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.

A1: Reform - Close Encounters
A2: Reform - Stance
B1: Reform - Mind Control
B2: Reform - Horse Riding

Young Italian duo Reform return to Second State with their latest release, four tracks of innovative, hard-hitting and unusually sophisticated techno.

The throbbing kick and trippy synths of “Close Encounters” opens the EP, with a foreign, clipped vocal and breaksy jungle elements adding further interest and mystique. “Stance”, meanwhile, is a straight-up stomper packed with ricocheting percussion, rubbery synth blasts and disorienting pads, all crying to be heard in a club. “Mind Control” demands to rain down on a crowd at a festival, too. A lean, nimble build steadily escalates into an irresistible, shuffling beat boosted by shifting, bouncy synth patterns and an unrelenting forward momentum. The pair’s unusual knack for blending disparate elements into something atypical but completely danceable is perhaps best demonstrated on “Horse Riding”. The drums are tribal, the stabs are acid-like, there’s a gauzy filter laid over the top, and tickling hi-hats, but also an undeniable thump commanding bodies to move.

Put simply, this dream team from Tuscany are making music well beyond their years that stands up beside the work of veterans (and is often more interesting). We’re honored to have Reform back at Second State!

We recently had a remix competition for one of Drunken Kong's tracks called 'Peace'. Over 300 producers submitted their remixes and we chose three winners. Japan's Hisashi Aochi delivered a Balearic piano infused remix, whereas Italian's Stiv Hey and The Southern gave the track a more peak time treatment. To finish off the winners, UK's Ettica delivered a sublime melodic interpretation. We are very proud of all the remix submissions and want to congratulate the winners for a job well done!

Drunken Kong - Peace (Stiv Hey & The Southern Remix) [Tronic]

We welcome Hannes Bieger for a two-track single on Tronic. Hannes is without a doubt one of the leading engineers in our industry. He has a deep passion for analog synths/production which you hear in the warmth of his music. 'Arc' is a melodic and powerful track perfectly executed. 'Intrusion' is a phat acid groover. Two great tracks that work well in most sets.

FJAAK - Highrise 49

Hot off the heels of their last Beatport Top 10 charting EP from Alt8
& Sara Landry, techno tastemakers T-Minus Records return with
another high-octane release. Spearheaded by Ireland-born
DJ/producer Luciid, MINUS003 arrives on October 5th featuring
remixes from Steve Shaden and Hush & Sleep.

The future-facing sounds of Luciid are ever-apparent in this latest
addition to his discography. Titled “Snitch”, his debut track for
T-Minus sets the tone from the get go. Bone-crunching kicks lead the
way before a sinister melody wraps around the drums in emphatic
fashion. An Intense combination of synths, breaks and snares spiral
almost out of control in the tension-filled breakdown, building
anticipation for the heavy kick to return with a vengeance.
Italy’s fast rising artist Steve Shaden brings his signature style to the
release, taking “Snitch” a shade darker and harder with a remix which sounds as if it was crafted in the underworld. The introduction of frenzying alarms and a pulsating synth add a dystopian lens to
Luciid’s original big room design.

Rounding off the release with an injection of energy and rhythm finds
the tempo at an all time high, as Hush & Sleep up the pace to an
eye-watering 142bpm. Letting the breaks pave the way in their
rave-ready rework switches up the vibe, before the low end bursts
into the track like a sprinting racehorse. Brooding synths, choppy
vocals and head-rattling percussion complete the provocative
soundscape.
