Dasha Rush – Resident Advisor podcast #469
“Dasha Rush is a Russian techno artist who sees the genre as a starting place not a destination. She is a respected and well-travelled DJ and live performer, but her work is equally focussed away from the dance floor, and sometimes away from music itself. Her recent album for Raster-Noton, Sleepstep, could be a metaphor for her work: “These 16 pieces are transmissions from that state between sleep and wakefulness,” said Tony Naylor, a reflection of the in-between zones her music often inhabits. Dubby but intense, brutal but tender, foggy yet clear—Sleepstep was a wonderful mass of contradictions. Not being one thing or the other is vitally important to Rush, which goes hand-in-hand with her strong independent streak. The majority of the music she’s released since starting out in 2005 has come through her own Fullpanda label and, as she told us in 2013, she’s resistant to playing the publicity game in the way many in the scene do. That’s meant she’s remained off the radar for some techno fans, but it’s also given her the freedom to explore projects and sounds as she pleases.”
