Loud And Quiet
How Brian d’Souza used the pandemic to launch Ambient Flo, a new kind of radio station
The Glasgow DJ and producer also known as Auntie Flo has found the space to innovate under isolation
Brian d’Souza never intended to create a radio station. Ambient Flo began its life as a series of impromptu livestreams filmed in his back garden. When the world shrunk into itself during the first lockdown, and we were all looking for ways to reach outwards, those livestreams offered connection and calm for its viewers.
As a maker of warm and richly textured dance music as Auntie Flo, as well as a killer DJ, it would be natural for him to create a virtual club space, as many others have. Instead, he curated ambient music sets; a welcoming place to breathe and filter out the noise.

It’ll be the band’s first in-depth interview about their debut album,
Bright Green Field, which was announced last week. It’s being released May 7 via Warp, and is a much stranger record than people are perhaps expecting. It’s brilliant too, and despite the bleakness of right now seeping into it, the band managed to find joy, unity and passion in its making.

“A balm to your soul” – so went the Observer review of Julianna Barwick’s album this July, which was inspired by the musician’s move from New York City to the wellbeing mecca of Los Angeles. Her one-woman choir of celestial vocals is as calming as the bit at the end of a yoga class where you get to shut your eyes and lie under a blanket, and the album, along with its title Healing Is a Miracle, had extra resonance in 2020. Music is so often a communal experience, but with those possibilities snatched away this year, many of us have looked to sounds like this to soothe us where human connection couldn’t. Another reviewer agreed, writing that Barwick’s new music was “a salve for the collective wound”.
