It received a range of reviews including 4/5 in Q Magazine, who said of the album "Superclub dancefloors are safe in London Duo's hands....dealing in peak time pop nuggets welded to Terminator style-backbones". The first single taken from the album was "Opposite of Love", which premiered on BBC Radio 1 with Jaymo and Andy George. The album saw the band collaborate with some of their heroes including New Order bassist Peter Hook, Primal Scream guitarist Andrew Innes and Primal Scream and Kasabian producer Jagz Kooner. Peter Hook featured on the second single to come off the album, "Becoming the Wraith", and he joined the band on stage to perform the track at Summer Sonic festival in Tokyo, where they headlined the second stage. On the subject of the collaboration, Hook said "I was delighted to be asked by autoKratz and knowing their music, I understand why. The song was great before I even touched it. "I just put the icing on the cake so it was a real pleasure." In late 2011, the autoKratz track "Stay The Same" featured in the motion picture 50/50 with Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. With the growing success of their label Bad Life, the latter part of 2011 saw autoKratz return to releasing more club-centric tracks and adopting a sound which combined elements of electro and techno. The autoKratz present Bad Life #1 EP featured tracks "Heart Attack Man" and "Sucker Sirens", and became Mixmag 's 'Electro Tune of the Month' for January 2012. This was followed by "Faith", a collaboration with Lee Mortimer, which also received the Mixmag accolade again for February 2012, as well as becoming DJ Mag 's 'Tune of the Month'. Both releases received favourable DJ support worldwide finding their way into the playlists of Style of Eye and Benny Benassi. They became part of a burgeoning new scene known as Future Techno and early 2012 also saw the release of autoKratz present Bad Life #2, which cemented the band's intention to continue making progressive electronic music. They also developed a more techno inspired live show for their first Bad Life label tour in Spring 2012. Discography
