Ambu Bambu at Open Source Radio - 06.05.2023

o•rbyss aims to help soothe the queer spectrum and focus on the well-being of the community. Queer DJs are invited to submit a mix to showcase an alternative side to their music library outside of a rave and take us on a meditative journey. ✨

Notes on the mix:

"When I moved out of my hometown for my studies, I started seeking out professional help with my mental health which has helped me a lot. One of the things that really stuck with me during a session with my therapist was when I was particularly sad about having to grow up quickly and the sense of partly losing my childhood; my therapist asked me what I would say to my younger self if I had the chance.

With this mix, I want to embody the reply I gave her:
You matter. Your feelings matter. 
You are strong, you are brave, you are smart, you are kind, and you are beautiful.
You deserve to take up space and you deserve to take your time.

For this mix, I chose a lot of nostalgia-inducing tracks, and made a blend of lullaby-esque melodies, dreamy vocals, and sounds of hopefulness and optimistic looks towards the future.

Here's to those of us healing our inner child. 
Hug them for me."

Ambu Bambu is a DJ/producer and programmer at Relate Radio, based in Groningen, the Netherlands. With breakbeat, electro, and percussive experimentalism, they will take you on a bouncy journey through electronic broken rhythms with musical nods to their Chinese heritage.

fruit_salad_001 - ambu bambu

@ambu_bambu with this months Smoke mix.
With their radioshow ‘’Electronic Idenntity Crises’’ on Relate Radio and their newest endeavor ‘’fruit salad’’ they’re building a world consisting of ambient, experimental electronica and multi-sensory gatherings.

For this Smoke mix they created a heartfelt beautiful journey through embracing difference and wanting to belong. A tension between darkness & release guided by warped sonics and melancholic melodies, a musical reflection about floating in between.

Thanks Amber for this beautiful mix<3 


Ambu Bambu - Smoke #26

Music on @interceptrecords @syssistersounds @klementia
Curating @fruit-salad-nl 🍎🍐🍊🍋🍓🍒🍑🍏🍌

A soft spoken personality with a musical vision and creativity that screams. Hear me, feel me, move with me. Ambu Bambu’s music tells emotional stories of wanting to belong, yet fated to a destiny of floating in between. Urgent and rhythmic, with the occasional moment of lightness and release, their selections and productions span realms from breakbeat and bass, to dubbed-out fuzziness and oddball house and techno tracks just weird enough to make you doubt their genres. 

Equipped with a style that is difficult to put a finger on, yet is ever so recognizable, their drop in the pond has become a waterfall. Their welcome appearance in the Dutch underground scene is illustrated by key performances at RAUM, Down The Rabbit Hole and POING. Explorations into scenes abroad have been made, with appearances in Brussels, Berlin, London, and their fully self-booked The Motherland Tour through China. At the same time, they’re tethering through residencies at @relateradio and @sisu_crew, showing a strong desire to connect wherever they go.
