Music for healing with Brooklyn DJ Shira Dennis

"In early January, I was roofied at a club I have spent a lot of time at. In my subconscious I think I recognized that I had been drugged because I started feeling uncomfortable. I tried to leave once I felt this but unfortunately collapsed unconscious and hit my head. I suffered a skull fracture and hematoma that had me in the hospital for a week, followed by months of recovery where I had to re-learn how to engage in daily life. It has taken me away from DJing in the way I’ve been doing it for almost ten years, and also took me away from being a teacher until just two weeks ago when I went back to work. It was one of the hardest things I’ve had to go through in a really long time. Once I was home from the hospital and settled a bit into recovery mode, I really wanted to engage with DJing but didn’t know how. I’ve always loved Theory Therapy and also listened to a lot of the mixes in my hospital bed so I reached out to see if I could contribute. I never had made a mix of this nature, and had to do it as a studio mix via Abelton because I couldn’t DJ or even really stand up. My friend Karl, who is amazing, helped me learn Abelton in little chunks and we did a lot of this together. It was really emotionally healing for me to learn something new, have creative time with my friend, and also lean into the music I was listening to in the hospital, and create something that was different from my usual style and mixes."

Theory Therapy 77: Shi Shi

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.
