Pleasurekraft

Pleasurekraft is a techno duo formed by Kaveh Soroush and Kalle Ronngardh, initially gaining international acclaim with their 2010 hit "Tarantula." Hailing from Sweden (Kalle) and the United States (Kaveh), the project quickly carved a niche in the electronic music scene with its distinctive blend of cosmic techno, melodic groove, and cerebral storytelling. Over the years, Pleasurekraft evolved from their early "techno with soul" sound into a darker, more expansive, and thought-provoking style they term "cosmic techno.

" Their productions have been released on esteemed labels such as Drumcode, Kraftek (their own imprint), Toolroom, and others, and are supported by top-tier DJs globally. Their debut album, "Friends, Lovers, & Other Constellations," showcased their signature fusion of science, philosophy, and cinematic soundscape, while follow-up releases continued their exploration of ethereal, driving techno. Performing at world-renowned venues and festivals including Awakenings, Fabric London, and Ultra Music Festival, Pleasurekraft are known for immersive sets that push the boundaries of the genre.

The duo’s commitment to intellectual and artistic growth is reflected not only in their music but in their written accompaniments and conceptual art, inviting listeners to engage with techno on a deeper level.
