Podcast Series 57 | Adhémar

🫧 Recorded live at Sauna Social Club on 6th September 2025

"A rare late summer's night in London where the light breeze softly licks your skin with no added bite. The warehouse roller door wide open to the stars, quiet chatter wafting out onto the humming alley, warm and vibrant. The perfect Friday evening. I played liquidy sounds that ebbed and flowed with the tides of people coming and going from the Sauna. A soundtrack wrapped in steam and bubbles, a grounding meditation to journal to or play along, meandering game of checkers."

Tangela is a Sydney / Eora based DJ & radio host of Citrus on FBi Radio 94.5. Her style of aural storytelling is as distinct as it is varied. She guides the listener through deep, subby, subterranean worlds, encouraging listeners to float up through spacious, textural soundscapes full of unexpected turns, all with a nimble and playful touch. You’ll find yourself wondering how it is you got here from where you began.

NICHE w/ Ikävä Pii - 17th November 2025

The recording of my ambient set at Sustain Release Year 11, opening the Bossa Lounge on Saturday evening from 9PM-midnight. 

This set is 3 hours from the heart journeying through time&space across ambient, downtempo, trip hop, acoustic instrumentals, synthesiser pieces and all inbetween 💞 

This is one of my favourite ambient DJing experiences I've had, I felt so at home in the Bossa Lounge and such a deep sense of attentiveness from the audience, thank you to all those who travelled with me on this trip.

Feat. music from tarotplane, Wilson Tanner, Re:Axis, Artekaft, Biosphere, Vangelis, Martin Stürtzer, VC-118A, LF58, Pablo’s Eye, Kaspiann, Daniel[I], Miriam Makeba, Robbie Basho, Rene Lorenzo, Neotropic, Mad Professor, Jefferson Airplane +++

Thank you so much to Aurora Halal and Amelia Holt for the invitation to be a part of thie year's Sustain Release, it meant so much to play at this special gathering. 

I hope you enjoy this memory ❤︎ ⟡⋆˙
