    RUBBER TIJD / X-Mess Special 8 (with Sara plusplus and DJ Licuadito Mix)

    Rubber descends with the yearly tradition of gifting you a mix to make it through the darker days. With last year's present being a more reflective and cinematic one, this mix ricochets from one mood to the other. Mixed, dubbed and karaoke’d by Sara plusplus and DJ Licuadito Mix, this concoction represents both the fun and experimental attitude both artists and musicians explore in their practices. With eggnog shots, roasted goat recipes and plenty of cumbia, this one raises the glasses to the loved ones and the odd ones. With a Chevy Silvado being their Xmas sled, they went from Mexico to Portugal and all the colours in between. With the final stop being the Nederlands. Bom Natal and Feliz Navidad! DJ Licuadito Mix is the playground persona of Enrique Gutierrez, allowing to mix things that don’t mix. Moving through mash-ups, good accidents, rhythms and intentions. Sara plusplus is a musician, artist, DJ and founder of experimental music event Weather Report. Her methods incorporate trial and error, cut-up techniques, improvisation and uses of pop-music structures such as melody hooks and sultry vocals, which occasionally unfold in more discordant forms. This mix precludes Sara plusplus’s upcoming album “Late Night TV” on Rubber which will come out in 2026.

  2. J A featuring Donato Dozzy - Sorella di confine | RUBBER013

    17 MAR

    J A featuring Donato Dozzy - Sorella di confine | RUBBER013

    🚨 10 Inch repress coming J A featuring Donato Dozzy - Sorella di confine | RUBBER013 A1 - Eclisse indolente A2 - Era vitale B - Sorella di confine Vinyl / Digital: https://rubber-denhaag.bandcamp.com/album/sorella-di-confine Distribution by @clone-distribution The initial 7-inch edition was withdrawn as the pressing didn’t fully capture the sonic quality of the tracks. Rubber releases a small repress on 10-inch, a format that truly carries the sound and presents the music exactly as intended. Reuniting as a trifecta, J A returns to Rubber with a three-pronged EP. This time, Andrea Noce and Jonida Prifti are joined by Donato Dozzy—the Italian maestro of minimal techno, who threads liquid geometry into the pair’s vocal acrobatics. Like a silver fog descending, ‘Eclisse Indolente’ opens. Not quite ambient—with field recording-esque emanations filling the backdrop—the spoken lyrics are moonlit incantations, spells for a mid-winter ritual. ‘Era Vitale’ showcases Dozzy’s hypnotic latticework in full effect, the operatic accompaniment gliding over a twitching beat. For the titular track—its thundering power a homage to the sound system—blasts of cold bass interject at intervals; a muted post-dub tirade, narrated by fractured, echoing whispers. Building on their previous album for the imprint, enter ja, which leaned more instrumentally maximalist, this incarnation shifts to subtle, mesmerising sonics that let the lyrical prowess surge forth. A testament to the mystical nature of the voice, Sorella di Confine is pagan-folk for the club; a lunar chant, an ebony hymn. The record serves as a sister release to Prifti’s eponymous poetry collection, published in 2024 by Marco Saya Edizioni. An extract from the collection’s afterword appears on the back sleeve, penned by the renowned lyricist, playwright, poet, and novelist Pasquale Panella.

    RUBBER TIJD / X-Mess Special 6 (with Hannah Pezzack and Elina Tapio)

    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

    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!
