The Vortex | Podcast #022 | Furtive by The Vortex published on 2019-08-27T13:14:36Z Bio: Furtive is a Washington DC-based producer, DJ, and event organizer. In his studio work and in DJ sets, Furtive attempts to reconcile techno’s pounding, implacable presence with glittering & playful flourishes. Furtive is a member of SEQUENCE, a colorful collective organizing and promoting some of the District’s zaniest warehouse techno parties. He has additionally dabbled in promoting techno nights at various clubs around the District. In the past year, Furtive has released an EP on Warok Music, as well as self-published several releases. He has supported internationally-celebrated artists including Wata Igarashi, Rhyw, Rrose, Umfang, Developer, Adam X, and Tensal in various warehouses and clubs, and has appeared alongside US staples like Juana, Mary Yuzovskaya, Akua, and Ron Jackson. A Letter from Furtive: This is a fairly straight-forward mix of the sort of rippling techno that pulls me into that state. It’s a blend of dense, pounding, and warping techno, gradually building from pensive atmospheres to increasingly heavier cuts and hopefully driving you deeper into the dance floor magic, deeper into the vortex. If you’re reading this, you likely know of the transformative effect of raving. Dancing on an energized dancefloor to a driving hypnotic pulse has a certain magic. Scuzzy dancefloors and dimly lit dives become nurturing corners where friends and freaks can congregate to just be themselves. Involuntary smiles spread across faces. Quotidian worries melt away. The lesson here? Just keep wiggling. We’re all just searching for our own little pockets of bliss.
