Furtive for Radio Raheem Milano

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.

Honcho Podcast Series 116: Furtive

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.

Unvanquishable Summer (Furtive // Bounce House, August 2022)

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.

Dj Set @ Astra Secret Location 4_ Bcn_(07.07.18)

Manifesting techno as a warped and acerbic tangle of textures, Furtive hesitantly insists on blazing his own trails of unconventional sound design, trying to reconcile techno’s brutal, implacable presence with glittering, gossamer atmospheres, both in his studio work and in DJ sets.

Furtive grew up as a bit of a perpetual cultural outsider: born and raised somewhere in Southern California’s sun-weathered and dusty Inland Empire, but spending many formative years in Berlin, he grew up between three languages and even more histories. Furtive’s musical arc zigzags wildly: from classical music, russian pop, and a formative, fateful exposure to trance in childhood, to trashy metalcore and gabber in high school, and later to the transcendental worlds of gloomy experimental metal, cascadian singer-songwriters, and the thrill of exploring a dear friend’s vinyl collection on sunny afternoons. 

While Furtive’s production is fundamentally techno refracted through these aesthetic and conceptual sensibilities and some wacky studio idiosyncrasies, the real drive for his output is the creative cauldron of Washington, DC. Furtive arrived in the nation’s capital in early 2015, and immediately threw himself into the strange, scuzzy, and enchanting underground spaces of the District. In 2018, Furtive was tapped to join Sequence, and is now part of the colorful collective organizing some of the District’s zaniest techno parties. 

Furtive also moonlights as an illustrator, splattering ink and breaking crayons in the studio. 

Furtive’s world is a riot of color, sensation, and joy.

In his words:
“I aim for the stars, but sometimes I land in a pool of mermaids.”
