About

Vladimir Dubyshkin is a sonic alchemist, blending the raw energy of underground techno with the surreal textures of Eastern European folklore. Hailing from Russia, Dubyshkin has carved out a niche that defies convention, merging hypnotic rhythms with off-kilter melodies that feel both futuristic and deeply rooted in tradition. His music is a labyrinth of contradictions—dark yet playful, mechanical yet organic—earning him a reputation as one of the most innovative voices in contemporary electronic music. Dubyshkin’s breakthrough came with his 2018 EP *Rave Child*, released on Nina Kraviz’s Trip Recordings. The record’s eccentric soundscapes and unrelenting beats quickly became a staple in underground clubs worldwide. Since then, he has continued to push boundaries, releasing critically acclaimed projects like *Body* and *Russian Roulette*, which further cemented his status as a trailblazer. His work often draws from the chaotic energy of post-Soviet club culture, creating a sound that is as much a cultural statement as it is a dancefloor weapon. Beyond his solo work, Dubyshkin has collaborated with artists like VTSS and Buttechno, further expanding his influence. His live performances are legendary, blending theatricality with raw intensity. Recently, he has been experimenting with more experimental and ambient textures, hinting at a new direction in his artistry.
