In exploring 21st-century Russian culture since the Soviet Union's dissolution, one confronts a complex evolution marked by significant change and uncertainty. The period saw Russia grappling with defining itself amidst global influences, particularly from the West, which reshaped its cultural landscape.

From the 2000s onward, Russian culture increasingly leaned towards Westernization, influencing everything from fashion to entertainment and business practices. This mimicry, initially seen as a path to modernity, raised concerns about authenticity and identity loss, as Russia risked diluting its unique heritage.

Amidst this cultural assimilation, figures like Pasha Technique and Pasha Buttechno emerged as influential voices. Pasha Technique, celebrated for his lyrical prowess in rap and hip-hop, fused linguistic skill with social commentary, resonating deeply with a disillusioned generation. Meanwhile, Pasha Buttechno pushed boundaries in electronic music, blending techno with ambient and industrial sounds, asserting a Russian voice in a genre dominated by the West.

Despite differing styles, both embody authenticity and challenge societal norms, reflecting a broader cultural shift towards self-expression in Russia. Their journeys underscore the tension between global influence and local identity, shaping contemporary Russian cultural discourse.

Ultimately, figures like Technique and Buttechno serve as cultural touchstones, inspiring dialogue and redefining Russian cultural expression in a globalized world, illuminating pathways towards a nuanced understanding of Russia's place on the world stage.

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.

Die Tödliche Doris - Im Bausatz

That’s what they like, these humans. Seeking for the perfect visible form. A from, that endlessly rewinds endlessness. That copies beauty with beauty, yet to be decided, what beauty is. What makes a unique shape, a marvelous appearance? How does it shine? The idea. The one, that is always changing its appearance. How can one thing in general be many things in particular? 

So far, only Die Tödliche Doris managed to come close to answers. Since 1980 it’s constantly peeling herself. From one shape to another. Physical, and not so physical. Air, concrete, plastic, ideas, ideals. Wigs and cobblestones. Hi-Heels and uniforms. Photographs and videotapes. Field recordings, songs, SO36 anarchy in the true sense of the tribe. Doris was out there. Doris is out there. Doris is everybody. 

Now even more than ever. She was never yesterday anyway. The future wasn’t her thing either. And in the present, she has never been seen. At this very moment, when “Im Bausatz” comes to live, Doris is all. Finally. Yet not eternally. A Kashual Plastik tape, digitally enhanced with bonus tracks, featuring contemporary producers from around the world, listening to names like Aaron Dilloway, Brandstifter, T.V.S.T., Hugo Capablanca, ML, Beau Wanzer, Nika Son, Laura Not, or Saskia Lavaux. 

They all been Doris for a while. Totally tödlich. Fooling around with original recordings of the original Doris of whom nobody really knows who she really was. They followed a call from the modern-day social network spheres, where Die Tödliche Doris asked the world to reshuffle some old original tape recordings. Out of the millions of submissions, Doris selected 36 works, that together shape the Doris of today for a brief moment of time. 

All remixers, re-shufflers, editors, sculpturers, creators fashioned rugged limousines in sound. Stretched and edged. Arrhythmic and rhythmic. Some closer, some farther to the original. Tearing saws, tape drones, ghost paroles, veiled choirs, voices from the afterlife, pulsating synths, distant telephone calls, tripped out rhythm patterns – Doris is really tödlich. Heißen sie Doris? 

A thousand voices with one word. “Im Bausatz” brings elegantly shaped music for lethal explosions, that questions the "construction" of truth, that is always at issue. A music kit, that comes as multiple conceptions of tonality, as all reality has the structure of a differential trace. Deconstructed constructions, nothing seems to fit together, and yet a 36-track strong opera of the many Die Tödliche Doris rises from the dust of its own identity, identifying you with it in Doris. 

“Hallo Hallo, wir senden euch jetzt Unterhaltungsmusik!” All authorized by author, musician, and artist Wolfgang Müller, of whom they say, he met Doris quite often…
