Next on tentacular, we’re thrilled to host a mix from the multi-faceted Lucie Stepankova, known as Avsluta (@avsluta): a London-based sound artist, DJ, and curator. With a focus on the liminal spaces between ambient and dance music, Avsluta creates evocative experiences that invite deep, active listening and emotional connection.

Lucie is the force behind @introspective_electronics, a platform dedicated to exploring ambient-infused sounds through regular radio shows, podcasts, and curated live events. Her collaborative projects include co-running Sonic Garden—an experimental ambient and downtempo event series in partnership with AMOENUS—and co-curating @terra-obscura-london alongside DJ/producer Alicia, a bi-monthly exploration of ambient-tinged UK bass and progressive club sounds.

Through her live performances, Lucie improvises with a mix of objects, field recordings, electronics, and digital processing, crafting speculative soundscapes that embody the essence of nature and emotion. Her DJ sets are equally diverse, seamlessly flowing between ambient, downtempo, UK bass, and off-kilter deep techno, blending atmospheres that resonate both physically and soulfully.

She shared with us a few words with her mix

Tentacular 21 ~ Avsluta

Blume graces the Untitled 909 mix series with a playful session that toys with the idea of slowing down whilst staying in motion, an always shifting state of being, with a psychedelic thread running throughout.

Blume is an artist whose creative journey spans continents, emotions, and a diverse range of musical influences. Born in Buenos Aires and now based in Berlin, Blume’s path into electronic music is deeply rooted in personal experiences that shape both her DJ sets and the ethos behind her record store, Format Wars.

Constantly inspired by the world around her, whether it’s the transience of Berlin, the vibrant chaos of Buenos Aires, or the quiet, reflective moments in her studio, watching autumn winds stir the streets,Blume's connection to music runs deep, starting with the folklore of Argentina, the haunting live presence of Underworld, and a fateful introduction to Aphex Twin that forever shifted how she listens to and engages with sound. These moments have contributed to her story-like approach to music curation, where every set feels like an emotional, almost cinematic experience.

Currently winding down a busy year, Blume is shifting gears—scaling back on DJing to focus on her own musical production. As she prepares to dive into sound design in 2025, Blume remains an artist who is always evolving—whether behind the decks, running her label, or simply embracing the quiet moments that inspire her next step.

In the accompanying interview, we chat to Blume about her life changing introductions to electronic music, how her dad brought music to life for her when she was growing up, her journey founding the digital record store Format Wars and the experience of bringing it to a physical space, how living in South America and Europe has influenced her work and more.

Untitled 909 Podcast 207: Blume

오랫만에 돌아온 꿈 팟캐스트의 55번째 에피소드는 조지아 티빌리시를 중심으로 활동하고 있는 HVL의 57분 앰비언트 디제이 세트와 함께 합니다.

HVL (Bassiani / Tbilisi)
테크노의 성지로 불리는 저명한 클럽 Bassiani의 레지던트 아티스트 HVL은 2009년 데뷔한 이래 트빌리시 클럽 씬을 중심으로 급격하게 번성하고 있는 테크노 무브먼트의 선두에 서 있다. HVL은 오랜 시간동안 다양한 장르와 스타일을 탐구해왔고, 라이브 공연과 DJ 세트를 통해 만들어진 그의 독보적인 사운드는 그동안 Bassiani Records, Rough House Rosie, Tabernacle Records, Organic Analogue와 같은 언더그라운드 전초기지에서 발매된 솔로 앨범들을 통해 잘 드러나고 있다.⠀
Organic Analogue Records에서 발매된 HVL의 풀-랭스 데뷔작이자 트빌리시 사운드를 정의하는 수작- ‘Ostati LP(2018)’는 매우 절제된 분위기의 아웃보드 하우스와 테크노를 중심으로 기존 HVL의 역동성을 매혹적으로 발전시킨 작품으로 높이 평가받고 있다. HVL은 홈 그라운드인 트빌리시를 넘어서 Berghain, Hï Ibiza, 그리고 Berlin Atonal까지 세계 최고의 댄스 플로어에서 높은 수준의 라이브 쇼와 DJ 세트를 선보이고 있다.

