This week’s transmission drifts in from deep winter hibernation as Etherea reflects on tenderness, exhaustion, and the small joys cracking through the cold. After a friend-date at the Nutcracker rekindles a sense of seasonal magic, she guides listeners through a “downtempo glitch angel” mix full of shimmer, ache, and soft emotional circuitry. Along the way, Etherea traces memories, moods, and cosmic detours through tracks by Yaeji, Lena Platonos, Cibo Matto, and more. There’s a tease of a new DJ collaboration blooming in the new year, plus a pulse-check on the Bay’s queer and trans underground. Settle in, sip something warm, and float.
