For:Fans of experimental electronic music, IDM, glitch, industrial and breakcore; followers of Gescom/Autechre-era sounds.

 After the sporadic appearance in 2000, with the EP "Hobs", the entity Gescom manifests for the second and last time under the guise of Dual Purpose in 2003, through "Runfastmaybefaster", an EP decidedly more experimental than the first.
