With a two year hiatus since 2020's Love in the Age of Machines album, Pleasurekraft's highly-anticipated return is finally here with a diverse two track EP. The title track sees the return of Mammal Hands' saxophonist Jordan Smart to the fold on yet another Pleasurekraft record; lush, narrative, and euphoric, "Umbilicis Universalis"  is symbolic of Pleasurekraft's continued expansion beyond mere dancefloor-driven music. And on the EP's opening track "Ritual", Pleasurekraft deliver another sub-genre defining slice of of cosmic techno sure to appease the peak-time masses. The EP's sonic range is a preview of upcoming material that will be further expanded upon leading up to Pleasurekraft's next album scheduled for 2023.

Disclaimer: As some people have asked us already if this is the remix we did of BSOD's track "This is the Hook" - the answer is yes + no. YES this track was originally created to be the remix for "This is the Hook" - however due to complications with the label we pulled our remix and pulled the few parts from the BSOD track and re-worked it to make it an original track.And hence "Anubis" was born.We hope you enjoy this dark and groovy ride to the underworld.....;)

The Ultimate Ride

Embodied

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: The blood, sweat, and tears of 30+ human beings, who bore their souls to make this mix possible.  A good solid chunk of techno/house music, both new and old.  

USES: Use of this mix is unadvised if it is referred to as “Trance” or “Deep”.  People who feel the only good records are those that came out within the last 5 (working days), should not use this mix.  People who wear scarves in August (unless you specifically live in the Southern Hemisphere or the North Pole, in which case, please also use a jacket), should not use this mix.  People who have frequent urges to hold their mobile phones to request songs from DJs should not use this mix.  People who feel they are electronic music aficionados because they have been to Electric Daisy Carnival, and anyone that thinks image is more important than substance, should not use this mix.  Lastly, people who feel it is pretentious to say who should and shouldn’t listen to this mix...you’re totally right!!

DIRECTIONS: Please respect the music and listen on a proper soundsystem or headphones, those listening on laptop speakers or headphones that came free with your mp3 device will not experience any of the benefits of the mix; those using Beats by Dre will only experience partial benefits. 
Listen once daily as needed.  Increased dosage on Mondays and Wednesdays is highly recommended to combat general malaise of ‘early week boredom’.  Removal of black clothing is highly recommended during the listening process, unless you are a blood relative of Johnny Cash, or are listening en route to a funeral - in which case we would like to express our condolences. 

SIDE EFFECTS/WARNINGS: Side effects may include, but are not limited to; an uncontrollable urge to dance, feelings of euphoria (extremely common if taken as prescribed).  Users who skip forward through the mix in search of tracks they know, will not feel any of these (positive) side effects. 

If you have been prescribed this mix by accident, continue to take the recommended dosage until the required effect takes place. If you expect to hear ‘Carny’, or any similar records that you have already heard a million times before, please discard immediately.

This is a Pleasurekraft joint.  

On a serious note - we know we don't put out many promo or live recorded mixes - so when we first started thinking about this year's mix we knew it had to be special. Here you have over 2 hours of music full of tracks old and new - that we feel reflect the wide spectrum of genres in dance music that are closest to our hearts.  We hope you enjoy the journey as much as we did making it. 
Much love to you for listening, and of course, a huge thank you to all the artists who made this mix possible with their incredible work. 
See you on a dancefloor near you.

Recorded live July 5, 2014 prior to doors open - at one of the crown jewels of the global dance scene - the one and only U Street Music Hall in the great city of Washington D.C.

Press Release: 
Wasting no time on the 2017 calendar, label bosses Pleasurekraft follow up the massive "Rigel" with their first EP of the year, with a little hand from Italian maestro Roberto Capuano. On the title track "Maskara", film aficionados might pick up on the use of composer Jocelyn Pook's "Masked Ball" which has now become infamous for its use in Stanley Kubrick's final film "Eyes Wide Shut". The boys' deft use of a small piece of the original work becomes the centerpiece around which everything else is constructed - with towering drums, and menacing chord stabs rounding out the track's dark landscape - just the way Kubrick might have envisioned it.

Closing out the EP, Roberto Capuano returns to the label to team up with the boys for the dark & brooding "Penetrator", a track that much like its lead melody slithers back and forth traversing the border between tech house and techno - a farewell to tech house - and a full embrace of the techno expanse that lay ahead for the imprint in 2017.

Both tracks already featured numerous times by Adam Beyer on his Drumcode podcast, Kraftek is very proud to present, the "Maskara EP".

7 years after its initial release, Pleasurekraft felt it was time to update their original classic with a sound more in line with their 'Cosmic Techno' output of the last couple years. Put simply, it's bigger, badder, and much darker - this '7 Year Itch' remix marks the 7 year anniversary of the track that first broke them on the scene in 2010, and is one of Beatport's highest selling records to date. Already being hammered by techno icons Carl Cox and Adam Beyer, and with a special limited edition vinyl accompaniment, this rework is already shaping up to be one of the year's biggest tracks.

