After nearly a year hiatus, Portnall Progcast is back with a special mix from easily it's finest contributor to date. 
The past year has seen the world determinedly slink out of Covid based choke hold. Cities are again open, clubs are again packed, and we are back enjoying music side by side like we thought we never would since the pandemic started. 
For most producers the pandemic offered a period of forced solitude in which to explore and progress their talent. This was no different for London (UK) based progressive house wizard Essco, who has seen the fruits of his lockdown labours release music on labels such as Cosavepole Recordings, Nylo Labs, and Cr8 Records, searing our eardrums with his rolling basslines through both headphones and club speakers alike. 
2022 feels like the beginning of something huge for Essco; the same breath of fresh air and anticipation we all feel coming out of the pandemic, and it's our pleasure to share his mix of tracks "special to him" as a means to propel the Portnall Progcast back into orbit.

Portnall Progcast 09 - Essco

London based music enthusiast, dominator of dancefloor real estate, abuser of Abelton, torturer of tireless and tolerant production tutors, belligerent of the bad beat-match, and magician of majorly mediocre musical moments. 

Loving life through all angles of dance music, the moments it gives us, and the intimacy it provides to all that let it.

☾ Inspired by a deep instinct to dance ☽

Deep connection with music emerged as an instinctive means of expression for kayḆe growing up as a dancer in Australia. This early bond between movement and music set the foundation for her cinematic sound & intuitive understanding of rhythm and flow.

kayḆe refers to her signature style as 𝓉𝓌𝒾𝓈𝓉𝑒𝒹 𝒻𝒶𝓃𝓉𝒶𝓈𝓎; blending deep rolling grooves with psychedelic rhythms, and darker-hypnotic melodies intended to make your mind travel...Often shifting tempo to master the mood of the dance floor, she explores the depths of downtempo, psy-tech/chill, minimalistic deep-tech & world electronica. 

As co-founder of the şanctuary śessions collective alongside her twin sister, their aim is to curate unique musical experiences that introduce artistic diversity to the dance floor. Sanctuary advocates for artistic freedom whilst shining a light on raw underground talent from their global artist collective, booking roster, and gems within the scene that have inspired their musical journey to date..🌘
