@mr_mur_ray is a NYC based DJ and the founder of Ladies On Wax, Outwatch, & FTF Records.  Here's a few words from the artist about the mix...

This podcast has been a real journey for me… like flipping through the pages of an old journal, seeing how my taste has shifted, evolved, and expanded over time. But even as I grow, I always keep that kid in mind… the one with gauges, blasting Senses Fail and Taking Back Sunday, feeling everything way too much..

My love for EBM, techno, and electro isn’t something new. It started back in my earliest encounters with electronic music… first as a raver falling hard for the Libertine sound, where everything felt raw, rebellious, and punk as hell. That energy never left me.

Making this mix felt like I was searching for something… meaning, maybe, or some forgotten part of myself. Each track came together not because it was supposed to, but because it felt right. It wasn’t about making something crowd-pleasing or polished… it was about letting the music speak, letting it pull me wherever it wanted to go. And honestly…I had the best time making it.

This isn’t a background listen. You don’t have to get it. You don’t have to like it. But if you give it a chance… if you let it sink in a little… it might just move you.

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.”
