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.
