We’ve been trying to get South African talent Portable (aka oddball techno artist Bodycode) on the podcast for ages, and we’re delighted to finally snare him. His mixture of deep house and techno flavours, occasional snatches of African rhythm and his haunting, moody, vocal style give his tracks an inimitable sound, and this glorious mix takes you from his deepest moments to some of his most heady. Formerly of !K7 Records, Live At Robert Johnson, Dial and Perlon to name but a few, his sterling reputation continued with the recent ’The Transit Of Mercury’ album on his newly-minted Khoikhoi Records label.

*How would you describe your sound?*
Music that elevates into another plane of thought, via rhythm and future primitive tones. 

*What and who inspires you and influences your sound?* 

It’s pretty broad, but generally speaking anything outside the norm — be it film, nature, music or art.

*Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?*

The majority of the material is from the last year or so and from my own label Khoikhoi Records, which is named after a tribe of South Africa, the region where I grew up and are my indirect ancestors, so the selection of tracks represents this new independent phase I am in.
