autoKratz
Aggressive, high-gloss electro that hits with the force of a rock band. Distorted synths and driving beats for dark dancefloors and urban nights.

autoKratz sounds like the exact moment a late-night party turns from celebratory to intense. Their music is built on a foundation of massive, side-chained synth lines that breathe with a mechanical urgency, paired with drum programming that feels both surgical and punishing. It is the sound of London's electronic underground filtered through the chic, distorted lens of the French touch movement.
What sets them apart is the 'rock and roll' DNA embedded in their electronic architecture. Unlike many of their contemporaries who lean into pure pop or minimalist techno, autoKratz embrace a gritty, almost confrontational energy. The vocals are often delivered with a post-punk sneer, providing a human anchor to the swirling, metallic textures and maximalist production that defines their peak-era Kitsuné releases.
Start with the album 'Animal' to experience their most cohesive vision. It captures the duo at their most anthemic, blending club-ready hooks with a dark, cinematic atmosphere that works just as well on a solo night walk as it does in a packed warehouse.
autoKratz is a London based electronic duo composed of David Cox and Russell Crank. They have released on both French electronic label Kitsuné Musique and their own imprint Bad Life.
