A Tribal Smile
Space music by A Tribal Smile
Free · Designed for iPad
Perfect for headphones, snacks, and mild existentialism. Tune into A Tribal Smile Radio for eclectic, hand‑crafted space basement sounds.
What is A Tribal Smile? They are THE legendary space basement band. ATS is an ever-morphing ensemble of musicians from around the world who collaborate in-person and/or on-line to create unique musically sonic experiences. Their mothership is in geostationary orbit above metro Detroit, Michigan; they do visit us from time to time.
What kinds of music is this? A delightful variety of styles from electronic, avant-garde, dance, and chill to alternative, rock, psychedelic, and space basement. You’ll hear all of A Tribal Smile’s recent color vinyl LP releases, plus individual songs and cosmic emissions too. Something for everyone!
Listen to an exquisite stream of consciousness wherever you go. Use this iOS app and/or enable the Alexa skill to enjoy electronic, psychedelic, alternative, trip-tastic space basement, college radio, and other styles of music – all hosted by eccentric DJs from around the world.
Who are the radio station hosts? Like a college radio station, this 24x7 streaming broadcast is hosted by a charmingly strange assortment of DJs who add unique styles to the experience, including Jonny Socko, Danny Mothra, Oliver Middlebrook, Spanky Bottoms, Eddie Gold Obvious, Gary Hurglewitz, and more!
What does it cost? While there’s no cost to use these free services, let’s consider the cost of not streaming A Tribal Smile daily. Just think, you could be grooving to toe-tapping tunes, drifting away with chill psychedelia, and discovering your new most favorite song. What’s to lose?
Where can I learn more? The fine folks at A Tribal Smile routinely update this website, tribalsmile.com. In addition, they rarely but not never use social media stuff, facebook.com/tribalsmile and instagram.com/atribalsmile. They also use carrier pigeons and smoke signals, too.
How much of the above is real? Well, we think that most of what’s truthful is real. They really are THE legendary space basement band. But the bit about the carrier pigeons and smoke signals was mostly added as a laugh and, to the best of our knowledge, they’re not actually in geostationary orbit above the planet. At least we don’t think so for sure.
What else is there to say? We say, please press play up above and/or buy the records and/or pick your favorite streaming service and/or download the app and/or enable the skill and listen for yourself. If a particular tune doesn’t suit your fancy, maybe get a glass of water or whatnot and by the time you come back, something very different will most likely be playing.
Come join the sonic adventure!
Ratings & Reviews
The Tribal Smile Radio DJs got restless, so 2.2 adds more mischief to your airwaves.
• A new Dance timer secretly counts down to a full‑screen Zen Boogie light-show.
• Track titles now slip in with buttery transitions instead of jumping on‑air.
• When you’re paused, rotating taglines whisper strange little invitations from the space basement.
• We sprinkled in tasteful haptics and UI polish so the app feels as good as it sounds.
Hit Play, start the Dance countdown, and wait for your device to launch a Zen Boogie party screen—complete with motion, color, and just enough chaos. Off‑air, rotating taglines and blurbs keep the space basement talking to you. On‑air, Now Playing glows a little brighter with smoother animations and emoji‑wrapped song titles. We also added soft haptics and subtle visual tweaks across the app, because your ears shouldn’t have all the fun.
Install the update and come hang out in the basement.