The long-awaited 55th episode of the kkum Podcast returns with a 57-minute ambient DJ set from HVL, based in Tbilisi, Georgia.

HVL (Bassiani / Tbilisi)
First coming to attention as a member of Okinawa Lifestyle duo in 2009, Bassiani/Horoom resident Gigi Jikia a.k.a HVL has become a leading voice of thriving techno movement centered around Tbilisi club scene. Since starting solo career in 2013, HVL was busy exploring more diverse range of genres and styles. His solo releases which have appeared on underground outposts like Bassiani Records, Rough House Rosie, Tabernacle Records and Organic Analogue, have testified to taste that’s also reflected in his Live performances and DJ sets.
The outstanding debut Ostati LP on Organic Analogue Records (2018), intended as a manuscript of the sound of Tbilisi, is a seductive update on the established HVL’s dynamics, centered on outboard house and techno with a noticeably understated mood.
As HVL’s reputation as a solo artist grows, so does his status as a selector and DJ. Jikia has taken his skillfully crafted Live shows and DJ sets to new heights in 2018, hitting up some of the best dancefloors in the world from Berghain and Hï Ibiza to infamous Berlin Atonal.

Following https://soundcloud.com/mikkel-rev's debut album on the label in 2023, ‘The Art Of Levitation’, the Norwegian artist returns with Journey Beyond, a selection of tracks demonstrating his innate ability to conjure the most atmospheric trance music, irrespective of BPM.

Journey Beyond was created from an extensive set of tracks sent to the label that were initially sequenced as two shorter EPs. With the first offering a slower 80bpm trance style, and the second EP, a classic ~130bpm trance style. However, over time, with tracks swapping in and out, ASIP had the idea to create a mixed version, progressing through the tracks and increasing bpm's, showcasing Mikkel’s ability in bridging euphoric worlds - and a style that is often reserved for Mikkel’s live performances amongst the forest raves held as part of the Ute Collective in Norway.

Classic trance and the art of a DJ mix have been influential to ASIP since the label’s inception, making this release and the process of creating it a true reflection of how Mikkel and the label come together to define the end output.

Featuring artwork by Ventral Is Golden and mastered by James Bernard.

Since 2012, Caldera has been creating a unique and personal blend of Techno and Bass music with a love for detail and a dedicated sound design that immerses listeners into imaginary worlds.
His experiments with drums and rhythms result in grooves that represent a new and fresh way of looking at dance music while exploring a deeper side of it and leaving bpm restrictions behind.


Caldera @ Kiosk Radio 24.06.2025

"A gentle dérive through shimmering textures and quiet layers, where sound feels both rooted and untethered. This set breathes with the traces of shared moments — music exchanged between friends, and nights when the forest became shelter. The track once meant to anchor it never arrived — yet the thread remains, woven from intuition, memory, and the subtle glow of all that lingers."

Once known as Blanket, now drifting as azul (@azulblan). No face, no past — just frequencies.

Recorded live from our FOLD takeover with Transmissions, this one comes courtesy of softi who opened Room 2 with a two hour set we simply couldn’t keep to ourselves. Weaving through glitchy, swamp-soaked textures and deep, hypnotic rhythms, she laid down a trippy journey that set the perfect tone for the night ahead. Dial in and drift!

 Welcome to the Transmissions mix series, featuring sets recorded at our parties at FOLD. 

For our opening mix, we’re delighted to share a recent Steam Room session with the Bangkok-based selector and producer Sunju Hargun. 

For two hours, he delivered a masterclass of immersive, deep and psychedelic techno. And true to style, the set is a seamless flow of intricate rhythms and subtly shifting textures, shadowy grooves and pulsating basslines.  

This mix was mastered in the Area52 Studio.
