Like a transmission from Sputnik lost in the vaccuum of space, the General Design Commission's tinkling binary melodies tumble out of your speakers, free from the chains of gravity. The Bolshevik Catalogue combines glitch house and experimental techno, sounding not unlike Kraftwerk crammed through Reaktor and filtered heavily. Impressionist robot funk for the proletariat.

'To The Factory!' [from The Bolshevik Catalogue]: Undulating and popping under its own pressure, a drum loop is texturally enhanced and manipulated to perfection in this cut-and-filter knob fest. Like a very rehearsed version of the Rubber Duck appregiator, taken and rubbed with some dub. Automatic killfest
