Stride Breaker
12.19.24
The broken stride should lead to a pivot. For two hours, allow these provocations to pull you through thoughts of being and unbeing, seeing and unseeing, direction and maplessness. Let a current of illbient, poetry and DNB carry you out of the static of the day or night. Explore with Yves the contours of lyric, narrative, research and meditation through this active listening series. Stay on your toes for easy pivoting.
“we may be moved…sometimes we may dream…we might even think a little”

For this month’s Stride Breaker Radio episode, I asked my new friends in Berlin to curate and premier the first of their collaborative mix series!
Senseu is a dj duo – kiku & soft squadron – based in Berlin. Both artists are deeply invested in storytelling in their musical practices and they’re both embedded in Berlin’s hybrid-ambient underworld. Every time I’ve heard a mix by kiku specifically, I’ve always been struck by the agility he displays as he switches between vibes. It’s always captivating and original.
This mix is undeniably cool. By that I mean, I was personally floored by the selection and the narrative woven by these two djs. The vibe slips through your fingers like sand in the wind … much how a year flies by soo suddenly… It’s got everything Stride Breaker is about – dubs, wubs, muddy vocals and broken beats. I’m very very very blessed to have the last Stride Breaker of the year be this incredible Shoe Trip mix a la Sensou. I hope these two hours carry you off gently, while still keeping you on your toes.
Mad love, always!
