This collection showcases a wide sonic spectrum, from experimental vocal pieces to club ready floor killers. With work of Indonesia's Senyawa, where vocalist Rully Shabara's electrifying range blends with Wukir Suryadi's processing of (handmade) instruments. Hailing From the UK, MAP71 offers hypnotic poetry layered over pulsating electronics, driven by Lisa Jayne's surreal lyricism and Andy Pyne's ritualistic rhythms. Swedish experimental techno producer Peder Mannerfelt brings his raw energy and genre-defying sound. Dutch techno pioneer Unit Moebius Anonymous takes a second stab at Juzer, a project by Beau Wanzer and Dan Jugel, delivering heavy hitting industrial-tinged rhythms. Lastly, The Modern Institute brings their avant-garde, deconstructed take on techno, blending industrial noise and playful experimentation to create a truly unpredictable sonic experience.

Our yearly Christmas special has descended — a mix of experimental and off-the-shelf holiday music to lift the spirit. This festive season is extremely off. Images of joy alternate with scenes of terror on our screens and in our thoughts. We hope that this Christmas is a moment not to look away but to gaze inward. Music not only soothes but also nurtures perseverance. Or as Death says, explaining the nature of belief in Hogfather (2006) — “You need to believe things that aren't true. How else they can become?” This year's mix is collaged by Scrying the Landscape's Hannah Pezzack and Elina Tapio, together with Rubber's own The Social Lover. @hannah-pezzack @elinatapio @the-social-lover Tracklist: Christine Sonntag & Ton Lebbink- Advent Biosphere - Rotation Fairy Pilots - I Dream Of Mighty Spirits Oorbeek - Stillenacht X Ray Pop - Christmas Bong Atom Tm - Weißes Rauschen (Erster Teil) Coil - Christmas Is Now Drawing Near Culturcide - Depressed Christmas Wojchech Rusin - Salvation Dylan Henner - Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence The Social Lover - Spiking the punch Rev A.W.

Ton Lebbink - Wat Doe Je Met Me? | RUBBER 011 A1 - Wat Doe Je Met Me? A2 - Denke Nie Gedacht Zu Haben (Ft. Christine & Jasmine) B1 - For You By the late 1980's Ton Lebbink was a well respected figure in Amsterdam's alternative scene: he was the drummer for the Amsterdam post punk group Mecano, a true punk poet and worked as a bouncer at Amsterdam's main music venue Paradiso. He released two solo albums, both in his unique narcotic style: laying absurd Dutch wordplay over stripped down frigid instrumentals. As the decade came to an end, Ton – already well in his forties – moved away from the often destructive and dangerous nightlife. After a series of odd jobs Ton started as a fitness instructor at an Amsterdam gym called Splash. Meanwhile, the 90's brought the latest musical craze to Amsterdam: house music began to flourish through clubs like RoXy, iT and Mazzo. With house being the ideal score for his fitness classes, the once well known cult figure faded into anonymity at a 120 beats per minute. His musical endeavours were focusing more on finding the right beats for aerobics exercises with self-devised exercise – eventually leading Ton to bootleg some of them on cassette tapes himself. In parallel to this radical shift, Ton did not stop making music. On the contrary, piles of demos showed high activity but in a direction no one was looking. Inspired by music to move to, Ton recorded hours of music that activated the body while staying true to his playful mindset. Discarding his voice as an instrument, the Roland W-30 sampler became his tool to communicate. Gathering vocal snippets from close friends, barflies and pets, a repertoire developed where witty repetitiveness could exist. Going through a vast collection of demos, pictures and many anecdotes, Rubber has been able to create an EP that gives insight into Ton's overlooked 90's era. Three playful dance tracks by Ton Lebbink taking his complete own take on the Amsterdam house revolution of the 90's. Full of inventiveness: hip-shaking grooves, hypnotic beats and rousing vocals. Tracks to move to and tracks to groove to. Essential dancefloor workout tunes for you and me. Ah yeah!

