After five years of listening to communist banjo music I have returned to the beep boop boop bop. This is a marxist techno hip-hop opera. Inspired by the game Disco Elysium. It’s like doing the communist run but with less reading.

The Deserter - Kay and Skittles, from Why Disco Elysium Is The Most Hopeful Game I’ve Ever Played (Feat. Laborkyle)
Thank you for listening.
Special thanks to all the artists and creators who contributed to this mixtape.
Check out the Spotify playlist to hear (most of) the tracks unmixed.
Artwork by nokturnal graphics.
If you really like any of the songs, especially from the underground artists, please buy their music on a platform like Bandcamp or go to one of their shows.
If you want to play the game Disco Elysium, you should know the intellectual property has been taken away from its original creators and ZA/UM, the studio is now controlled by capital interests. Instead of giving them money you should torrent the game for free and give your money to the artists who have been screwed over.
Rest in power Joe.
Free Mumia. Free Luigi. Free Palestine.
