Beats, Beaches, and Brazilian Nights: Arielle Free Lights Up Routes
19/12/2024
In the latest episode of Routes, Clara Amfo is joined by international DJ, producer, and broadcaster Arielle Free for a journey brimming with music, memories, and wanderlust.
From the Scottish Highlands to the bright lights of Brazil, Arielle’s travels have shaped her just as much as her career. Growing up in Glasgow, she shares how train journeys to London sparked her independence, while a stint interrailing around Europe ignited a lifelong passion for adventure.
Arielle debunks some classic Scottish myths—no, not all Scots love the cold or ski—shares her favourite travel memories, and how she balances the chaos of DJ life with moments of calm, from grounding herself on Ibiza’s beaches to creating music during long train journeys.
She opens up about performing at Brazil’s Tomorrowland to a crowd of 10,000, the thrill of testing new tracks, and the joy of sharing travel adventures with loved ones—especially her mum, a self-proclaimed dance floor queen.
Whether she’s reminiscing about her wildest gigs or revealing her dreams of DJing in South Korea, Arielle’s vibrant energy shines through.
