London-based Soccer 96 is a futuristic duo featuring keyboardist Danalogue (Dan Leavers) and drummer Betamax (Maxwell Hallett), which makes up two-thirds of The Comet Is Coming (with Shabaka Hutchings). They have just released their highly-anticipated fourth full-length album, titled Dopamine, which is inspired by a sci-fi theme in which robots have taken over the world, and humanities attempt to destroy them.
 
Featuring a heavy dose of mind-melting cosmic grooves through twelve tracks, the record blends together astral synths, and spacey atmospheric tones, with pulsating drum rhythms. The recording also features hypnotic-like vocals on two of the album’s most standout tracks by special guests Nuha Ruby Ra on the title track “Dopamine” and “Sitting On A Satellite” by Salami Rose Joe Louis.
 
Brilliant from start to finish, this is an incredible concept recording that, with one listen, will have listeners orbiting into the future. Now, I just wish there was a film to go with what would make a perfect soundtrack.