[ Played on NTS on 22.07.22 ] Ton Lebbink was a true Dutch cult figure. He has been mostly known for his work in the eighties, where he paired absurdist and witty Dutch wordplay with stripped down wave-instrumentals. This mixtape introduces you to his far lesser known nineties era, where he went from being a bouncer to becoming a fitness instructor, and replaced his voice with a Roland W-30 sampler. Specifically recorded for his aerobic classes, we take off with a production of Lebbink himself that then blends into club-cuts he bootlegged from the radio. This adventurous mixtape seems the right prelude to the upcoming release ‘Wat Doe je Met Me?' on Dutch music label RUBBER – a 12'' EP containing three Ton Lebbink dance productions that never saw daylight. Thanks goes out to Christine, Lyckle, Twan and Bence for all their time and effort.

skitungen - Längre Än Långtån | RUBBER 009 A1 – inga dRömmaR kvaR A2 – jag viLL baRa ha aLLt B1 – OOOAAAOOO B2 – Jag SpiLLeR Ut Min Tid På Dig Vinyl / digital: https://rubber-denhaag.bandcamp.com/album/la-ngre-a-n-la-ngta-n Distribution (Clone): https://clone.nl/item69522.html Rubber welcomes Swedish artist Towa Isling (towLie) under her skitungen alias. While some of you might be familiar with distorted drums and seething synth lines from the käfTen records founder, her skitungen project emits a more brazen energy. Längre än Långtån embodies Towa's raw and DIY approach, but takes an unexpected turn towards the odd and dreamy. This results in a beautiful assembly combining Towa's ethereal voice with satisfying weirdo beat music. The 7inch, pressed on Rubber's signature high quality white vinyl, is accompanied by a cover designed by Berlin-based multi media artist Puck Verkade.

As we sleigh into the holiday season, we pick up our tradition of putting out a Christmas special. A potent elixir of Xperimental and dark-not-dark specialties to bring some glow into everybody's living room. This year we are amped to share with you a mix quite close to home, The Westcoast to be precise. This year's Christmas soundtrack is crafted by the North Sea Wolfpack, a femme collective of musicians, artists, creators, and producers that share a common love for sound in all its forms, and through their collective effort elevate one another and the (electronic) music scene. The North Sea Wolfpack created a mix which is a collective effort of their members' input resulting in an hour of cult-y off-beat carols and odes to this particular moment of the year. And of course a noteworthy mentioning Alina Valentina's secret stash that was added to the mix. Have a flexible holiday! p.s. the views expressed by the songs' artists are not necessarily our own — we wish everybody to keep their sofa. @northseawolfpack

As we stroll into the summer, we're happy to provide you with a fresh splash by Avant Garbage. The London-based duo k means and DJ ojo got entangled over their love for peculiar sounds and offers you a monthly refill on Netil Radio , with the stranger margins of music, deftly balancing feelings of brightness and darkness. This two-hour (!) mix channels their love for disorientating dub and crunchy rhythms, combining old favourites and new digs ~ all infused with the softness of a psychedelic teabag.

Matured along a path paved with hip hop, Victor Crezée became a DJ whose sound could be considered truly coast-to-coast — beyond genre and never daft. We got to know Crezée through his collage-like radio shows where high-contrast music is cut, juxtaposed and narrated with film snippets. We share being suckers for Dutch Westcoast and MF DOOM, so we are happy to add Victor to our RUBBER TIJD series with a mix full of piss and vinegar. Stay flexible, XR @victorcrezee

RUBBER TIJD is back with another episode.

