"Kelora presents a songscape accompanying their new album Sleepers out via True Panther on the 21st February 2025. Sleepers is an emotional panorama that channels a world of dreamlike chaos and unreality. It's the apex of a journey that Kelora began in Glasgow, as a nocturnal songwriting duo working with acoustic guitars. Over time, the duo have grown into their own as songwriters and producers, building a sonic home for their music from the debris of warped samples, reanimated dead sounds, and software synths."

We're back with another mind-bending mix coming from the Belgian scene, courtesy of Loto Retina. In the second mix in a series of two mixes curated by Mika Oki, Loto delivers a tough, bass-heavy journey full of distorted low ends and a punk edge.

Mika Oki: "When you step into Loto’s music world, there is no going back. Loto is one of the most talented aliens I’ve had the pleasure to meet. If they had enough hands, they would play drums, bagpipes, tabla, guitar and keys at the same time. Their performances are not just music, it’s a full-on experience with generous, colourful, percussive sounds. A vibe that only Loto can dish out with pure authenticity, no half  measures."

For this month, Stride Breaker returns with a lovely bouquet of live acts from Nexcyia, Theo Alexander and yours truly + surprise performances from Zoe Darcee and DJ Paradise. The program was held a Kwia (DE) on February 7th 2025 with an engaged and enthusiastic audience. I’m very lucky to have been allowed to put this lineup together at their space. Shout out to my girl Ingrid for co-hosting the event!

Highlights from this night include a live rendition of the renowned 3XL banger ‘Reality Beat’ with Zoe Darcee and DJ Paradise (which starts the mix) as well as a special performance marking my first collaborations with Prague-based composer Theo Alexander and Berlin based producer Nexcyia. Additionally, a spontaneous collab with my love Shy (DJ Paradise) and an easter egg at the very end produced by the iconic, multifaceted Ludwig Wandinger called 'Signed Sealed Delivered'.

The light, the warmth.
Wakes me, it feels soft,  
My eyes opened.
Listening, no sound. Everything quiet.
Dust suspended in the beams of sun light.

Particles start to dance by my movement.
My mind starts to wake up....
