Co-produced by the band alongside Hugo Valverde, 'BODY TRANSMISSION' bottles the raw power of MAQUINA.'s now legendary live shows while pushing their songwriting further than ever before. Where records like 'DIRTY TRACKS FOR CLUBBING' and 'PRATA' thrived on improvisation and the flow state of live performance, this time Halison Peres (drums/vocals), José "Mendy" Rego (bass) and João Cavalheiro (guitar/effects) traded sprawling jams for tightly honed, three or four-minute bangers.

“It was the most challenging and fun we’ve ever had in the studio because we pushed ourselves to write songs rather than just capturing jams,” say the band. “We wanted it to feel heavy, focused, and relentless. We kept the tempo up and the energy peaking – it’s an 'always-on' record.” The result is a full-body rush geared towards the dance floor with no breaks; a club-ready rock record steered by the trio’s freight-train guitar, drums, and bass combo.

Blending techno, EBM, thrash metal, noise rock and industrial punk into something entirely their own, 'BODY TRANSMISSION' captures the intensity, physicality and catharsis that have made MAQUINA. one of Europe's most exhilarating live bands.  Preceded by the double drop 'pleasure/pressure' and 'agony', the collaboration with Barcelona's Dame Area 'dança' (a version of which debuted on their killer KEXP session earlier this year), and the band's first ever fully instrumental track 'simulation', the album now arrives in its complete, brilliantly unrelenting form.

Having now clocked up around 300 shows and festivals, MAQUINA.'s non-stop touring schedule continues apace with more 'BODY TRANSMISSION' tour dates lined up from August through October. Swipe across to see if they're stopping near you...
