This is Live recording of the last hour from the 3-hour opening set at Ankali x Stimul w/ Alfred Czital, Donato Dozzy, fleika & Phuong Dan in March 2022.

Lucie Stepankova aka Avsluta dedicates her creative practice to free improvisation, live performance, curation and DJing. In her live performances, Lucie co-creates with objects and natural materials, field recordings, electronics and digital processing to embody speculative narratives via sound-making. The general aim is to encourage audiences to engage in listening as an active-creative practice and reconnect with and manifest emotions. Similar sentiments often flow through her diverse DJ sets oscillating between ambient and dance music.
Lucie runs Introspective Electronics, a platform exploring the vast diversity of ambient, downtempo and electronica and featuring regular radio shows and guest podcast series. Together with the London-based DJ and producer Alicia, she co-curates Terra Obscura, a quarterly event series inspired by the new generation of 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.

"A descent into spirals of liquid mist, where every step reverberates across the boundless horizon. Here, time flows with the weight of echoes and the depth of rhythms—a journey through unseen landscapes where the atmospheric becomes language, and dub whispers its secrets to the abyss."

Paragon (@paragon_ys) means a person is regarded as a perfect example of a particular quality. Always open to exploring different sounds, as of lately, Paragon has been discovering more relaxing or different realms of electronic music or IDM. Nowadays you can find in his selections mostly from ambient, broken beats of techno to different types of drum n bass. He has been the curator of the podcast series Parallel Perception (@parallel-perceptionseries) where you can also get a taste of his vision on his electronic music taste with his curations. He recently relocated to Barcelona to pursue his culinary dream and to get inspired by the food and music culture of Europe.

"Frozen landscapes, windswept drones carrying crystalline particles adrift. Intricate soundscapes invite your choice, letting you set the pace for how they unfold. Opaque glass filters light faintly, casting a dim glow in this dark yet mesmerising reality."

Clifford Chong A.K.A Hexadecimal (@hexadecimal_sound) is an electronic music producer & DJ based in London. Originally from Singapore, he once played as a lead guitarist in a progressive metal band. With that, a lot of his interest lies in syncopation, polyrhythms, odd time signatures and deconstructed patterns. Much of his musical identity today is defined by genres such as downtempo, left-field, IDM and experimental music with an interest in approaches such as computational music, grey area and film scoring.

For the second instalment of Deities, I am excited to present Caroune as Tzovinar (aka daughter of the sea). Caroune has curated sublime exploration of deep & rhythmic textures, expertly pieced together creating an evocative soundscape; alongside a Deity who encapsulates the mysticism of our Earthly elements and exemplifies to us what it means to be connected to our intuition and the rhythm of our internal world.

Nature and Art.

Both invite reflection and help us connect with our emotions, which are essential for our personal growth and transformation throughout life.

Water
As a scorpio with pisces rising, both of my signs are water elements, which are often associated with emotional depth and intuition. People with water signs are known for their ability to connect deeply with their subconscious, relying on instincts to guide their decisions. They’re also sensitive and protective. 
This may explain my profound connection to music and art as well as caring for people I love.

Autumn.
I find nature beautiful during this season. 
I love taking long walks on rainy days through parks and forests, enjoying the leaves turning into red, orange and yellow shades and watching the mushrooms grow.
I also enjoy the mysticism of autumn through the cultural and religious festivities celebrated during this transitional time of the year.

@holdkedveset  - Trying To Not Understand You To Protect You
Christmas Gift [Free Download]

I did not write this track to explain anything. I wrote it to survive what could not be understood.
There is a point where understanding becomes violence against the self. Where searching for meaning inside another person turns into self erosion. This piece was born exactly there. In the moment I chose not to know anymore.
Trying to not understand you was not denial. It was a conscious retreat. A protective silence. A refusal to keep tearing myself open in the name of clarity.
Inside pain does not always scream. Sometimes it loops quietly. Thoughts circling the same unanswered questions until the body learns to shut the door. This track is that door closing. Slowly. Repeatedly. Without drama.
The rhythm here is not movement forward. It is containment. Each repetition is a boundary. Each layer is a decision to stop digging where nothing but loss waits.
This is not Techno as escape. It is Techno as restraint. As discipline. As an inner structure built to hold what would otherwise collapse.
I did not want to understand you anymore. Because understanding was costing me myself. And self preservation is not cruelty. It is necessity.
This track lives in that space. Between love and withdrawal. Between curiosity and self defense. Between feeling everything and choosing to feel less.
This is not healing. It is protection.
