Out today, jane doe’s secret marks a new chapter in Vladimir Dubyshkin’s catalogue and further defines the sound he has been shaping for years. The record reinforces an identity that stands out within contemporary techno, not through scale or statements, but through a consistency built on instinct rather than trends.
His approach to production feels intuitive and direct. Tracks often emerge from fragmented vocals, skewed melodies, and rhythmic ideas that seem almost accidental at first, yet they settle into a precise form. There is humour running through his music, but also restraint, a sense that every strange turn is intentional. That tension between playfulness and control has become a defining feature of his work.
Jane Doe’s secret sharpens that approach with a clear sense of focus. The album leans into a futuristic tone, driven by a raw, quirky rave energy that feels direct and physical. Early moments like all inclusive resort and whats bitting you? set the pace, combining warped voices with restless rhythms that resist predictable structures.
As the record unfolds, Dubyshkin continues to play with tension and release in a way that feels instinctive. Tracks such as midsommar and gimme dat beat introduce melodic ideas that surface briefly, then dissolve, keeping the listener in constant motion. Even at its most playful, the music avoids excess, prioritising impact over explanation.
The digital bonus tracks extend that language without shifting its centre. Bone crushing, la fiebre and sad glam add new textures and emotional shades, while party with exit visa reinforces the album’s restless energy. Nothing here feels decorative; each element serves the flow of the record as a whole.
Released today, the album arrives as Dubyshkin closes a recent run of live shows. With the tour now wrapped up, jane doe’s secret stands as a clear snapshot of where his sound sits right now: focused and self-assured, shaped by experience but still driven by curiosity rather than expectation.
