nachdenkliche töne forschen und schweben über einer dichten pulsierenden klangstruktur.

deep experimental house with some jazzy influence in the dub version

since the early aughts, alan abrahams aka portable has been producing records for labels like perlon, live at robert johnson, k7, and süd electronic. with his new band project “ranger”, the releases as bodycode and portable and his very own label khoikhoi to be launched this summer, the south africa born alan abrahams is an artist in-between genres. “a life without notifications” is now here, marking his first release for dial records.

portable is alan abrahams, a south african born artist, producer, and celebrated live act who has released his minimal wares on cult labels like perlon and live at robert johnson, as well as his own süd electronic label. abrahams’ first lp for !k7 is his most personal yet, taking the artist’s given name for its title. the album places portable’s distinctive vocals front and center, showcasing some very real song writing skills next to abrahams’ own piano playing, in addition to a few choice collaborators.
double vinyl release with cd-copy of the album included.

portable sunsets is one of the monikers of peter segerstrom: a producer based in brooklyn, us. he previously released his full-length album bless on atomnation, an lp as surfing on 1080p and another portable sunsets lp on deadelus magical property label. order is the follow up of these records and is a dreamy, somewhat lo-fi experimental techno lp. combined with an ancient ambient undertone, ‘order’ is not loosing its club ready vibe. this record floats somewhere between laid-back warehouse techno and the electronica genre - very much representing a unique style: peter often uses his own voice in his productions, programmed through self-created synths in max/msp. vocals have become textures and are used as a synth, pad or soundscape. the combination of genres makes order a perfect record to dream away on at home, as well as to dance to in clubs.

releasing albums on perlon, ~scape, background and his own label süd electronic, portable has appeared on a string of highly credible imprints, with singles also landing on karat records, musik krause and yore records. spending his early years in cape town, portable moved to london, followed by lisbon, before finally settling in berlin. whilst in lisbon he also created his bodycode alias, and soon after dropped an album on ghostly internationals sister-label spectral sound. kick-starting his release on rhythm cult, * reeva numbers* is a dusky production complete with ethereal organ chords, offbeat stabs and subtle melodies. next, * only human* draws from the sound of the producers bodycode moniker, implementing more dancefloor-focused aesthetics with the help of shuffling rhythms, deep vocal moans and heady keys. concluding the release, * moving, trains and you* is the most minimal number of the package with rolling percussion, soaring pads and a heightening suspense.

absorbingly melancholic, it is heartbreakingly honest throughout

portable is alan abrahams, a south african born artist and producer who is also a celebrated live act. emerging more than fifteen years ago with a sound that marries real electronic soul with deep moods and abstract grooves, he is someone who has released his minimal wares on cult labels like perlon and live at robert johnson, as well as his own süd electronic.

portable reworked by soul capsule, tofu productions and dimbiman. plus bonus mix of >find me< by mister abrahams himself.

the music of portable is truly unique. habitually perlons in-house singer and also the man that is bodycode, alan abrahams is capable of evoking the spirits of traditional deep house songs - yes, you read right: songs - without getting lost in nostalgia, manufacturing boring carbon copies or a longing for a past that never was. his first visit to ramonas little outlet is all that: haunting, melancholic yet optimistic, as deep as it is driving and most of all mesmerising. >a process< features all his great sound signature moves, comes with an acappella for brave djs and a serious flutramental on top of it all for the faint at heart. creation might be a painful process, but surely a rewarding one for portable. ramona is in love.

limited backstock action !!!

new album by portable. on the fifth longplayer, alan abrahams teams up with efdemin, johannes schön and >süd electronic< labelmate lakuti, to lead us into infinity. during the last 15 years, alan lived & composed in south africa / england / portugal and germany. he released records on background / context / karat / musik krause / scape / spectral / süd electronics and yore.

portable strikes back on karat 8 years after his first appearance on the label. hes now delivering two massive tunes that gonna smash any dancefloor around the planet. >inside your mind< is a build up track with a proper vocal describing different levels of consciousness, and about the way of living your inner thoughts. this is a true masterpiece, already charted by a lot of djs and surely a future karat classic. >the gheto escapes< is a floor burner, acid stomper track that never stops to push up the pressure. portable releases here the more dance orientated record of his career and be sure this one will satisfy any kind of djs, from the house heads to the proper techno addicts. one infinite loop is hidden at the end of the first side. enjoy

alan abrahams is portable and this is his second 12inch for perlon. a pretaste of his forthcoming album, expected sometime in 2011 through this channel. after spending some time in london and berlin, alan recently moved to lisbon, where he continuously works on his very own definition of house. while the a-side, life magically is a stripped down mental monster, the b-side offers the perfect love song entitled >find me<.its all about soul and if you have the chance, we highly recommend portables current live show, its a trip!

das xaver fischer trio kehrt in neuer besetzung zurück. zusammen mit dem bassisten krischan frehse von der tv total studioband heavytones und dem roachford-drummer hendrik smock hat sich xaver fischer praktisch ohne irgendeine songidee ins kölner maarwegstudio begeben und aus spontanen jam sessions heraus stücke entwickelt. nach nur zwei erstaunlich kreativen tagen hatte die band elf neue tracks eingespielt und dabei alle selbstaufgestellten regeln weitgehend eingehalten: no sequencing / no quantize / no loops / no overdubs / no more than three takes / no digital editing / no clicktrack / no recording of things you cant perform live
das ergebnis ist ein album im typischen, aber deutlich aufgefrischten xaver fischer trio sound. elemente des afrobeats und des jazzrocks wurden ebenso verarbeitet wie die aktuelle dancemusik eines david guetta.

alan abrahams, the man behind portable, emerged out of the ruins of a post apartheid south africa. growing up in an impoverished cape town township, tagged >beverly hills< by the locals, abrahams was always immersed in his sisters ritual of getting ready for a night out to a soundtrack of 80s soul, hi life and hip hop. inspired by the first batch of chicago house records, the foundations were laid for his future in music. experimenting with ways of combining traditional african rhythms with the 4/4 sound of house,abrahams completed various projects in south africa. most of which gave a commentary to the political turmoil of the country at the time. abrahams inevitably became frustrated by the geographic isolation of the country and relocated to london in 1997. in the uk abrahams went on to complete various releases for internationally recognised labels such as context and background records before starting up his own label, süd electronic in 2002