RUBBER is happy to present you MINIGOD - De Bus. A three track 7 inch piece of music history. MINIGOD - De Bus EP | RUBBER 008 A1 - MINIGOD - Her Darkness A2 - MINIGOD - De Bus B1 - MINIGOD - Plastic Tears Pre Order: https://rubber-denhaag.bandcamp.com/album/de-bus Rubber brings it back to home ground by diving deeper into Jan Duivenvoorden's shoeboxes. Travelling beyond Unit Moebius, Funky Sobrietas and even Leuk & Ko, there was MINIGOD. Back in 1987, at a local youth centre in the ever-dull Zoetermeer, a group of seven non-musical friends started what could be considered a freeform band ”electronic ’beuk‘ music with noise guitar and lyrical texts”. This band was called MINIGOD and rose from the ashes of the performative act Aars/rugklachten. Their change not only meant an upgrade in instruments - from jerrycans, barrels and worn-out bass guitar to keyboard and synthesizers - but also from simply screaming into the void towards songs with something of a structure. The release portrays MINIGOD quintessentially -- energy above professionalism. From a large number of tracks Rubber made a precise selection allowing punk and satire to dance cheek-to-cheek. MINIGOD believed that every human can be a tiny bit of God, and that was just the way this music was intended. If only everybody believed in themselves, and in others. MINIGOD is Jan Duivenvoorden (Unit Moebius), Richard van den Bogaert (Leuk & Ko), and Rob de Bakker played keyboard and synthesizer, Edwin Zuidwijk played guitar, and Siuli Ko and Bart Barendregt did the vocals. Limited to 123 copies.

After a short holiday break we are happy to share the next Rubber Tijd with you. We warmly welcome our first artist of the year and number 81 on the show: Eddie Peake. For this podcast Peake presents Memory Cycle 2, an audio piece from a series of sound works he has been making in recent years. “They are an attempt to recreate as definitive recordings the live DJ sets I play in my performance work. Whereas in my performances they are ephemeral and reactive, here they are somewhat more calculated, although in both instances, chance and coincidence is important. They are collages of looping motifs drawn from a palette of original recordings, voice memos and field-recordings to evoke a sense of nostalgia, the subjective and inaccurate nature of memories, the repetitive and spiralling ideation of an obsessive or psychopathic mind.” Eddie Peake is a London based Artist and DJ and his work includes performance, video, photography, painting, sculpture, sound and installation. It has tended to take the form of non-linear, immersive exhibitions, usually presented as a web of incongruously and yet inextricably connected discrete objects. Looping or repetitive forms are a prominent element, as is the theme of the inadequacy of verbal language in representing phenomena such as emotions, memories or modes of communication which are not verbal. Another of its foci is the implicit drama within relationships between people, whether they are familial, professional, romantic, sexual or social, and how desire, sexuality, socio-political and cultural constructs, as well as psychological states such as depression impact on them. Peake also DJs under a pseudonym and runs a record label imprint called Hymn. We are very happy to have him on the team and hope you enjoy Memory Cycle 2. Stay flexible! X R

Our yearly Christmas special is here again. A mix of experimental and non mainstream holiday music to lift the spirit. Much can be said about this years Christmas, or this year for that matter. However, I think we can all agree that music and other forms of creative expression turned out to be even more valuable than we thought. Because a lot of us will be celebrating Christmas in isolation we've decided to make this mix for you and made by you. The track selection for this years mix has been largely provided by the lovely people in the 'strange music from beyond' online community. If we can't celebrate together, let's create together. Thank you and have a happy experimental holiday! Tracklist: Ryuchi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence Psychic TV - White Nights Vince Guaraldi Trio - Christmas Is Coming Robin Guthrie - Snowfall Lisi - My Silent Night Jackie Mittoo, Bagga, Pablove Black & Devon Russell - After Christmas Cabaret Voltaire - Invocation The Swinging Buildings - Praying For A Cheaper Christmas Suicide - Hey Lord The Residents - Fire (Santa Dog) August Darnell - Christmas On Riverside Drive Twilight 22 - In The Spirit Fay Lovsky - Christmas Was A Friend Of Mine Jean Francois Pauvros - La Chanson Du Cure Dent The Loch Ness Monster - Christmas Again Wall Of Voodoo - Shouldn’t Have Given Him A Gun For Christmas Hypnobeat - Xmas In Mongrovia James Pants - This Christmas Girl Hybrid Kids - Happy Xmas Crass - Merry Crassmas Lass Crime ‘Electa’ MC - Dark Xmas Severed Heads - Donald, Merry Xmas (edit) Hieroglyphic Being - Vibrations & Harmonies

