Welcome to AssimAssim with Marques, where we explore the most mesmerizing sounds from around the world.

Today, we’re diving into the atmospheric and hypnotic world of Japanese ambient and downtempo electronica. From the ethereal soundscapes of Chihei Hatakeyama to the dreamy loops of Hakobune, Japan has long been a hub for deep, meditative music. Ryuichi Sakamoto, a pioneer of ambient and experimental sound, continues to inspire with his delicate piano-driven compositions.

Meanwhile, Ametsub blends intricate glitch textures with warm, cinematic melodies, and Tatsuhiko Asano crafts dreamy, otherworldly tones that feel like a journey through the subconscious. Whether it’s the nostalgia-laden sound of Meitei or the playful electronica of Serph, these artists transport us to another dimension—where sound is emotion and time stands still.
