Hailing from Seattle, Korean-American artist @fugal expresses both dynamism and nuance. As part of the @secondnatureseattle collective, he’s one of the driving forces behind a string of renowned events in Seattle and the US, as well as an impressive young label which has seen contributions from fellow secondnature residents @archivistseattle and @simictacoma, along with @smoreira and Svreca (@semantica-records).

Now based in Berlin, Fugal has continued to refine his rhythmic, emotive sound, with gigs across Berlin and abroad. On the production front, 2017/18 has proven to be a fruitful period, with a recent co-release with Archivist on @volte_face_bleed’s BleeD imprint, and his sophomore secondnature release coming up in mid-February.

With his contribution to the Patterns of Perception mix series, Fugal has taken a measured approach, veering away from more functional dancefloor sounds, and instead drawing inspiration from the warmth found amongst the grey Berlin winter. Toeing the line between experimental sounds and deep techno, Fugal’s mix delves into the intricate - focusing on musical phrases and creative transitions between widely varying tempos.

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.”

Running @echo-of-species ~ The ecological collapse through artists' eyes. From a wide spectrum of ambient, psychedelic & electronic music styles. 
_________

The contemporary environmental issues we face - pollution, global warming, extinction of species, etc. - are insufficiently expressed and conceptualised in the musical world, despite the fact that many artists have strong ecological convictions. Echo of Species is a place where they will take turns, each contributing a chapter to this deep listening story, by grasping climate urgency and proposing their artistic vision, without boundaries. A podcast series where each episode features an artist's unique selection of music interlaced with spoken words about the ecological collapse, from speeches, archives or recordings. The musical atmosphere can broadly be defined as experimental, from a wide spectrum of classical, ambient, psychedelic & electronic music styles. The artists help to craft the line-up and participate in the curation process. Like a relay race, they will pass the baton of conscience onto the next composer, thereby adding an element of unknown to the collection. The musician takes on the role of a trans-disciplinary agent of change, touching upon the feelings and emotions of the listener. Our aim is to ease the emotional bond between ourselves and nature. Through the eyes of these artists and their aesthetic response to the irreversible sixth mass extinction, we aspire to drive the catalyst that may prick our collective consciousness. Let's dive into this creative emulation and question ourselves. The clock is ticking.

Just processing all the ineffable sentiments 🖤
