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.

After bursting onto the House Music scene in 2016, Ayeja have been perfecting their melodic brand of ethereal dance music that touches all the right points in an industry in search of songs of sublime beauty. 

As with many artists during the pandemic, they retreated within themselves and are now coming back in 2023 with four extraordinary tracks that will drive festivals and dancefloors to the edge of ecstasy and beyond.

Inspired by the glory days of House in the early 2000s by labels such as Hedkandi and Subliminal, they have also incorporated the sounds of funk/disco and jazz fusion from the 1970s, including bands such as Earth Wind & Fire and Weather Report. Classical composers such as Debussy, Stravinsky and Shostakovich have also allowed them to develop a rich tapestry of musical soundscapes that adds much vitality to their work.

Their music is beyond the sample driven mash-ups of many of today’s dance tracks. With sumptuous keys, soaring vocals, rounded bass and those ever-present addictive beats, they are producing songs
that will work with any audience, in any environment. As 2023 rolls around, Ayeja plans to take their show on the road with their two new singles Can’t Get Over It and On My Own plus many more to come.

Discover the world of Ayeja as they turn nectar into honey.
