Plus, new single ‘Stay The Same’ out NOW with exclusive new remixes from Noob & Deathface (not on original promo CDs)

Being, as nightlife bible Time Out puts it, “terrific, premier-league party starters” and following in the wake of their widely acclaimed debut album Animal, it made perfect sense for autoKratz to head back on the road and give the baying masses what they want. Expect growling, roaring and generally beastly electronic pop.

Producer-of-the-moment Noob delivers a muscular, squidgy house monster, fresh from his massive remixes for Tiga & D.I.M.

The charmingly named Deathface (including autoKratz’s label mate Johnny from Guns n' Bombs) remix is a distorted, nasty, amen-fuelled freak-fest.

Japan’s finest electro protégés 80Kidz provide a lighter, poppier take on things whilst maintaining the energy of the original and adding old school riffs.
London's The Rogue Element combine uplifting electro with a down and dirty bassline workout and French newcomers Logo round things off with a subtly uplifting, arrpegioed electro floorfiller.

Kitsune / Co-operative Music
On recent debut album ‘Animal’:

The end of the British summer marks the release of the addictive summer smash ‘Stay The Same’ from the UK’s most talked about electronic stars to watch - autoKratz. This mammoth electro-indie dancefloor banger is the second single to be taken from the outstanding debut album ‘Animal’ (out now on Kitsune / Co-operative Music). With an infectious bass hook, epic chorus and driving beats, Stay The Same is sure to see their campaign for world domination advance in yet another giant leap.

It follows previous single Always More, a moment of electro-pop perfection, which caused a mighty a stir back in June, featuring regularly on the playlists of Pete Tong, Steve Lamacq, Kissy Sell Out, Lauren Laverne and Nemone. The press response was equally ecstatic with dazzling reviews across the board including NME, The Star and The Guardian.

autoKratz formidable live shows across the globe have seen them become one of the most sought after breakthrough prospects indie/dance music. This summer has seen them receive a rapturous response at festivals throughout Europe, whilst their own sell-out headline shows across the UK culminated with an ecstatic homecoming at London’s Scala back in June - a performance which justified why autoKratz have been touted as ‘the most significant live electronic act to have emerged in recent years.’

Stay The Same offers a glimpse of the variety and depth on the critically acclaimed Animal, 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 releasing some of the most exciting dancefloor smashes around. ‘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 from across the board, finding spots on the playlists of Pete Tong, Annie Mac and Steve Lamacq, whilst receiving club support from the likes of Tiga, Erol Alkan and Brodinski.
