Isabelline curator and label head Practitioner reveals a stunning selection of his own archival productions with 'Portobello Innocent', the third release on the mysterious and acclaimed Berlin-based imprint.

Recorded between 2016 - 2024, these five selected works offer a broad look into Practitioner’s sonic sphere. Introspective club reflections that cover a grand scope of machine-translated human emotions. The EP feels like a dug-up lost tape, timeless tracks untouched by current modes or trends, each composition progressively digging deeper into unknown chasms of the enigmatic producers' distinct sound.

Raisina - A hypnotic club track featuring sharp drum machine rhythms and a prominent vocal sample from a 1960s North African love song, creating an alluring and surreally beautiful opener.

Well-Behaved Boys - Pulsating, shuffling techno drums take front and centre, as warped frequencies from raves of a bygone era tune in and out, flickering between past and present with frenetic rhythms and spoken fragments.

Form & Emblem - An effervescent ambient interlude, its shimmering textures and layered atmospheres provide a meditative pause amidst the EP’s harder edges.

Kala - Hazy and dreamlike, this track layers a wandering dub bassline under a steady house beat, glimmering jazz chords and ethereal textures surround the sonic sphere, evoking flickering memories and lingering mystery.

Council - A relentless, bass-heavy techno groover with sharp vocal cuts and infectious energy. Council feels like a culmination of all that came before, resulting in a hypnotic and kinetic underground offering that feels infinite.

With 'Portobello Innocent', Practitioner offers a rare glimpse into his abstract realm, crafting magnetic spaces between memory and rhythm, the ancient and the future, the human and machine.[info sheet from distr.]
