Porter Brook’s experimentation with Live Coding considers the reality of dance music culture in the 2020’s to be inseparably mediated through algorithms and digital space. The attention economy and the corporate co-optation of the underground has dissolved a large part of dance music culture in an acrid solvent of content creation.

Prefrontal Asymmetry liberates itself within the overstimulation which this generational change demands of us. By seldomly evoking traditional motifs and clichés of the dance-floor amongst fierce algorithmic noise and repurposed snippets of short-form digital media, Prefrontal Asymmetry provides an alternative and optimistic thesis on the perceived annihilatory Zeitgeist of Gen-Z Clubland:

“Nothing can be more freeing than resigning oneself to onslaught of stimulus, and rejecting the sincerity of such content in favour of heartfelt experimentation, cherished relationships and the joy of experience.”

This modus operandi is bolstered by collaborative work with Lagos Born, Manchester Based vocalist LINTD [@L1NTD], who provides technologically mutated ruminations on self esteem, value, and fear within our contemporary landscape. A remix from GAEL [@gaelabakarova] on the B side further contextualises and physicalises the message.

TL;DR - This record is sort of TikTok Techno.