Really happy to have Lucy Cliché on the team. Lucy Cliché is a Sydney, Australia based musician who's been at it for a while now, playing music (and an occasional DJ) under various guises including Lucy Cliché and Loose-y Crunché, and collaboratively with Half High, Naked On The Vague, and Knitted Abyss. As Lucy Cliché she's released records on Fleisch and Noise In My Head. Lucy Cliché's music delivers a hard bitten exploration of how physicality and the ethereal can interact in music – heavy bass rhythms lock into pounding drums, washed over with synth chords and acid bleeps. She's wrote some words on the mix: "I've lovingly crafted this mix of some of my favourite (predominantly loosely electronic and experimental) Australian and New Zealand artists, with mostly newer tracks and a few older tracks to keep them in good company. This mix pretty much transverses through palettes of sounds that excite my ears and nurture my heart, with music from my intimate and broader music communities. During lock-down I've been reflecting on the importance of having a strong local (music) community, because Australia at the best of times is geographically isolated, but now borders are shut, so the local music community needs to be more self-sufficient, and I guess part of this involves positively reflecting inward with curiosity and admiration as to nurture what is here, valuing the labour and love of creating at a time of being so physically separated from the rest of the world."

Our neighbour Laura BCR dropped by. Dreamy and dubby heavy duty in this beauty. Laura BCR has been steadily making her mark in contemporary electronic music in recent times, with firm feet in the electronic music via her various endeavors such as her now defunct Bass Cadet Records shop in Berlin where she takes her name from. ”I collected lot of music these past few months, spending hours on Bandcamp, discovering new tunes and having also friends sending music (shout out to Sure Thing and Oslated). I wanted to make a good compilation of ambient, experimental, breaks and techno all together going from a very abstract mode kind of melo and finally linking everything with some dance floor tracks I would love to dance on actually - this mix is quite dark with some intense parts I would say. + You can hear two new tracks that will be release at the end of the month on our 17-tracks charity compilation with On Board Music. One if from KMRU and one from me.” Stay flexible! x RUBBER TIJD

Happy to have Lulu on the Rubber Tijd series! Absolute belter of a mix that resembles a kind of universal truth of some sort, starting with chaos, then evolving slowly to bliss only to resort back to a kind of nightmarish fractal state of being. HECK > CHECK IT OUT!

The Devil Museum is an audio drama by Amsterdam based artist Jacob Dwyer. In it we listen to the diary of a man tasked with photographing all three-thousand of a museum’s devil sculptures.

This week we happily welcome Wosto to the Rubber Tijd series. You might know him as the other half of FALLBEIL (We had Kluentah on the show a few months back!?) and for his releases on labels like teerpappe and macadam mambo and many more. Wosto went fast and peppy with this vinyl only 140 bpm synthpop mix. In his own words: "Wosto was born in 1980 in Geseke (a small town near in „Wostfalia“) and he got no wife, no childen and no car. In the beginning of the 90ths he was a famous ice skater under the moniker RED FLAME. After an accident in 1995 and an identity crisis he started to collect records and began to work as a DJ for a fairground ride. Wosto and his gang G TOWN BEATS were discovered by the club owner Travolta Michele and they started to do DJ sets in the club KLIMBIM in Geseke. 19,994 of the 20,000 inhabitants of Geseke weren`t interested in the music of the gang and so in 2004 the boys escaped to Hamburg. In 2013 Wosto and his best friend Kluentah founded FALLBEIL. So far they released 10 vinyl records on different labels all over the world. In 2017 Wosto and the two members of NOSTAGIE ÉTERNELLE started the trio SAUERSTOFFF. Wosto is also releasing solo records and is running his own vinyl label - TEERPAPPE." Sounds sick.

