For the next instalment of the series I present a winding, evocative mix from Avsluta. I first came across Avsluta's sound through her mix for Rapture Network's 9128.live takeover (https://soundcloud.com/rapturenetwork/avsluta-9128live-15-may-2021) and after listening to more of her mixes for her own ambient-based platform @introspective_electronics, I hit her up for a Deep Mind Music entry. 

Avlsuta's sound is highly immersive: her mix for the series takes listeners through winding cerebral sounds, each track building upon the last, slowly unfolding into a vast expanse of sound. To me it feels like floating in the middle of a still lake at night, looking up at the twinkling stars and crescent moon, adrift and contemplative. We are then washed up onto the shore with trippy bubbling beats, before the mix gently peters out in a blanket of golden warmth. I hope you enjoy listening to this trip as much as I do.

For the photo Avsluta has chosen one which she says brings some beautiful memories from years back in Mexico. Here are some words she has to accompany the mix:

Scattered memories of journeys
To places I have never been
Or those I call home
For a few days or for years
The rush of taking off and landing
Writing history together
With strangers
And lovers
Whispering secrets
To rivers 
And trees
...and listening
Always listening
And dreaming

E.M.C. atmospheres - Avsluta

Over the moon to have two incredible artists Avsluta & Christian Duka feature for the latest mix in the series. 

The mix is taken from their beautifully crafted  Sonic Garden set back in September last year. 

So as always, sit back, relax and take a load off. Enjoy.

Take a Trip with Avsluta B2b Christian Duka

"After several weeks in the boat, at a slow, oscillating pace, the melancholy disappears like the unalterable horizon that we have been observing for days. Suddenly a peak in the distance, little by little the profile of the castle is drawn.  There where I was heading. Sailing and floating on the salty wave. I am already in Barcelona, I can already listen to Mostra."

Avsluta (@avsluta) is a London-based DJ, live performer and curator. While her output is diverse in both her live performances and DJ sets alike, it most often taps into the realms of downtempo, UK-bass and off-kilter deep techno, navigating the in-betweens of ambient and dance music. Lucie runs Introspective Electronics (@introspective_electronics), a platform exploring the vast diversity of ambient, downtempo and electronica. Together with the London-based DJ and producer Alicia, she co-curates Terra Obscura (@terra-obscura-london), a quarterly event series focusing on chill-out-tinged UK bass. In collaboration with Christian Duka and IKLECTIK, she co-organises SONIC GARDEN, a series of experimental ambient and downtempo events at IKLECTIK's Old Paradise Yard. Over the past few years, Lucie has shared line-ups with the likes of Donato Dozzy, DJ Nobu, Primal Code and more, and played live and DJ sets in the UK and around Europe. Her recent releases include solo EP on Secuencias Temporales and compilation contributions for Huinali Recordings and Knekelhuis.

Mostra (@mostrabcn) is an independent small-format festival of avant-garde and experimental electronic music that was born as an alternative to the macro-festivals and mass, commercial events that are held in the city of Barcelona.

Avsluta _ TSS Podcast 009

For the 48th instalment of our podcast series, Introspective Electronics founder Lucie Stepankova aka Avsluta steps in with a live recording of her DJ set at last month’s Ambient Tide, a Brussels-based listening event series run by our dear friend and fellow ambientist Kato De Vidts. We couldn’t imagine a better setting for this set to take place ~ the floor fully covered in rugs and cushions, low hanging lanterns emanating soft warm light, the scent of palo santo drifting through the air and focused audience listening with patience and curiosity 💆🏻‍♀️

Avsluta is a London-based producer, DJ, live performer and event curator navigating the liminal spaces between ambient and dance music. For the past 8 years, Lucie has been deepening her musical knowledge working behind the counter at Phonica Records, catering to London’s ambient and downtempo heads on most Saturdays and making a few good friends along the way. She runs Introspective Electronics as is actually the person writing this text, which does feel a little awkward but it has to be done. Together with her friend Alicia, she runs Terra Obscura, aiming to make clubbing cozy and on ocassion, curates solo or collaborative ambient events as part of Introspective Electronics ✨

Just shy of two hours, this mix weaves a thread of hopeful softness made for moments of deep relaxation and focus. Voices and gentle rhythms ebb and flow atop lush drones, giving way to arpeggiated passages, spoken word and field recordings. Recommended listening at dusk, in a candle-lit space, floating on a pile of cushions and wrapped in fluffy blankets with a mandatory cup of steaming tea 🍵

Recorded live at Ambient Tide in October 2024

Podcast Series 48 | Avsluta @ Ambient Tide

Avsluta (Lucie Stepankova) moves with quiet precision, tracing the lines between ambient stillness and rhythmic motion. As a London-based sound artist, DJ, live performer, and curator, she explores the spaces where sound lingers and transforms.

Her set at Mostra Festival 2023 left a lasting impression. A seamless journey through moods and tempos, carried with effortless elegance. It felt only right to invite her to Unrush, and now here we are finally.

For this mix, Lucie dives into deeper ambient landscapes, showing the same thoughtful sensitivity that shapes her work. Over the past decade, Lucie has refined her musical voice behind the counter at Phonica Records, guiding London’s ambient and downtempo seekers most Saturdays, building connections, sharing music, and fostering community along the way.

She’s the founder of Introspective Electronics, a platform for radio shows, guest mixes, and listening events. Together with producer and DJ Alicia, she also curates Terra Obscura, an intimate club night series devoted to slower, introspective sounds.

This DJ set holds that same spirit: a quiet invitation to slow down and listen...

"We stood together facing the horizon. In front of us, a giant. A massif that is something of a hill and a
something of a mountain and the Moon has just gently spilled the first of its glow over its spine. We
walked together and inside, a feeling of gratitude and love was expanding. We shared this journey.
Alone. Together. As I lay down to face the sparkling sky, I feel your presence with me when you left
my side and ventured to explore. This human presence transformed into something cosmic. I float in
my inner space, gathering music from the air into my innermostness. The world folds itself on my body,
on my mind, on my soul - and everything is one. From the abyss within come bubbling out energies I
seem to know, existing on a different plane of consciousness. These are artefacts of ancient female
wisdom which I hold within and finally can reach. I feel fertile, pregnant with my own reality. The
reality that is constantly in flux, always emerging. Pulsating in transformation, giving birth to
someone other and yet so familiar, I come into being."
