Tangela’s meteoric rise through the underground scene finds its origins in her late night radio slot on Eora / Sydney’s iconic FBi radio 94.5FM, currently in its fourth year of broadcasting all things “squelchy, wobbly, gooey, twisty”. Her signature style has translated from the airwaves to dance floors across many of Australia’s cult clubs, DIY warehouses and bush raves, including her own as founder of both dstreet and Minutiae Festival, while her record label Oomycota pushes into the experimental realm of techno and beyond. With performances on the European circuit at Monument Festival, Ouroboros, Trésor and Garage Noord, and back on home turf at Balista Festival and Diega over the summer, Tangela is a name impossible to ignore in Australian music.
