BASIS PODCAST 018: DEBORAH X

Saturday 27 January 2024
CTM 2024 – Sustain
OXI

Genre-busting energy-driven aural narratives, full of unexpected twists and turns. With formative encounters with the jungle, dubstep, and grime scene in her native Rotterdam, audiovisual artist and graphic designer Soft Break melds the tender with the tumultuous in her work. Delicate vocals skitter atop footwork and hip-hop snares, heavy percussion, and heavier bass in works that feel both piercing and at times ethereal. A founder of the collective AMPFEMININE, her work amplifies the voices of femme-identifying artists, musicians, and other collectives, causes, and brands.

Rotterdam-born DJ, audiovisual artist, and graphic designer Soft Break crafts genre-defying, high-energy sets full of unexpected twists. Inspired by Rotterdam’s jungle, dubstep, and grime scenes, her dynamic performances blend gentle vocals, percussion, hard drums, footwork, hip hop, and sub-shaking bass.

A graduate of Berlin's No Shade DJ Mentoring Program (2020), Soft Break has captivated audiences at iconic events like Dekmantel, De School, Rolling Loud, Rewire, CTM, Boiler Room, and the Venice Biennale. As a co-founder of AMPFEMININE, she champions femme-identifying talent through mixes, events, and bookings, solidifying her place as a rising force in the scene.

Shift Return #12 [Echobox Radio]

On A Dose of AMPFEMININE, we’re diving into the messy, beautiful world of collaboration and collectivity. Each episode brings in guests — DJs and non-DJs — who’ve been part of collectives or collaborations, sharing what’s worked, what’s been hard, and why they keep showing up. It’s about the joy of shared vision, the friction that forces growth, the laughter in late-night planning sessions. Alongside the conversations, we’ll feature mixes from our guests and ourselves — sounds that reflect different ways of being and creating together.
