The Acid Doctor herself brings her surgical all-vinyl techno grooves to Kingdom! Since her move to Berlin in 2012, Dr. Rubinstein is one of the most recognizable personalities in the global electronic music scene. Without the conventional support of a label or self-promotion, her rise is wholly due to the subversive energy she brings while behind the decks. Known for her infectious energy and impeccable selection of acid techno, breakbeat, and vintage rave tracks, Dr. Rubinstein has carved the kind of path only a true raver can. On Friday, October 4th this path leads Dr. Rubinstein tp the 16th anniversary of Control Club. Dr. Rubinstein’s love for electronic goes back to her early years in Tel Aviv, where she first became enthralled by rave culture. Her nights spent dancing in Israel’s underground scene formed the basis for a spiritual connection with techno and acid music—a connection that would come to define her identity as a DJ. Rubinstein often speaks about the meditative quality of dancing, an experience she describes as “freeing the mind” and achieving a state of absolute happiness. Her approach to DJing was further shaped by a turning point in her life—a car accident that left her bedridden for a month. During this time, Rubinstein turned to crate-digging. While many DJs leverage record labels, residencies, or production work to establish themselves, Rubinstein has remained committed to DJing as an art form, earning her accolades purely through the strength of her sets and the determination of her work ethic. Despite the superficial pressures of the digital age, her dedication to vinyl and robust knowledge of the craft of DJing has remained central to her identity. Her sets are not marked by high-end production or extravagant visuals but by raw energy. Musically, her selection spans decades, weaving breakbeat, house, acid, and rave tunes to create an ever-evolving dancefloor atmosphere.
