The long awaited return of autoKratz comes with colossal new track ‘Kick’, produced by Primal Scream & Kasabian studio luminary Jagz Kooner, and features Primal Scream’s Andrew Innes. Taken from a new EP which will be available for free download on autokratz.com from 28th April, it shows an exciting development of the autoKratz sound, indicative of why the bandʼs second album due later this year is so brimming with promise.
In the last 3 years autoKratz have developed a reputation for being one of the finest live acts in electronic music and they’ve recently taken their exhilarating show yet further, starting 2010 with a brand new set up. Now joined by drummer Robin Rigoulet, the 3 piece will take to the road soon for club shows and festivals across the globe.

Animal
August 18, 2009 Posted by Eva at 1:52 pm
autoKratz have released their highly anticipated debut album Animal, a record which will see them stake their undeniable claim to joining the royalty of electronic music.
This extremely significant LP follows the success of Autumn 2008’s acclaimed mini-album Down & Out In Paris & London and looks set to solidify the bands position as one of Europe’s most exciting new prospects.
Animal features the massive Always More (with dancefloor smashing remixes from Yuksek & Shadow Dancer). The album includes the infectious summer anthem Stay The Same, the driving and relentless Can’t Get Enough and the epic Speak In Silence, all combining to create a remarkable collection of tracks with variety and depth, justifying the bands standing as the flag bearers of the new wave of British electronic music.
Since first storming onto the scene last year, autoKratz have swiftly established a reputation for their distinctly different releases which harbour infectious bass hooks, addictive vocals and compulsive beats & bleeps. Animal however does much more, as the duo explore their songwriting craft further to create an extremely innovative record.
The band have so far received immense support across the board, with spots on the playlists of Pete Tong, Annie Mac and Steve Lamacq, and club support from the likes of Tiga, Erol Alkan and Brodinski. Locally, Always More has remained one of Triple J’s most played songs since release, and the band are touring Australia in September – October to play the 2009 Parklife Festival.
autoKratz’ formidable live shows across the globe have seen them become one of the most sought after breakthrough prospects in electronic music, with the band enjoying ecstatic responses at festivals across Europe including Glastonbury, Lowlands & Pukkelpop. The autoKratz set combines their trademark rock and roll energy with their remarkably distinctive electro sound; a recipe which has seen them touted as the most significant live electronic act to have emerged in recent years.
Of the album, David says “Its unique and its personal. It’s captured an energy which I think is genuinely exciting and
reflective of who we are as people.” Russell has a similar sense of accomplishment, “We were so keen to create something out of the ordinary; something people might not expect. The result is songs about us that we hope to have a real impact on people’.
The London based duo, inspired by Daft Punk, Kraftwerk and Underworld, have enjoyed success through remixes for Underworld, Fischerspooner and La Roux and live tours alongside the likes of Digitalism and Underworld. With Animal, autoKratz have undoubtedly embarked on an ascension to prominence that, according to the NME, “will nudge them into the big league”.
