Built by GLENDER
Portuguese DJ, producer, and founder of ASMAR Records. 20+ years, 100+ releases, 15+ countries. Ancient Wisdom, Modern Spirit.
The creator
GLENDER is a renowned Portuguese DJ and Producer with a career spanning nearly two decades. His music has been featured multiple times in DJ RAVIN's Buddha Bar compilations — including standout tracks like “Echoes,” “Piece of Heaven,” and “Tribal Voices” — and his releases have consistently topped the Beatport charts.
From founding Niraya Records in 2010 to performing at Buddha Bar Dubai, Festival del Corazon in Mexico, Winter Festival Luxembourg, and top venues across Portugal, GLENDER has built a reputation for sonic excellence. His signature sound lives at the crossroads of Tribal House, Afro House, and Organic House.
The philosophy
“Music is a portal. Every beat is a step into something deeper — a ritual that connects us to the primal pulse of existence.” — GLENDER
Every GLENDER performance is more than a DJ set — it is a ritual. The dark, immersive atmospheres, the carefully curated sonic arcs, and the connection with the audience create an experience that transcends entertainment. The spiral — the visual identity of GLENDER — is a symbol of infinite growth, cyclical evolution, and the hypnotic nature of rhythm.
Why SPIRAL is free
SPIRAL exists because mastering should be accessible — not locked behind subscriptions. GLENDER built this tool for producers who believe that the final stage of music creation should be about the sound, not about paying for a SaaS dashboard. The tool is funded by voluntary donations and sustained by the belief that good tools create good music — and good music builds careers.
ASMAR Records
GLENDER is also the founder of ASMAR Records — an independent Portuguese electronic music label where ancestral memory, organic rhythm, and contemporary sound meet. The label's sound is rooted in the landscapes of Portugal: the golden plains of Alentejo, the granite villages of Trás-os-Montes, the memory of the land and its people.
ASMAR does not represent a single genre — it represents a sensibility. Afro House, Organic House, Tribal and Deep House, cinematic electronics, organic percussion, and voices with emotion and identity.
