Kate's debut EP 'Sprint' celebrates and cements a genre-fluid ethos with four tracks where texture and atmosphere take precedence over convention.

The EP’s opener ‘Harpan’ is a bold ambient statement, brimming with otherworldly, bell-like piano riffs, humming pads, long, gliding sweeps and sparse percussion. Written in the stillness of winter, ‘Harpan’ captures the quiet beauty of solitude and anonymity amid movement. The title track ‘Sprint’ shifts gears. A synth-surge launches the track before a slow release into breakdowns, trading the opener’s introspection for unbridled motion. ‘Hoover’ deepens the momentum with lurching rhythms, a drunken bassline, and tangled, footwork-inspired snares. Finally, ‘The Embrace’ delivers the most club-focused moment, rattling congas and panning djembes ride a punchy kick, giving way to a dramatic, techno-infused finale.

Intentional in its construction and unbound by genre, Sprint marks a powerful new chapter for Kate Miller.

Jaywalking with Yumi @ The Lot Radio 06-09-2025

It is not easy to find Saphira, and it is even harder to leave. If it so chooses, the city will appear first as a quivering mirage on the horizon, second as a blinding stone mirror, and third as a sprawling maze whose sounds and sensations embrace the traveler in a slow and languid frenzy. Quite famously, it is home to countless locked eyes and spellbound hearts. It is a place whose deep currents of longing, like the sound of its ocean shore, seem to rumble and hiss under the surface of every word and gesture, in every bead of sweat that blooms from the glimmering skin of its people.

Saphira is at all times caught between a low-lying sun to the west and a glowing moon to the east. They hang above the skyline with an eerie stillness, watching the city’s tireless creatures writhe together in tenderness and sin, casting upon them a pale, silvery gold light that hangs heavy in the humid air. It is in the tension of this peculiar light and its slender, tangled shadows that Saphira’s longing grows dense and time thickens within its walls. Traveler and resident alike are suspended in an endless eros, caught tightly between pain and pleasure, between the sting of saltwater in one’s eyes and the sticky sweetness of ripe fruit on one’s lips. 

Perhaps this is why Saphira’s radios and televisions stutter with phrases and images so ghostly yet so intimately familiar, why its dusty buildings seem always to crumble so gloriously yet never collapse, why around every corner there is a street that so closely resembles one of a distant and loving memory, and why the curling flakes of paint on its walls and facades will reach out against the heat without fading or falling. It is a city inside of want and outside of time.

WRECKS WRADIO - SONIDO MIX 5 - PHRAN

this mix is named after by my favorite collection of poems by louise gluck, a copy of which was gifted to me by my poetry mentor who guided me in my early years writing. The title refers to an early collection of Dante, detailing his love for his eternal muse, Beatrice. In italian, “Vita nova” means new life. 

a few weeks ago my copy of Vita Nova was lost in a electrical fire in my bedroom along many of my most treasured items, books, and letters  - these things i have taken with me through every move, no matter how temporary. yet, as i searched through the rubble, i found that a couple of my most delicate things survived. i feel there must be some symbolism to this. 

since then, i’ve been reflecting on the bittersweetness of renewal and regeneration, of creating space to mourn what was lost - and of finding beauty in the knowledge that each of these material things are connected to individuals and experiences i treasure. 

this mix is filled with tracks i adore, many of which i have been coming back to over the last couple years, or have been shown to me by people i love. it is a live recording from when i played after the brilliant Sybil @syberkid in montreal this past winter. It’s a little rough around the edges — but as always, comes straight from the heart.
