Salamanda consists of Uman Therma [Sala] and Yetsuby [Manda], two ambient artists/DJs from Seoul who have been very active since finding each other and their delicate sound under lockdown. In the past year, however, the leftfield duo has reached a wider range of listeners around the world through their releases as well as radio shows on NTS and Seoul Community Radio, amongst others. Salamanda – whom you probably encountered on a few must-watch lists for 2023 – believe that every sound has beauty, and love to experiment with any kind of sound they encounter. This has led to a full EP based on the concept of spheres, as well as their most recent album embracing ‘ashbalkum’: the realisation that reality is just a dream.
