The Ambient Hour

Sixty minutes of relaxing music to unwind, de-stress or just sleep to

Hi All, unfortunately the next episode of Transverse Tempo won't be out today. I am aiming for it to be released next week, but will let you know how that goes.

Apologies, but the next episode will be along soon for your listening pleasure :)

Sincerely, your friendly neighbourhood radio host, C. Circo.

The Indie Beat Radio Roku App by @limebar

You may be familiar with The Indie Beat – a new internet radio station focused on music made by fediverse musicians and from the public domain. This station was brought to life earlier this year by the fabulous Miz Kirsten (@mizkirsten).

There are many ways to listen: 

…and if you own a Roku set top box or television with integrated Roku, you can listen through your soundbar or stereo system from the comfort of your sofa using the Roku app.

The app has gotten a visual glow-up for Pride month and supports the brand new Audio Interface channel as well! The Audio Interface channel joins the NHAM and Bonkwave channels with human curated, hand selected material to compliment the other great genre based stations. Community based radio at it’s finest, right here in the fediverse! 

More About The Indie Beat 

Through the magic of federation, if you are a musician looking to get airplay it is easy to do!

  • Sign up for an account at the federated music discovery and distribution site, Bandwagon.
  • Upload your album and check the box that says “Distribute to The Indie Beat”.
  • Make sure you use the appropriate genre hashtags so that your tracks get airplay on the correct station(s).

For writers and spoken word artists there is a Spoken Word channel as well! If you record the spoken word (whether that be educational, fiction, poetry, podcast or other) you can just as easily get your material on-air! Use the process above and use genre tag ‘SpokenWord’.

The station also hosts live video streams at and in the Roku app — check the site for upcoming events. If you are looking for a place to stream your own live event, this might be it! Contact @mizkirsten to schedule your event. And don’t forget to publish your event on bandwagon.fm and cal.gravitons.org.

And finally check out the TIBR Now Playing bot (@tibrnowplayingbot) to see which tracks are playing. You can discover and connect with new artists this way — let them know you love their music, share your favorite tracks, buy their music, hire them for your projects, or just chat!

Audio Interface Channel Launches on The Indie Beat Radio

As of today The Indie Beat Radio (TIBR) now has a TENTH channel with the introduction of Audio Interface (@audiointerface).

Already a firm favourite with Fedi music fans Audio Interface could previously be found on the non-federated platform, Mixcloud. But now its many guest mixes and great staple shows -which include Transverse Tempo by @CCirco, Forgotten Futures, Disturbing Dreams and The Ambient Hour (all by @xylander), and of course our very own NHAM Mixtapes Show by @ethicalrevolution- can be enjoyed on the station dedicated to Fedi Music.

This latest collaboration came about thanks to Fedi musician and Fedi music enthusiast Lime Bar: “After the very successful launch of the Bonkwave and NHAM channels on The Indie Beat radio, bringing two of my favourite sources of music discovery together with all of the other great music on TIBR, it seemed fitting that another favourite Fedi music discovery mechanism be brought to the airwaves,” he said.

“I reached out to both, made introductions, and asked if maybe an Audio Interface channel would work. Completely selfish motivation, really. 😉”

Pete Xylander who founded Audio Interface to promote independent electronic music shortly after Radio Free Fedi sunsetted had this to say: “I’m very excited to join in what Kirsten is doing with The Indie Beat Radio and I hope that new listeners will find their way to both TIBR and Audio Interface through this collaboration. The channel will play a mix of tracks from different Audio Interface shows along with full podcast episodes and scheduled blocks that tie in with shows. More info and schedule can be found here.”

Kirsten Lambertsen (@mizkirsten) who launched TIBR to showcase indie tunes from the Fediverse said, “I’m so happy and grateful to have Audio Interface launch a channel on The Indie Beat. We have @limebar to thank for connecting Pete and me (one of many acts of generosity). Collaborations like this are giving me life because I see them as harbingers of even more exciting things to come in the fedi music community. I love you guys, man!”

The Audio Interface channel becomes the tenth on TIBR: a third specially curated channel to go alongside five genre-defined channels, a spoken word channel and the channel of everything.

The Indie Beat Radio Channels:

So many options for discovering brilliant music from artists across the Fediverse!
