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]

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!

Map 17 (ambient and dub techno DJ set)

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!

Give me a follow if you like what you hear, and reach out if you'd like to book me or collaborate.

I'm particularly interested in the deeper side of techno and house, but never feel limited by the constraints of genre. 

Please check out my mix series "The Map Is Not the Territory" to see what I mean by that.
