Sign to Real World Records. Announce New Recording and Spring Tour Dates Sign to Real World Records. Announce new recording and spring tour dates. + Crisis Hidden Gig on June 2 with Star Sailor and Bombay Bycyle Club Portico Quartet are four young musicians from London who sound like nothing you’ve ever heard before. Their strange, beautiful sound was honed busking at the South Bank in London and playing in unusual spaces; churches, galleries and chill-out zones. The band, who all live together in East London, describe their ethos as like an Indy band that plays post-jazz and their unique, hooky sound has won them fans from Gilles Peterson to Radio 4 as well as catching the ear of Real World Records head honcho Peter Gabriel. Their debut album Knee-Deep In The North Sea (Babel/Vortex records) was named Time Out’s Jazz, Folk and World music album of the year for 2007 and was one of the Nationwide Mercury Prize albums of the year for 2008 Portico Quartet signed to Real World Records in February 2009 and will record their eagerly anticipated second album and label debut with producer John Leckie (Doves, Radiohead, The Stone Roses) at the helm at Abbey Road in May. “We are delighted to be releasing Portico Quartet on Real World Records. They create environments with their own world of sounds, that are as stimulating as they are soulful " Peter Gabriel “We are all really delighted to be joining the Real World family and of course excited to be recording at Abbey Road with one of our favourite producers John Leckie”. Portico Quartet The band also tour in May with dates in Penzance, Constantine, Bristol, Plymouth, Brighton, Liverpool, Manchester, Coventry, Leeds and the Cheltenham and Bath jazz festivals. Full tour dates attached. Portico Quartet are Jack Wyllie (sax and loops), Milo Fitzpatrick (double bass), Nick Mulvey (Hang) and Duncan Bellamy (drums and Hang), and it’s the mix of ethereal saxophone, otherwordly Hang, clattering drums and earthy double-bass that gives their music it’s inimitable, beautiful sound. It was the chance purchase of the Hang by Duncan Bellamy, at WOMAD, that inspired the young friends to start a band, and while their largely intuitive music references jazz and African music it’s the Hang inspired trance-like repetitive patterns of Duncan and Nick Mulvey that propel the band into stranger pastures.

Press praise for Portico Quartet and Knee-Deep In The North Sea “Try to imagine the coolest film never made. We mean really cool. Steve McQueen and Samuel L, on 'Easy Rider' choppers, in a French film-noir spy film, infiltrating a Yakuza Samurai cult. Portico Quartet would provide the soundtrack” Channel 4.com “Will it win? Unprecedentedly for the jazz one – it might well do” The Times “A phenomenon in the making” The Independent “Uber-cool jazz buskers” the Guardian “What Portico do is not simply jazz, it's well structured instrumental pop - sometimes upbeat and danceable like on Cittagazze; at other times dreamy, languid and atmospheric”. Q (The Music) Website “They always returned to that grass-roots, organic sound that has taken them from the South Bank, via intimate venues like this, to – who knows: Mercury Music triumph?” The Independent ‘As traditionally hook based as anything from rock, to hip hop” The Guardian "This unforgettable disc shimmers with brilliance." BBC Music Magazine “Haunting, beautifully austere sound” Metro “Danceable chamber jazz soundscapes combine hectic soprano sax riffing over a dynamic rhythm section and should make them a Glasto fixture’ “‘best of the rest” Q Glastonbury Review 2008 “Strange but beautiful stuff” Notion “Hummable melodies” the Sun "A strikingly original sound."The Times "The group generates pieces with a recognisably human pulse – ECM with a little extra passion, if you will..chamber jazz with a Late Junction twist" Sunday Times ‘Fresh, fun and different…an ear for a highly quotable melody” jazzwise " Great stuff,... a cross between jazz and modern classical. It's mellifluous, exuberant and jaunty, full of catchy tunes and strong hooks" Allaboutjazz .

  • Dengue Fever Band Bio 2013
    Chhom Nimol – vocals Senon Williams – bass Zac Holtzman – guitar, vocals Ethan Holtzman – keyboard Paul Smith – drums David Ralicke – horns At the close of 2012, DENGUE FEVER (www.denguefevermusic.com), a band widely recognized for its trademark blend of 60’s Cambodian pop and psychedelic rock, proudly announced the launch of its homegrown label, TUK TUK Records. The band’s newly established independence marks yet another chapter in the continual evolution of a group unlike many in the Los Angeles music scene. Currently in the studio recording tracks for their next release, DENGUE FEVER launched TUK TUK to release their back catalog, potential solo music from its band members, and previously released but long out-of- print music related to each band member. Their first two releases included their long out-of-print eponymous debut (2003) and its critically acclaimed sophomore follow-up, Escape from Dragon House (2005). Amazon.com named Dragon House the #1 int’l release for 2005, and Mojo magazine named it in their Top 10 World Music releases of 2006. Each album has been expanded into digital deluxe editions with rare and unreleased bonus tracks from the band’s archives. Eminent musicians from around the world took notice of the band’s rise over their first half-decade. In 2008, Real World Records Founder and musician, Peter Gabriel, licensed their third release, Venus on Earth, for the world and noted, "They're California-based but have taken '60's Cambodian pop as their main source of inspiration and it's done with style. Its spirited, impassioned." More kudos came from Metallica’s Kirk Hammett who handpicked the band’s song “One Thousand Tears of A Tarantula” from Dragon House for his Rolling Stone magazine ‘Best Music Of The Decade’ ballot - as the second best song of the entire decade.

  • Portico Quartet Portico Quartet PR
    Portico Quartet Portico Quartet Mercury nominated East Londoners release their third, self-titled, album. Real World Records - CDRWP186 - Release date: 30 January 2012 Portico Quartet still sound like nothing you ever heard before. The Mercury nominated East London based outfit’s unique music has expanded to embrace new sonic territories. Drawing on the inspiration of electronica, ambient, classical and dance music as they take their strange, beautiful, cinematic, future music to exciting new vistas where the inspiration of Burial, Mount Kimbie and Flying Lotus rubs shoulders with the textures of Arve Henriksen and Bon Iver and echoes of Steve Reich and Max Richter. But all underpinned by a shared joy in collective music making as the band push their inimitable music into the future. It’s a change that was brewing for some time. As anyone who saw Portico Quartet live throughout 2010 knew, the band had added a heady brew of live samples and loops to their arsenal, exploring a harder-edged sound that brought a more contemporary edge to their previously wholly acoustic music. It was a metamorphosis that was accelerated when the band’s original hang player, Nick Mulvey, left to explore his own musical muse earlier this year and the remaining members drummer Duncan Bellamy, bassist Milo Fitzpatrick and saxophonist Jack Wyllie started exploring the possibilities of sampling the hang and triggering it’s sounds from electronic pads, opening up a whole new way of utilising the instrument’s unique sound. It accelerated further when they invited keyboard player, and now hang player, Keir Vine (an old friend of Milo’s from Goldsmith’s University) to come on board.
