Name: Map 12 (ambient DJ set) by Tomaso M. in The Map Is Not the Territory Series
Duration: 58 min 22 s
Description: Ambient and experimental music - sorry, there is no tracklist, but everything should be easy to Shazam. Let me know if not and I will get you a track ID!

This playlist began as a personal challenge: release 1 mix a week for the duration of 2025. As of June, that hasn't been achieved, sadly. 

Work travel has made it too difficult to keep up the weekly pace at a standard I can live with. However, I intend to keep working on this project throughout the year — we'll see how many I can create :)

I take a free approach to genre, moving from house to techno, electro to ambient, and back again, sometimes within one mix. The map is not the territory...

PREMIERE: !nertia - Shangó [Linderluft Records]

@sunjuhargun is based in Thailand and has been bringing all new energy to the Asian scene for more than 20 years. He has Indian heritage and Japanese roots which inform his mystic sound and the music he releases via the the label he co-founded, Siamese Twins Records. As he proved when he played our festival back in summer, he transcends musical and cultural borders to bring everything from, warm and percussive tribal grooves to more psychedelic sounds, acid textures and mind altering techno.

Sunju explains his approach to this week's mix. "I wanted to capture a special memory using records picked up during my trips between Amsterdam and Japan over the past few years. The result is a selection that blends the past, present, and future. As with every mix, I approach things naturally, with spontaneity. Live recordings have a unique energy that you can only feel in person, but sometimes that feeling can get lost when making a mix at home. This here is 60 mins of a raw, spontaneous reflection of friends in my living room, just hitting record and going for it. No filter, no perfection—just creativity with a limited selection.”

Map 12 (ambient DJ set)

I said last week's Map was my favorite — well, until I recorded this one. This is a collection of hypnotic, deep, ritualistic techno that illustrates my idea of the "dancefloor journey", where each track takes you somewhere new and at the end, having built and released the tension, you're let down gently to reflect. Something like that, anyways. Enjoy the music.

Map 16 (deep and hypnotic techno DJ set)

Absolutely subterranean dub techno for you this week. We start at the mouth of the cave (birdsong!) in the 100bpm range, then head underground, working our way up to about 120bpm, where we find ourselves at the surface again, hearing birdsong once more. I didn't plan that part, but love that it happened.  Just one of those happy accidents that can happen when improvising a set.

Enjoy the music!

GROOVE Podcast 463 – Marco Shuttle

This recording is from the first edition of L’Appuntamento, a series of open-air listening sessions initiated by Villa Lontana Records and Donato Dozzy in Rome. Each gathering pairs a vinyl set by Dozzy with a live electroacoustic performance by a new-generation artist.

In this first edition, held in the garden of Villa Lontana, Donato Dozzy opened the evening with a selection of minimal, folkloric, and acoustic-rooted records — setting the tone for Verde Prato’s live performance.

L’Appuntamento is an ongoing invitation to pause, tune in, and share time through listening. 
Next appointment is Thursday 26 June 2025 with Ange Halliwell.

Fresh from closing our edition at TILLATEC, resident and co-founder BD50 steps up for the next podcast. 
BD50 channels the raw spirit of early clubbing—layering tracks, bending time, locking the floor into a hypnotic loop. No gimmicks, just deep, unrelenting techno built to swallow the room whole.

Next up we have Kyoto-based artist Yuddy Ash. His work is fueled by whatever moves him, whether it’s music, visual art, or fleeting moments in life. “For me, it’s about channeling raw energy that awakens every part of me, shaping a sound that’s free, vibrant, and alive in the moment. If it sparks an emotional or visceral reaction, it shapes the depth and flow of my sets.” For this set, he aimed for a pure, innocent vibe, a neutral space where listeners can bring their own emotions and connect deeply with the music’s flow. “I embrace imperfections as part of the journey, crafting a mix that feels like one continuous track. I steer clear of typical DJ narratives, focusing on an emotional, cohesive flow.” Every mix is a snapshot of “now,” never to be repeated and always evolving. He doesn’t dwell on milestones, instead: “Each set is a step forward in my creative journey, pushing me to evolve as an artist.”

Yuddy Ash: “In my podcast, I believe a ritualistic and immersive flow defines my style. About 95% of the mix always involves layering two or more tracks. Rather than simply transitioning, I’d say it’s more about blending them together—it’s like a 1+1=3 effect. I’m also inspired by the intricate energy of Balinese gamelan and kecak, aiming for a magical mix where everything connects seamlessly, as if it were a single track.”

Give Yuddy Ash a follow and enjoy the mix

Finally, a new Map! While I haven't quit this project, it only took a few weeks of traveling for work to get off track, and eventually I realized I wouldn't be able to keep to the weekly release schedule.

I really enjoyed the challenge though, and I want to keep the momentum going, and this week, I finally was able to. I picked a BPM of 128 and a general vibe, and improvised my way through the set, and in the end I'm happy with the result. 

I had a lot of fun recording this one. It's very hypnotic, immersive and squelchy techno—one of my favorite styles. 

Enjoy the music!

Map 20 (deep and hypnotic techno DJ set)

Recording of Satoshii Tomie's live set at the Selectors stage during Dekmantel Festival 2025.

Satoshii Tomie (live) at Selectors - Dekmantel Festival 2025

Little patches of grass disappear
In the jaws of lusty squirrels

Who slip into the spruce.
Cars collapse into parts.

Spring dissolves into summer,
The kitten into the cat.

A tray of drinks departs from the buffet
And voilà! the party’s over.

All that’s left are some pickles
And a sprig of wilting parsley on the rug.

When I think of all those
Gong-tormented Mesozoic seas

I feel a ripple of extinction
And blow a smoke ring through the trees.

Soon there will be nothing left here but sky.
When I think about the fact

I am not thinking about you
It is a new way of thinking about you.

~ Suzanne Buffam
