In 'STROKE_MY_EGO_RE.MIXED,' Osadolor reworks his entire 'stroke my ego' (2022) series to carefully document their coming of age with recorded reflections, conversations, and candid moments of Blackqueerness. In this self-referential project, Osadolor further expands the sonic possibilities of podcasting to embody her ever-growing sense of self. 'STROKE_MY_EGO_RE.MIXED' is an abstraction of an album pushed forward through Osadolor's fluid curation of fleeting yet thought-provoking interludes. As one seamless track with ebbs and flows, this ambitious episode reappropriates a podcast into the dynamic realms of sound art and design.
Inspired by the D-I-Y techniques of Blackqueer DJs, Osadolor doesn't shy away from switching up our listening groove by slowing elements down, quickly moving on, and allowing messages to linger. With production elements of dance, techno, ambient and noise music, R&B, southern hip hop, and afro-rhythms, Osadolor makes a diasporic soundscape that points to the multiplicity of Blackqueerness by also rendering elements inaudible, glitchy, and distorted.
Navigating the daily trials and tribulations of Blackqueerness, Osadolor dives into desirability, media representation, childhood, romance, music, nightlife, spirituality, Afropresentism, self-love, and more. 'STROKE_MY_EGO_RE.MIXED' is like a time capsule of how Osadolor feels and wants to feel about life, an ode to self-realization and personal growth in community with others.
