Boris Souvarine: Black October – Ten Years of the Russian Revolution (1927)

Boris Souvarine (1895-1984) was a co-founder of the French Communist Party and activist in the Communist International. He broke from the party in 1924 and became a critical supporter and part of the anti-Stalinist opposition within the international communist movement, observing and analysing the degeneration of the Bolsheviks from a revolutionary force to the political organisation of a new ruling stratum in Soviet Russia. This is his article about 10 years of the revolution for the first time in English.

Datacide 17 Record Review by Hans-Christian Psaar

Bong-Ra’s “Palestina” EP, featuring a protest-themed cover, makes a political statement in support of Palestine, with proceeds going to Gaza’s Al Awda hospital.

Simon Shreeve (Monic) finds his stride in techno with the 50th release from Osiris Music UK, reminiscent of transformations seen in labels like Tectonic.

Death Qualia’s intricate sound design stands out, as does Boylan’s “Ghosts In The Machine” for its energy.

Finally, ASC’s “Space Echo EP” brings hypnotic 170bpm beats, continuing the theme of high-quality, genre-pushing electronic music.
