaneously champion both the weird and the functional is at the forefront of upsammy’s sound. It seems to me that the space between is where the magic happens - crystalline electronica, otherworldly ambience, hypnotic glitch and deconstructed club sounds morph to produce upsammy’s unique brand of contemporary, psychedelic idm. Her more recent and first long-player ‘Zoom’ showcases a somewhat softer side - warm crunchy textures, bouncing sub bass and at times-playful melodies are bound together with both quirky and functional rhythms. Zoom bestows upon us a beautiful and engaging collection of sounds which tell the story of both organic and digital realms. I once read a Bandcamp fan describe upsammy’s work as ‘fairytale idm’ and I couldn’t agree more. At the heart of every fairytale is a sense of magic, and everything upsammy does is just that. 

Alongside her productions, upsammy is an expert DJ who crafts brilliantly creative mixes and live sets with laser like precision - dynamic blends of experimental electronics weave between dreamy soundscapes, spacial percussion, psychedelic drum and bass and breaks - you can always expect the unexpected and this mix is no different! upsammy joined me live in the PBS studio on the 14th October 2022.

Sundays are for... Synthbiont & Anassimandrus

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.

RADIO.D59B / THE NIGHT BEFORE #37 w/ Gilles Wasserman

"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."

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.