After 7 years of chart topping hits covering an array of genres, Pleasurekraft have announced the release of their debut album "Friends, Lovers, & Other Constellations" set for release on 23rd February.

Whether treading into electronica with the album's existential bookends; "Interiors" and "Last Transmission", or flexing big-room techno muscles on "The Day the Earth Stood Still" & "Rigel", there is an indelible fingerprint throughout the 11 tracks that merits continuous listens to reveal its multi-layer depth. Filled with cinematic and cosmological references throughout, what makes "Friends, Lovers, & Other Constellations" truly unique is that it is not merely music for a clubbing experience, but something more, something akin to a musical mission statement; To prove that there is more to dance music than just a 4/4 beat, cliche drug references, and party themed vocals. From Casey Gerald's stirring sermon on "G.O.D. (Gospel of Doubt)", to the searingly cynical "Corpse Reviver Number 1", this debut album is wholly visceral on a musical and thematic level.

Having established a firm reputation for creating standout productions since the release of the now iconic "Tarantula", Pleasurekraft's musical evolution has moved towards a much tougher, atmospheric blend of melodic techno in recent years, comprised of big room drums, soaring breaks, and smart, unpredictable vocals. This self-dubbed "cosmic techno" sound has garnered support from a range of techno heavyweights, including Adam Beyer, Carl Cox, Nicole Moudaber & many more.  

While "Friends, Lovers, & Other Constellations" is certainly dressed in full techno regalia, it's pulsing heart yearns toward a greater understanding of the Cosmos, and humanity's place within it.

Pleasurekraft return to Drumcode on remix duties after a 2 year hiatus with all engines on the Cosmic Techno ship firing.  Big-room atmospheric drums and an infectious call and response hook intertwine with Green Velvet's otherworldly vocals to produce a new highly visceral and steroid injected version of the original.  The "Space Date" remix marks the sixth collaboration between the seminal purveyors of the Cosmic Techno sub-genre, Pleasurekraft, and Chicago's iconic dance music pioneer Green Velvet. 

The remix initially came about after Drumcode head Adam Beyer heard Pleasurekraft's "Welcome to the Universe" EP [Kraftek] at the end of 2018.  A huge supporter of the Swedish/American production duo, Adam felt so inspired by the whole EP, especially "Main Sequence" that the opportunity for Pleasurekraft to take their love of all things space related lent itself naturally to the thematic elements in Green Velvet's vocals. 

The track's spine is built around a hypnotic groove that is anchored to a single word from the original's vocals : "ecstasy" and slowly builds to the first climax of the record where the listener finally hears Green Velvet's vocals in full for the first time.  However it isn't until the second break of the track that the power of the remix is finally unsheathed, resetting the groove and building up to a second swell featuring a duo of call and response melodies between the lead hook and a lower end bass that takes the intensity of the track up another notch - ultimately culminating in complete silence that gives way to the remix's original heartbeat and repeating mantra: "ecstasy". 

Taking over a month of studio time to complete, it was road tested for the first time at Pleasurekraft's Fabric London gig, where there was no shortage of inquiries as to the ID of the record.  This soon became a repeating theme after Adam Beyer first included it on DCR446 and played it during both of his Ultra Miami (Resistance) sets, including his closing b2b set with Maceo Plex who loved the track so much he proceeded to get his own copy and play it during his own solo set one week later at Time Warp in Germany.  

Multiple clips of the remix have already gone viral on various social media and blog outlets, with no shortage of fans waiting anxiously for the June 24 release date on Adam Beyer's own Drumcode Records. In Adam Beyer's own words, Pleasurekraft are "setting new standards" with their continued foray into the Cosmic Techno sub-genre they continue to define.

Label heads Pleasurekraft first release since this summer's massive chart-topping "Space Date" remix is a thick double slice of Cosmic Techno.  First up the collaboration with Argentinian Kraftek regulars Beico & Mt93, "A6 454", a subtle reference for those up on their sci-fi cinema game, followed by a second a-side (were this any other release), this one with Spanish producers The YellowHeads. Heavy, brooding, melodic, and ethereal, this is textbook Cosmic Techno.

On the heels of our "American Hustle" EP - we are back with our boys Jaceo & Vedic - this time on Bitten Records with our "313 (Detroit Calling)" EP.  Named after the city's area code - lyrically the track is an homage to the city's resilience in the face of constant hardships - to give birth to a musical genre and movement that has touched the lives of millions around the world. 

The flip side - "212" is not actually named after New York City's dialing code as one might suspect - but is rather the temperature (in fahrenheit) that water turns from a liquid into a gas (pretty fucking hot).  The words - courtesy of the one and only Ray Winstone - from the incredible film "Sexy Beast" - underscore that hot feeling we've all experienced in our favorite neighborhood 'sweat on the walls' nightclub. Ok so maybe it wasn't 212 fahrenheit in the club - but you get the point!

Enjoy and as always - thanks for listening.
