Biography

In 2005 Istanbul’s club scene was turned on its head overnight by the emergence of Portecho, the electronica act, whose riveting live presence and driving beats defined a new, unprecedented performance paradigm as they played to packed venues across Turkey, Europe, and the US. Their 2006 debut Undertone, captured the club vibe of their stage shows perfectly. Over the years, Portecho’s musical palette expanded and Studio Plastico, which was released in 2009, proved that the band were not afraid to push the boundaries of the sound they pioneered. In their 2013 release Motherboy, Portecho took a quantum leap forward, taking all their idiosyncratic elements into deeper, more organic reaches. This time around, the grooves had a much funkier and more retro quality. The resulting sound was darker with a straight-off-vinyl feel. In 2014 they released "Eye of the Storm"; the first single of many to come from PORTECHO's own label "Santima Records". Portecho is indie electronica both old-school and bleeding-edge, and shows artists with a consistent worldview who are yet unafraid of experimentation and reinvention.
