Let’s turn the lights down low
Combine your art with my technology
Light the candles real slow
And put your hands on my typography

I want your Rodchenko in my Bauhaus
I want your Rodchenko in my Bauhaus
I want your Rodchenko in my Bauhaus
I want your Rodchenko in my Bauhaus

I’m hot for your machine aesthetic
Let me Gropius your Stenberg brothers
I’m going to need a graphic medic
Because you turn my angles like no others

I want your Rodchenko in my Bauhaus
I want your Rodchenko in my Bauhaus
I want your Rodchenko in my Bauhaus
I want your Rodchenko in my Bauhaus

I’m going to comrade on your architecture
When you Lissitzky my Moholy-Nagy
Let’s werkbund up a steamy lecture
It’s time to make a love collage

I want your Rodchenko in my Bauhaus
I want your Rodchenko in my Bauhaus
I want your Rodchenko in my Bauhaus
I want your Rodchenko in my Bauhaus

An art form bold and clean
You’re a hot design machine
For the comrades we were born
Now put your function in my form

An art form bold and clean
You’re a hot design machine
For the comrades we were born
Now put your function in my form

I want your Rodchenko in my Bauhaus
I want your Rodchenko in my Bauhaus
I want your Rodchenko in my Bauhaus
I want your Rodchenko in my Bauhaus


Press

"The New Electric Policy 2 is one of the liveliest electronic compilations we've heard in some time." — Time Out NY

"Gary Numan and Kraftwerk reign here, as evidenced by the vocals on tracks by Sneak Thief and Chang. Variable-X recreates the drama of '70s soundtracks. There's also a heavy chunk of amiable house music, courtesy of mental tsp, Zeiss and com.munikation. The New Electric Policy 2 is party music, from the George Clinton-style funk of Dykehouse to speaker-shaking dub of Tomorrowland." — Disquiet, e/i Magazine
