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.

Arafúra is an organic ambient/neo-classical project by Michel de Jong, based in the Netherlands.

The creation of elusive, organic soundscapes by manipulating, sampling and using old analog sources, strings, piano's, various acoustic instruments, non-acoustic instruments and programming.

Warmth, spontaneity, nostalgia, fragility and the cyclicality of life - that’s what’s at the heart of this collective.

Established 1999. Releasing newfangled and archival sounds.
