Picking up where 2018's debut album left off, Pleasurekraft continue their foray into the Cosmic Techno sub-genre they ushered into the dance music lexicon, with their new LP "Love in the Age of Machines."
Arriving exclusively on Spotify initially on April 10, with other streaming platforms to follow a week later, Pleasurekraft had one of  the biggest tracks last year on Drumcode with their remix for Adam Beyer's 'Space Date,' always bring forward thinking grooves embellished with astral melodies and spaced out synths that make for emotional as well as physical experiences. 
"Love in the Age of Machines" is in no short supply of the sonic signatures the production duo have become known for, and there is a clear maturation at work here.  The album's non-techno tracks showcase an artistry rarely seen in conventional dance music and techno in particular. From the gritty dystopian future that establishes the album's themes at the onset in "Last Sapien", to the dark, rainy, urban-lit textures that form the spine of "Nostalgic for the Future", there is a sense of impending self-wrought catastrophe, tempered with a sense of wonder of all that is, and all that could be if humanity somehow overcomes its hubris. 
Things get more intense and turbulent on "Panopticon (The Patron Saint of Global Surveillance)" [ft. Thomas Gandey] before the voyage to the edges of our galaxy continues on "I Sing the Body Electric" & "Main Sequence" which keep up the enthralling techno atmospheres with increasing pressure, before the tension is released with the cinematic grandeur of "Novacene." Two more hard hitting bangers in "At the Mountains of Madness" and "Primordial" then rebuild the all consuming techno mood before you're left adrift in the cosmos with the album's swan song "Requiem For the American Dream."
As Kaveh Soroush of Pleasurekraft puts it, "Without sounding too reductionist, humans are simply a bundle of biochemical algorithms with a few holes at either end, who mistake their sensory experiences as objective, and their sense of self as something concrete, when in fact science reveals to us with each new finding that our basic intuitions about reality and the world around us have not evolved much from our first ancestors, who just wanted to make sure not to get eaten for long enough to feed and procreate on the African savannah. While there are certainly wonders about the Cosmos we have discovered given our enlarged frontal lobes, and technologies that we've invented dating back to when the first tool was built thanks to an opposable thumb, we haven't been the best custodians of the only planet that can sustain us, and history makes it abundantly clear that our wisdom lags far behind the technological advancements we develop with each new day."

Despite the overtly pessimistic tone, ultimately there is a sense of potential change on the horizon. That perhaps a species which has come up with abstract ideas of love, justice, liberty, and created works of immense artistic and scientific beauty, might just find a way to correct course before it's too late. This sense of wonder is on full display on "The Occupant" and the potential seed for our enlightenment is planted in "Corpse Reviver Number 3", a track brimming with homages to the love of philosophy and its place in navigating a more examined life.  
Ultimately "Love in the Age of Machines" feels like a dystopian sci-fi soundtrack written for optimists who want to change humanity's looming fate.  While still firmly rooted in the techno genre, the album evokes themes and ideas that are universal to the human experience and our place in the Cosmos, and it is this aspect of the album that makes "Love in the Age of Machines" such a rewarding musical experience.  It's techno that is at once accessible and intelligent, a combination rarely heard in today's endless sea of dance music.

boom

Forthcoming on Dubfire's SCI+TEC Digital Audio

Beatport: 05.06.2014
iTunes: 03.07.2014

India has one of the faster growing and most exiting scenes in electronic music and DJ/Producer Arjun Vagale is at the very forefront, championing the country's wealth of talent and leading the way with his own music. Today he makes his SCI+TEC debut and joins forces with one of Spain's hottest young artists Ramiro Lopez on the One Shot EP.

Lopez is a star in the making and fresh from a first release for John Digweed's Bedrock also makes his SCI+TEC debut. Combining their groove-crafting talents and knowledge of moving the dancefloor the pair have built two tech house bullets. Both the title track and Je Ne Sais Quoi on the flip are driven by fearsome pulsing basslines, snapping snares and crisp percussion. A sprinkle of vocals round things off and guarantee that this will not be the only SCI+TEC shot this duo get.

Forever In Blue Jeans – Taken from the album ‘Tonight I’m Going To Be….

Roberto Capuano returns with his first Drumcode EP since 2015.

The Neapolitan has long occupied a special place in the heart of Adam Beyer. His cut ‘Never Stop’ is one of the finest Truesoul releases in recent years and he came up trumps with Drumcode’s 150th release in 2015 with ‘The Wilford’ EP, featuring the dub techno groover ‘Obsessed’. His last outing on Drumcode was the fantastic ‘Limitless’, a collaboration with Luigi Madonna that featured on A-Sides Vol.6 in 2017.

‘The Walker EP’ is Capuano’s most full-bodied work on Drumcode to date. The title track is a stealth combination of punishing drums and dystopian arpeggios building up a dark brew of energy. ‘Segment’ is a flamboyant follower, all six minutes of spine-tingling synth stabs and chopped up vocal effects perfect for peak time moments. ‘On Your Skin’ is no less captivating, a huge Beyer favourite throughout the summer months, its exhilarating combination of rousing vocal, swirling synths and catchy riff make it a slam dunk. The slick ‘Sirio’ concludes the quadruplet of cuts, as stomping grooves rub shoulders with multi-layered melody lines for a satisfying finish.

Dok & Martin are back on AnalyticTrail with their first solo EP for the imprint having previously contributed asolo track to one of the labels compilations.

In addition to AnalyticTrail, the guys have also featured tracks and remixes on labels such as Set About,Orange Recordings, Codex, Form and the fresh new label Autektone.

Playing gigs across Europe and other parts of the world, their tracks travel even further, often picking up bigname support from people like Joseph Capriati, Alan Fitzpatrick, Eats Everything, and Richie Hawtin hasbeen one of the main supported of their tracks.

Track one Destroyer opens the release with an old-school flare that tips its hat to the classic rave sound.Next up is The Sacred which keeps the same aggressive energy as its predecessor with a stompingbassline and slamming groove. Android closes off the EP with rumbling sub bass and a stripped backatmosphere filled with ominous tension.

Dok & Martin - Destroyer

A musical vision attempting to encapsulate the power & beauty of the Cosmos within the confines of techno music. This is Cosmic Techno. This is Pleasurekraft.