Full circle with Bence Meijer, more closely connected to Rubber than we all expected. Bence is a musician and founder of the blog Archaic Inventions, dedicated to discovering and contextualizing experimental tape culture from the recent past. ”This mix is the result of a couple of years of gathering material, making selections and remembering the past. After a less rosy period of my life I reconnected with my old music friends in Berlin a few years ago. They helped putting me back on track for the most part. It happened after As Longitude came to play in Amsterdam and gave me a sense of spirit again…. I reconnected to Berlin later on. I slowly remembered a previous phase of being in Berlin during the early 00’s digging for records as a young teenager. Going to Staalplaat, buying Mouse On Mars and The Octagon Man records through town, seeing Miss Kitten set-up for a gig in an industrial warehouse club (but went home before it started because I was too young to stay up too late), going to the old Tacheles (say 2004) where a guy on acid was holding a Death In June picture disc vinyl and a wooden cat statue while spacing out, also I remember well seeing an early interview with Berlin electro-pop unit 2Raumwohnung on the “Lola de Musica” TV program on Dutch television. I was visiting the Russendisko bar-night where I was looked upon weirdly being 14 years old entering the place after midnight (was it at Sonnenallee…? Not sure anymore, so much layered histories intertwining). In short: reconnected to Berlin I remembered many things about a music feeling I had forgotten but that had been part of me. It all came back into me with the energy and velocity of some type of karmic 90’s boomerang within a framework of a seemingly renewed sense of love and appreciation. I’m born in The Hague and grew up closely to the Bunker Records scene. Jan Duivenvoorden (the musical brain behind Unit Moebius and one half of Leuk & Ko) was always a good friend of my father. We used to go on Holidays to Hungary together in the 90’s (I’m half Hungarian): me, my parents and Jan and his back-then girlfriend. An intimate video documentation exists of one of our trips that Jan made. I remember those days vividly.- Since my return to Berlin in recent times I had to rethink my life, my personal losses and I had to reconstruct and relive differentiated realities to understand where I am now. Luckily back home in Holland I gave it my best shot. I reconnected with Jan after many years, we played some tunes and spoke about life and today’s music world. I also managed to play a live set at the Braille Satellite Festival in Lithuania. A festival organized by my special friends from Berlin and Vilnius. Since a young kid I knew there was not going to be much else than this strange music world. Some people discover parties or something. I never did. It was like this all along because of the older people around me. My music blog Archaic Inventions hopefully testifies to this upbringing. Through the years Rubber has oddly brought together different recognizable musical energies including some of the people I happen to have been connected to. Synchronicities. I am grateful for the Rubber vision and the releases you guys put out! The newest track in this mix is from 2002. This is an ode to Berlin (Germany in general), The Hague and Budapest. Also hidden are some Latin American oddities. Different countries and their musical feeling, manifesting themselves in my memory. A flash of personal remembrance, my impressions of the 90s and 00s, yet now more adjusted to home-listening. This set was recorded at OCCII Amsterdam on May 1st. OCCII is my dearest home-base music venue in Amsterdam that we opened specially to record this mix during the corona pandemic. No CDJ hi-fidelity, but it-is-what-it-is quality, let it - happen, squat-style. Maybe not as great as I thought I would be in selecting tunes but….Rubber Time!!“ Bence Meijer / Archaic Inventions @archaic-inventions

This week's Rubber Tijd is served to you fresh with a side weirdness by Derozan. Based in Nieuwegijn (the Netherlands), Derozan is interested in exploring global dance music. In his own words: "This two hour mix will guide you thru the rough edges of global dance music. Why two hours? Because then there is space to listen to the smaller details like a transition going left and right that is maybe intended or just a human mistake? Tiny soundFX with beeps and bops and tempo switching for the adventurous type. Rhythmic noise patterns combined with traditional percussion instrumentals for a better understanding of the term global dance music. And then we have the vocal part where society is being addressed for the current state we as people are going thru right now..." Enjoy and stay flexible! XR

His mixes are bridges between these sub-labels, with a certain taste for margin sounds." Enjoy and stay flexible! XR @jann303

