Strider

**Strider** is a California-based DJ and producer known for his genre-blurring beats that mash up funk, hip-hop, and electronic music. A fixture in the Bay Area’s underground scene, he’s carved out a space with releases like *Seasons With You* and *Reverse Engineering*, which showcase his knack for retro grooves and futuristic soundscapes. His tracks often feature cheeky samples and collaborations with artists like Amp Live (of Zion I) and members of the Hieroglyphics crew, blending laid-back vibes with head-nodding rhythms. Recent drops like *Sucka Beatz / All I Want* and the *Herbsmoke (TC Remix)* highlight his playful, experimental edge, while staying rooted in the funk-heavy ethos of his longtime homebase, All Purpose Records. Strider’s music feels like a late-night drive through Oakland—raw, nostalgic, and full of surprises.
