Production

Newly minted label Psychic Relief poses up and flexes shamelessly with its inaugural release Muscles Hug Your Bones, a brawny EP of swirling technoid psychedelia, muscular bass-weight, and unabashed sentimentality by Philadelphia-based rave rascal Furtive.

The plodding, gently propulsive drums and sliding bass of Intrepid Smiles [Golden] could easily have gotten bogged down in the oozing, crepuscular sentimentality of its soaring, romantic synths, but instead this EP wraps with a certain cinematic spark, perfect for both dancing in lockstep and weepy embraces.

Newly minted label Psychic Relief poses up and flexes shamelessly with its inaugural release Muscles Hug Your Bones, a brawny EP of swirling technoid psychedelia, muscular bass-weight, and unabashed sentimentality by Philadelphia-based rave rascal Furtive. 

Bringing things into motion is Convoke, an impellant, rippling track opening with a stalwart kick and shifting, auroric sheets of harmonics. This densely textured wormhole slinker isn’t ostentatious, but its unrelenting progression and deliberate percussive maneuvers will command feet to move, summoning dancefloor supplicants toward pulsing speaker stacks.   

The EP’s title track punches in with a crunchy, energizing bounce - primed to bring packed rooms into full, rocking swing. The immediacy of its peppy, rambunctious groove and rolling, skittering percussion is bound to start frothing things up… and the acid line hasn’t even come in! Once that rippling squelch starts bubbling up, the frenzy of this sweaty, muscular weapon simply has to be felt - it’s a proper belter, while also perfectly arranged for slick and easy playback. Muscles has been play-tested in many packed rooms, and it always does the trick! 

Flipped over to the over side is the crooked drum and bass roller I Always Try To Be This Gentle. Rising out of a gauzy synth sweep come rattling, low-slung bass movements. With precise, tickling percussive hits draped in shifting, foggy textural shrouds, this trippy, higher-tempo track toes the line between enticement and unease with uncanny confidence. 

Closing out the EP is a warmly glowing, meandering, wide-eyed paean to a certain romantic audacity. The plodding, gently propulsive drums and sliding bass of Intrepid Smiles [Golden] could easily have gotten bogged down in the oozing, crepuscular sentimentality of its soaring, romantic synths, but instead this EP wraps with a certain cinematic spark, perfect for both dancing in lockstep and weepy embraces. 

Three digital tracks supplement the vinyl release. With Hedera, Furtive conjures another billowing textural wash of staggered, thumping psychedelic techno, steadily mounting into a cresting wave of rippling oscillations. Leafy Spinach is a salad of dreamy bouncing, of twinkling and winding bubbles, a track that would be outright goofy if it wasn’t for the seriousness of the bass punches. Wet Glass is a romantic, cinematic dreamscape - a warm, glowering collage of snippets of field recordings with uplifting, ghostly story-time synths and spectral piano plinking.

*PREMIERE* Furtive - I Always Try to Be This Gentle

drama

it’s been two months – i finally managed to export and upload this fever dream deconstructed ambient piece I made for HEIM straßenkino festival. it was designed to be performed on a 16 speaker 3D soundsystem – obviously the Soundcloud upload will not come anywhere near the experience of having the individual sounds fly around your head in circles or creeping onto you from behin. i did keep some of the panning to be experienced on headphones tho, and generally put a lot of work into this so didn’t want it to just rot on my hard drive. 

photo was taken by my lovely friend and extremely talented photographer Katharina Schäffer <3

deconstructed fever dreamz {𝓁𝒾𝓈𝓉ℯ𝓃 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽 𝒽ℯ𝒶𝒹𝓅𝒽ℴ𝓃ℯ𝓈 𝒷𝒶𝒷ℯ𝓈}

possibly one of the best times ive had behind decks in a long long time. 
a bit for everyone, one to make you move!
happy pride, every day and always xx

d. clemente - SOUP, Manchester - Bitter Leaf: Indulgence (Pride Weekend, August 2024)

In May, longtime Vief collaborator halle o’malley got in touch with an idea. She’d come across the Instagram of a 17-year old Palestinian musician called Samih, who’s life has been torn apart as a result of Israel's recent onslaught on the Gaza strip. Their home destroyed, Samih and his family were forced to flee to a refugee camp in Rafah. During their displacement, Samih has gone viral posting videos of himself singing and playing a borrowed oud.
 
Having spoken to Samih and received his blessing, Halle planned to sample a video of his and donate the proceeds from the sales of that track to a GoFundMe set up for him and his family. Halle approached the label with the idea of scaling this project up by inviting other producers to sample Samih themselves or provide original tracks of their own.
 
Madhoun now stands as a compilation containing four productions sampling Samih, an interlude, and nine other dance tracks generously donated by producers from across the world.

DJ JM - Barrakuda EP

OUT 04/10/24

BUY: https://djjm1.bandcamp.com/album/barrakuda-ep

Long time Nervous Horizon affiliate DJ JM is back on the imprint with a new essential club EP titled ‘Barrakuda’. 

Marking the Lithuanian artist's third release on Nervous Horizon, after last year’s ‘Abnormal’ EP, ‘Barrakuda’ is perhaps the greatest expression to date of a confident and refined rawness that DJ JM has become known for. 

Composed as a frenzied collection of club cuts bearing the quintessential playful swagger of JM’s attack-drum style, Barrakuda’s freneticism is alleviated and accentuated through diverse drum steps and highly attitudinal melodics.The title track’s rolling percussive groove and warping crescendos which open the EP are followed by the fluctuating arpeggiated synths of the bristolian-tech influenced ‘Charge’. A driving tribal electro groove accompanied by a catchy 4/4 beep melody make “Swilling’’ a captivating club anthem, while the striped back electro warper ‘Unzyp’ reaches the edges of the industrial sonic realm with house accents and wailing sirens. The eerie mood of the proto-tribal-house inspired ‘Winted’ is the perfect lead to Barrakuda EP’s closing track ‘Sygnal’, which features label head TSVI and rounds the EP on a more straight up techno note, bearing all the hallmarks of the pair's respective signature sounds.

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), 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.”