Longtime label friend James Lotion is a Dutch transplant living in Copenhagen. As part of the queer and trans DJ collective SWEAT, they hosts parties and events with focus on uplifting queer and trans artists and creating safer dance floors at club nights in Copenhagen and Malmö.  In their own words: ‘’I feel very inspired and empowered by artists that use their music as a platform for their activism, and decided to highlight some of their work in this mix. There is a lot to tell about many of these artists, but here is a (very) short intro to three artists that are particularly dear to me.’’ DJ Hvad (Danish for What) is a well-known experimental artist from Copenhagen who o.a. uses his music and performances to speak out against racism and the anti-immigration policies of the Danish government. Terre Thaemlitz is an ambient artist/composer that focuses on themes of gender and sexual identity, sex work and the HIV crisis. I highly recommend checking out her work and writings on comatonse.com Utra-Red and is a LA-based group that explores urban social relations o.a. through sound recordings. Their song N30, which I included in this mix, is fx. composed exclusively from site recordings made during street protests against the World Trade Organization Third Ministerial Conference in Seattle in 1999.

Happy to have F. Æmbient over for this weeks Rubber Tijd! The man behind Kashual Plastik is a protagonist of Neuköln`s vibrant scene, an influential disc jockey and selector, also thank to the cult radio show “ Plastik Universe” he hosts on Cashmere Radio. With his own label Kashual Plastik, he has been experimenting an authentic DIY approach made of intriguing graphic aesthetics and an "hard-to-pigeon-hole" sound which takes inspiration from 80ties Synth-wave, EBM as much as from Ambient and leftfield electronics. https://kashual.bandcamp.com

Crafted by Andrea Noce (Eva Geist, As Longitude) and Jonida Prifti (Acchiappashpirt, Opa Opa), these productions find elegance in their noir aesthetic and sketch-like composition, breathing filmic atmospheres of its creative process and the hedonist self alike. Straying away from the societal drift for efficiency and make belief, this record was produced over a timespan of five years, while shifting between Berlin and Rome. Dancing and loafing, mirrors were splintered and scattered shards reflected a new light. Here, Noce her serpentine sense of melody guides uncharted signatures of reverber­ating syncopated drums, while soundscapes move in and out as apparitions fogging the mind. The poetic spoken-singing of Prifti 
subdues the tracks, through a linguistic form where Albanian and Italian intertwine, channeling her scientific field into art. Cleverly processed, the vocals take on many shapes, blurring lines between instrumen­tation and recognition, creating meaning where language ends.

It probably doesn't get more particular than this — a Latin American cross-generational mix by Jasmín and her mother (Lamadre). We were so charmed earlier this year when Jasmín invited her mother to join her monthly radioshow on Stranded FM. The rich collage of past and present that resulted, made us beg for more of a DJ and her mother highlighting their musical upbringing. The mix is a journey along Latin American music from both past and present. As the mother of Jasmin Hoek (Jasmín's real name) grew up in Argentina, both are brought up and are familiar with the traditional sounds of Tango, Cumbia, Samba, Reggaeton, Tropicália and more. Oddities ripped from old CD's are put next to contemporary sounds from Latin America to offer a musical trip with high contrasts. Besides Latin American sounds, Lamadre (la madre is Spanish for ‘the mom’) has been obsessively listening, exploring, and playing all kinds of music throughout her lifetime: from occasionally behind the decks at parties back in Rosario, Argentina in her twenties into their family home in Enschede. The latter most definitely laid the music nerd foundation for Jasmín. Jasmín is a DJ residing in Amsterdam that plays international clubs and festivals and has her regular show on Red Light Radio (Petting Dogs) and Stranded FM. Next to djing she writes about music and club culture for various platforms, using her Gender Studies background as a framework. @jasminhoek

The latest Rubber Tijd was recorded by Pavel Shchepochkin, also known as Echo, from Moscow, Russia. In his own words: "This mix was recorded in a tiny soviet scientific city Pushchino during an expedition with the intention to reincarnate the cultural value of this place. The time there has stopped in early 80’s. I tried to implement a scientific feeling in my selection with references to astronomy, chemistry and biophysics — these are deeply rooted in the history of this city."
