A late night in September 2024, deep in Koenji, Tokyo—hopping between listening bars, cold craft beers in hand, surrounded by solid company. Takashi Mori showed us around, navigating the city’s underground pulse with ease. Big thanks for that, mate—what a night.

Off the back of that, we knew we had to get him in for a mix. Takashi delivers a deep, finely tuned session that locks you into his world of Ambient and Dub Techno. Precision-crafted, immersive, and straight-up essential listening.

Takashi first caught our attention with his release on Slope Point, but he's been a fixture in Tokyo’s scene long before that—a staple DJ spinning dub techno and other deep, hypnotic cuts across the city. By day, he works as a mixing engineer, fine-tuning sonics, and when he’s not behind the decks, he’s behind the lens—documenting Tokyo’s streets in stark black and white. A creative soul through and through.

Much respect from the PC crew—dive in and enjoy.

Some personal words:
My music taste was shaped by living in many countries. Growing up in Moscow, Russia, my journey began as a child with a rare vinyl collection inherited from my dad. Later, after spending a third of my life in Dubai and a few years in the Cayman Islands, I embraced different cultural traditions of local sound. 
My obsession with dub techno began in my teenage years when I accidentally got a vinyl of Maurizio M7. Heavily influenced by labels like Chain Reaction, M_nus, Staalplaat, and others, I have been exploring the depths of dub techno, deep, and minimal ever since.

Everything But Myself

TM Shuffle is more than just a name in the international dub techno scene. The Finnish producer, DJ, and head of VUO Records has a rare talent for distilling the essence of depth, space, and rhythm into his productions. His music is infused with a hypnotic pulse that doesn’t shout loudly but tells stories subtly – of snow-covered landscapes, quiet nights, and an unwavering love for electronic music. What sets TM Shuffle apart is his uncompromising dedication to reduction. His musical philosophy is not about quantity but quality: less is more. By deliberately limiting himself, he becomes more creative – digging deep, searching intentionally for the right sound, and developing a distinct musical signature. This principle is evident not only in his productions but also in his thoughtfully crafted, driving DJ sets.

He shares this passion off stage as well: as the label head of VUO Records, he provides a platform for other artists who share his vision of dub techno – raw, organic, and timeless.

In a personal conversation with Andre Kronert, TM Shuffle offers insight into his creative workflow and studio philosophy. In a world of unlimited possibilities, he consciously relies on a minimalist setup: turntables, a mixer, a few select synthesizers, drum machines, and a computer for sequencing. The two also discuss the new release on VUO Records – VUO12

TM Shuffle - Dub Techno Vinyl Only Mix - VINYL MATTERS 021

fl_000 has been shaping dancefloors for over a decade, but his story begins on the other side—as a raver immersed in Berlin’s legendary club scene. Drawn in by the pulse of the music, the architecture, and the community, he found a new rhythm that reshaped his life. His sets reflect that origin: raw yet refined, rooted in vinyl and built on a deep understanding of groove. With releases on rauh, Turnland, and his own label just stretchin’, as well as a steady hand in organizing events in Hanover, fl_000 keeps the spirit of his early days alive while carving out new sonic paths.

For his "Delayed with…" contribution, fl_000 delivers a mix that drifts effortlessly through the deeper, warmer edges of electronic music. It opens in a haze of dubby echoes and jazz-tinged vocals before shifting into a rich blend of character-heavy tracks. The pace is patient. There are no sharp turns, just a sense of movement, steady and fluid, like a thought you can’t quite pin down. It’s the kind of mix that mirrors spring’s unpredictable moods, fluid, textured, and full of subtle surprises.

Take a Trip with Volte-Face

For those drawn to ambient terrains, the name Francesco Piunti will likely already be familiar. Our first encounter with his mixes came some years ago - emerging through the well known Campfire Stories on Silent Season, then later well crafted excursions thru the likes of Oslated, Delayed, Deep Electronics, and Moon Garden Records not to forget his tireless work in hosting the Deep Breakfast Series (https://soundcloud.com/deepbreakfastseries)

In response to MB’s recent 314 mix https://soundcloud.com/deepbreakfastseries/314-m-baumann, Francesco has returned serve with a contemplative two-hour drift - tracing ambient space, dub techno, with a delicate dusting of float house.  A thoughtful transmission from a selector deeply connected to his craft.
