Echospace present the secondary edition of Variant's Sequential Sleep, a beautiful complement to the original, but at the same time, entirely unique. Taking the foundation and elements of [Volume One] (SEQ 001CD, 2016) and stripping it back into the ether; dubbed out and treated from reel-to-reel tape creating an almost vaporous atmosphere all of its own - deep, organic and mystical. Utilizing a combination of purely analog mixing, a variety of field recording methods and dubbing it in real time - hands on the controls, no edits, no computer, just the ghostly harmonics and shivery bi-products you would come to expect of obsolete vintage electronics. The analog warmth has never sounded so sweet, mixed at antique modulation in Ann Arbor. Double CD housed in a beautiful retro matte finished eco wallet with UV coat.

Q. What sounds or feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for this mix, and what listening environments could you imagine it being best enjoyed in?

A. Of all the mixes I’ve put together over the years, this one definitely feels the most vulnerable. The months I spent thinking about and working on this mix accompanied an intensely busy time in my life, and the process helped me stay in touch with the simple joy of listening as a way of stepping back and letting things go. There is a direct connection here between the music within and the emotions that live inside me. At the same time, I’ve tried my best to mix this as transparently as possible, so that the act of DJing takes a back seat and allows the music to take center stage.

The inspiration behind the tracks I chose and the story of the mix is one of finding balance, so I hope listening to it feels like a casting off of the present day and a recalibration of the senses. I’d love for people to listen to the mix in a setting where they feel most protected from the changes and stressors of the outside world, whether that be sitting outside in nature or laying on a couch surrounded by the comforts of home.

Q. Are there any songs in the mix that you were especially excited to share, and what is it about these tracks that resonate with you so much?

A. There is a track in the mix by Autumn of Communion called “Goodbye PK” dedicated to the late Peter Kuhlmann, who many of your listeners will know as the legendary Pete Namlook of FAX +49-69/450464. It’s an immensely moving track that manages to convey both the tragedy of his loss and the depth of the beauty he left with the world, and I feel we’re so fortunate to have music and influences like this in our recent history. I included it early to set the tone of the rest of the mix, which is quite different than any I’ve done before, and to pay my respects to those who’ve inspired our scene from the very beginning.

Q. I was lucky enough to witness your set at Sustain-Release in 2023 and was in awe of your ability to practice restraint while steadily building up tension and energy in the set with such clinical and seamless execution. Is this part of the DJ craft something you spend a lot of time planning and refining?

A. That was such a life-changing moment for me, so I’m really glad you were there! You really nailed what I hoped to accomplish with that set, and I definitely spend a lot of time thinking about where my sets will begin, where I would like them to end up, and what sort of path I might take to get there. Understanding the minutiae of how a transition will affect someone’s state of mind and how to propel someone forward without jarring them back to reality is something I’m always working to improve on. That said, the upward trajectory is not always the most interesting one, and there are so many other ways of charting a course through a set that I hope to be able to explore. For the mix I’ve made for you, it’s not so much a set that builds energy as it is one that expands and contracts, hopefully in a gentle and purposeful way.

Somewhere between a de-synchronised Kraftwerk and a non-genius Mamman Sani, lies the musical essence of Bravo Tounky. Solo project of Oblio Aubert (Dhavali Giri, Sierra Manhattan, Bermudaa, ...), Bravo Tounky is an attempt to make comfy soundscapes, filled with synthy melodies, cassette tape textures and digital bleepbloops.

Falsa Propaganda 023 w/ Bravo Tounky (22.07.25)

Этот микс — продолжение серии, начатой вместе с Jeddah. Первый сет назывался «Горящий торфяник» — запах, знакомый каждому екатеринбуржцу: на первый взгляд безобидный, чуть тревожный, иногда даже сладкий, но в действительности предвестник медленно разворачивающейся лесной катастрофы. Второй микс прозвучал на Mutant Radio в передаче Druga Liga от Olta Karawane.

Теперь я один, с чуть более светлым ощущением музыки. Новый сет продолжает линию: тягучая, разножанровая музыка становится метафорой того, как из распада рождается жизнь, как в болоте шумов и полутонов пробиваются хрупкие цветы. Здесь звуковая ткань балансирует между экспериментальной электроникой и даунтемпо, впитывая элементы эмбиента, IDM и трип-хопа. В этом переплетении возникает новое звучание — и новое ощущение мира.

— Миша Петрик 



This mix continues the series that began with Jeddah. The first set, Burning Peatland, evoked a scent familiar to every Yekaterinburg native: seemingly harmless, slightly anxious, at times even sweet — yet in truth a harbinger of a slow-moving forest catastrophe. The second mix was broadcast on Mutant Radio within Olta Karawane’s Druga Liga.

Now I stand alone, with a somewhat brighter sense of sound. This new set follows the same line: viscous, cross-genre music becomes a metaphor for how life emerges from decay, how fragile flowers break through the swamp of noise and half-tones. The sonic fabric here balances between experimental electronics and downtempo, absorbing elements of ambient, IDM, and trip-hop. Out of this weave a new resonance arises — and with it, a renewed perception of the world.
