Sending out echoes of jazz, electronica, ambient music and minimalism, Mercury Prize nominated Portico Quartet have created their own singular, cinematic sound over the course of five lauded studio albums and one EP.

From the band’s 2007 breakthrough Knee-Deep in the North Sea, and the John Leckie produced Isla in 2010, to the self-titled recording Portico Quartet in 2012, the heralded Art In The Age Of Automation in 2017 and the critically acclaimed Memory Streams in 2019, each album has seen the band expand its palate or explore new trajectories.

Kiro’s story as a DJ/Producer begins a while back, almost a decade ago, his passion for electronic music being sparked by Drum & Bass and Dubstep, starting off his journey with heavy sounds. 

Nowadays he is primarily a Breaks and Techno DJ, his sets standing out by the variety of subgenres mixed in a homogeneous way, creating diverse and sometimes eclectic soundscapes. 

Even though his style took this turn, he hasn't forgotten his roots and first love, so, on many occasions, when the opportunity appears, he still plays Drum & Bass, albeit with a more mature viewpoint, after years of accumulated experience. 

His production skills aren’t lacking either, notable releases are “Asia Din Dormitor”, a joint venture with Baria Q. Von Carra delivering a tight audio/video experience, singles like “Morph”, a deep dreamy like experience, and “Jazzy Groove”, a fruity and joyful journey.

Cerul se lasa greu peste celelalte organisme plutitoare ce serveau acum drept insule.
Namolul cocoaselor, locuite de servitori umili ai
sistemului patrulafizic, picura in ritmul respiratiei animalului batran. 
Ascuns in creierul unui organism, el incerca sa mediteze. 

Dedicated to making the unheard heard and the immovable move.
