Furtive are delighted to bring to the International market a selection of sounds from Ireland's electronic production scene. It's common knowledge that Ireland is a country brimming with musical talent, with a number of the worlds largest music exports coming from the Emerald Isle. However, we feel our original electronic music has somewhat been cast aside and may not have been getting the attention it deserves.

Furtive Sounds is a collection of tracks from Furtive's catalogue, representing a broad range of styles and genres in electronic music. While one or more tracks on the compilation may not appeal to someone, we believe that there is certainly something there for everyone. Furthering Furtive's ethos of "Only Original Electronic Music", we believe Furtive Sounds is a platform for talented Irish producers to have their original sounds heard - amidst a scene in Ireland right now that is focused on DJs playing other people's music.


Line-up:
Augusto's Liquid Life is the latest moniker of Wicklow native Thomas Mc'Ilwaine, one half of now defunct experimental/electronica group Daddy Longlegs. Thomas has previously released on Quarter Inch Collective, a well sought after Irish label that focuses on left-field and underground music. Augusto's Liquid Life is the natural evolutionary process - taking the forward thinking melodic ideas of his other projects and presenting them in a New-Wave and House music context.

LAH, a.k.a Krister Timusk, is a Minimal House producer from Carlow. A well-known name on the Carlow club circuit, Chris spends his spare time honing his production skill and confirming his reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the studio. LAH tracks are precise, insightful and insatiably danceable. Chris pushes Minimal House to it’s limit, unafraid to experiment with luscious pads, micro-rhythms and clever use of reverb to create tracks that are absolutely timeless.

moossmann is Daragh Murray, producer of electronic music and Dublin native. Daragh makes Progressive House, but insists on contributing to the genre in it’s least “current” iteration. moossmann is all about pushing the boundaries of House music with analogue emulation and ‘Found Sound’, creating melodic instrumental pieces that one can’t help but dance to. moossmann has been slowly creeping up on the Irish music scene, having played his music at 10DaysInDublin, The Beatyard and Hard Working Class Heroes festivals.

Core Minimal is a well known name on the Dublin underground scene. Originally from Mayo, Core Minimal, a.k.a Christopher McNicholas, has performed at some of the finest underground parties in Dublin. Having thoroughly earned his stripes as a DJ, Christopher brings to the table a veritable record box of original minimal techno. Core Minimal music shows a mastery of both analogue gear and software, a killer combination of the darkest analogue sounds and subtle hooks with chest-pounding four-on-the-floor to boot.
