Dual Purpose

The Profile

Anonymous electronic project known for two EPs spanning IDM, industrial textures, glitch and abstract hip hop, released between 2000 and 2003.

Released two EPs—Hobs (2000) and Runfastmaybefaster (2003). The project’s identity is not publicly credited in the releases.

Two DeBaser reviews chart Dual Purpose across Hobs (2000) and Runfastmaybefaster (2003). The project’s identity is left deliberately opaque, with nods to the Gescom/Skam orbit. Hobs collides futuristic hip hop with IDM and industrial heft, culminating in the praised “Minxed.” Runfastmaybefaster pushes further into abstract hip hop, industrial drones and breakcore-inflected chaos.
