Azu Tiwaline conjures sound as a space of belonging, a vessel where rhythms, textures, and atmospheres open gateways into shared inner worlds. Rooted in her Tunisian heritage and the vast expanse of the El Djerid desert, her work channels Saharan frequencies into entrancing rhythms, fusing dub’s spatial depth with techno’s kinetic energy. With acclaimed releases on IOT Records and Livity Sound, she has established herself as a vital force in contemporary electronic music, one whose soundscapes merge cosmic awareness with earthbound pulse.
For Orb Podcast 097, Azu presents a deeply introspective and cinematic mix, revealing another side of her musical world. Drawing from film scores, ambient textures, and personal inspirations, the mix is less about technique and more about evocation. It invites listeners into atmospheres where silence, space, and memory speak as powerfully as rhythm.
“In this mix, I wanted to explore a more introspective, cinematic dimension of my influences,” she explains. “These sounds are part of my daily life and my creative process—they inspire the way I think about space, tension, silence, and storytelling through music. It’s an invitation to sink into atmospheres, memories, and images, and to share another facet of my world: one that might be quieter, but no less intense.”
