In this interview, the Blue Mountains duo join Sindy at Area 3000 Radio to talk about what it meant to fall back in love with club music, how they both independently landed on the same album title in the middle of the night, and why making Eight has been one of the most joyful creative experiences of their career. Expect the origin story behind the Hermitude name (it involves a Ren & Stimpy bender and a lift ride), a Bunnings collab origin story, and a candid look at what's kept a 25-yearcreative partnership alive, including the times it almost wasn't.

  ŽIVA: ŽIIVA, perfectionism & rebuilding from scratch

  Apr 15, 202657 min

  We welcome special guest ŽIVA - the solo project of Croatian-born, Melbourne-based artist Lucija Ivšić, whose second album ŽIIVA is out now. Lucija's story is genuinely remarkable: she fronted acclaimed Croatian post-punk band Punčke from age 14, touring 30 countries and sharing stages with Queens of the Stone Age, before walking away at the band's peak, moving to Melbourne, and starting completely over. Now a PhD researcher at Monash University and lecturer at Monash Arts, she creates visceral, bilingual electronic music built live in real time through looping, vocal processing, and instrumentation. In this episode we talk about why ŽIIVA almost didn't come out - the perfectionism spiral, the friendship fallouts, and the knee injury that happened mid-stage-dive during a Brunswick show, leaving her bedridden for months with a metal brace. We also get into what it actually takes to build a song live from nothing in front of an audience, how Croatian folk traditions and language became a tool for reclaiming identity in displacement, and the limited edition 3D-printed CD she hand-assembled herself. ŽIIVA is out now. ŽIVA plays Cactus Room, Thornbury on Friday 17 April.

In this conversation, he opens up about how he learned to DJ in just two weeks before his first gig, playing back-to-back with one of his biggest inspirations, the importance of not comparing yourself to others, and why Four Tet changed the way he thinks about music. A genuine, honest chat about creative growth, staying grounded, and what it means to just keep showing up.

  Zuri: Manchester, Melbourne, and conducting the room

  Mar 23, 202616 min

  Born in San Sebastián, raised between the Basque Country and Seville, and now firmly rooted in Manchester, DJ Zuri has built her sound by moving through the world with open ears. We sat down with her at the Area 3000 studio to talk about learning to DJ in just a week under the wing of a female mentor she deeply admired, why a residency is the best DJ school money can't buy, and how listening to jazz and classical music keeps her club sound fresh. We discuss Hong Kong's dance floor culture, the surprising parallels between Melbourne and Manchester, and what it means to buy a house and "get engaged to a city."
