Drum and Bass producer from Bellingen, Australia. I specialize in melodic, deep, ethereal dnb. Crafting a careful coalescence between masculine and feminine energy. World building, story, and continuity are all important to me in music. I also like to play subtly with psychedelic or glitchy elements with my sound design. Aiming to create a blend of mystical and sentimental bass adventures that leave a lasting impression

Once upon a time a busy London party founded by Pete Cosby. Nowadays SOLU is a musical platform for us who used to run those parties in London and Europe to post music that drives us in current days.

Some of the Djs who featured on our parties are:
MARK FANCIULLI (Rejected / Saved Records) | MR.C (Superfreq / The End Club) | A GUY CALLED GERALD (Perlon /Bosconi / !K7 / Sugoi) | MARK HENNING (Poker Flat / Soma / Hypercolour)| DEMARZO (Hot Creations / Material) | TIGER STRIPES (Desolat / Get Physical / Aus Music)| SAYTEK LIVE (Cubism / My Favourite Robot / Soma)| COYU (Suara / Cocoon / Get Physical) | ITALOBOYZ (Viva Music / Superfiction Recordings / Moon Harbour)| TRAVA (Lex Records / Roxy Prague) | MARTIN HABERLAND [mie] | LADIDA (Article Records, Recode Records)

Channelling loving presence via impeccable sound design while tending to draw spirited and big hearted dancers to the floor.

Phortah's creative essence is somewhat free. He relates with the living tree, soil, sky, ocean and animal more so than with genre labels.

As an avid, exploratory, improvisational contemporary and contact dancer, his sound is informed by spontaneous rebellion against conditioned movement. Normality and convention are messed with.

"I listen to (feel) my animal body from within the living web which flows beyond intellectual capture.

With cues and guidance from nature, I cultivate visionary and feeling faculties as a part of the process. My music and dance practices are a part of this nourishing work. There has been a role for me to share from this place and I am grateful for all of the invitations and opportunities which have come from those who have recognised Phortah's offering. 

Sound wise, I work with various tools to create sensuous, enveloping auras which are often punctuated by saucy grooves. This aural recipe can be nourishing for humans and landscapes. I'm drawn to delving into deeper work with both.

My work with sound is supported first and foremost by a practice of listening." 

Relating with the gumbayngnirr and bundjalung nations on the east coast of Australia.

Phortah has released music with Dirtwire's Swamptronic Records (USA), Heimlich Musik (Vienna), leveldva (Moscow), Earthly Measures and Serafin Audio Imprint (Berlin).
