Mapping | THF Radio

Mapping is a show about discovering the musical world centered around a track Linda (bb:fm) or Pascal (paschko) pick for each episode. Together they dive into the samples, the labels, artists and collaborators. 

Depending on the chosen song, the show can either be a detailed exploration of its immediate surroundings, or it serves as a starting point for a journey, navigating from one node to the next, delving deep into connected artists and genres. Either way,  a mapping of the title track is given.

Mapping: Universal Togetherness Band - Pull Up w/ bb:fm & Pascal

This episode explores connections around the track "Amo Bishop Roden" by Boards of Canada. And there are many! The title alone: it seems to refer to a member of the Branch Dividian cult and the Waco massacre. Eerie! Don't worry, we'll focus on the music in this one. Like the label that released this masterpiece, Warp Records, how it contributed to bleep techno and IDM.

P.S.: One of our favourite producers (back in the days) was with us in the studio and said: "I don't know if I could be friends with somebody who didn't like BOC..." Could you!?

Mapping: Boards of Canada - Amo Bishop Roden w/ bb:fm & Pascal

We are starting this episode of with Pascal's favorite track off of Matthew Halsall's latest album. Halsall was hardly on anyone's radar before his first album (on his own Gondwana imprint) in 2008. What has he dabbled in since then? What is his music influenced by? From there, we'll take a musical plunge into spiritual jazz. Enjoy this very easy-on-the-ears episode.

Mapping: Dark Day - Don't Bother w/ bb:fm & Pascal

Linda chose her first electro track in order to dive deeper into the Drexciyan Underwater World. Expect 2 full hours of varieties of James Stinson and Gerald Donald (with small exceptions, guess which ones are not from them by hearing)...

Mapping: Drexciya - Bang Bang w/ bb:fm & Paschko // 23.10.24

Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus, better known as Basic Channel are the center of this episode. Expect to learn about and listen to their many projects and how dub techno came to be. It is a pick by Pascal trying to infiltrate a genre that is clearly Linda's (bb:fm) hometurf.

Mapping: Basic Channel - Quadrant Dub I w/ bb:fm & Pascal // 04.12.24

Starting the year with a seductive track from France—Max Berlin’s 'Elle et Moi.' Back in the late ’80s, Belgian DJs spent months to find this track after hearing it at the infamous AB. "Elle et Moi" and the documentation "TSOB" (The Sound of Belgium) are the center of this Mapping...

Patrick Joseph Cowley was an American music composer who was amongst the first to make synthesizer-heavy disco music. His collaborations with Sylvester resulted in some amazing hits, still bringing dance floors to a sweat today. Lesser known and almost forgotten was his music for porn. Luckily, a lot was rediscovered and we'll dive deep into it in this episode.

Mapping: Patrick Cowley - Surfside Sex w/ bb:fm & Pascal

Bufiman aka Jan Schulte is known as a disc-jockey (resident at Salon des Amateurs), producer, dancer, rhythm enthusiast and jaw harp player from Dusseldorf. Never satisfied with musical stereotyping he produces different odd styles of dance music under various alter egos. 
@bb_fm_ & @paschko tried their best to map some of the sphere and influence, although this Mapping went a bit chaotic, we hope you can follow and are keen to dive deeper into some of the artists mentioned and Jans work. (P.S. there are some cool interviews with him at HHV, Groove, Ransom Note, Vice...)

Mapping: Bufiman - Pantasy // 12.03.25

@bb_fm_ & @paschko dive deep into the Stockholm’s Studio Barnhus environment by mapping „Kornél Kovács - Szikra“.  Expect house tunes throwing you back in the 2010s, quirky analogue analogue stuff combined with dry vocals + and a hint on who could be „mapped“ next.
