pulled from my live set at Merge Into 2024 at the start of the year, this near two hour segment is shared to celebrate how excited I am to work with Merge again at their Pride party on June 28. the space between spaces is about all music, fast or slow, beatless or thundering..music is for everyone. dancing for mental health is strongly advised <3

James, Autechre, OrbitalJeff Mills, Chris Knowles and all the Liberators, Guy McAffer, CJ Bolland, Green Velvet, UR, Laurent Hô, Miss Djax, N-Son-X, Daz Saund, A.Paul, DJPepo, D.A.V.E. The Drummer, FSOL, Hardfloor, Acid Junkies, Mário Roque, Jesus del Campo...

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.”

Hegstraction is a UK Techno Producer & Abstract Artist. Featured on Beatport Top 100, BBC Music Introducing & Awakenings. He also runs the Bad Haz Techno record label.

HIGHLIGHT Track, Dark & Dirty Beats, played by Joris Voorn live at Awakenings New Year's Eve 22/23, Gashouder, Amsterdam.

ALBUMS Movement (2019) Light (2020/21) Space (2021) Dark Minimal Constructs (2023)

Currently releasing tracks for The Minimal, Melodic, Hypnotic, Industrial & Hard Series.

BACKGROUND Hegstraction grew up in the 80s & 90s heavily influenced by the emergent electronic music in Amiga, Nintendo & PlayStation video games & the movie soundtracks by electronic music pioneers Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis & Kraftwerk. Recent influences from German techno DJ/producers Felix Krocher & Stephan Bodzin.

INSPIRATION His inspiration differs from most artists as it comes from the dance floor where he is most at home. From over 20 years experiencing DJ sets worldwide throughout Europe, Asia, South & North America, his ideas have been shaped.

METHODOLOGY He approaches each track as a mini set, building up slowly, using level changes, sounds that stimulate & energize, following Skeletalism (using closely related sounds) & Massification (layering sounds over time) methods.
