Portrait (DE)

Joining the dots between driving Techno, classic Acid & earthy, reduced House music – Portrait AKA South London Ordnance has spent the last few years developing a unique voice as both a DJ and a producer. Taking cues from the sound of 80’s pan-European dance music, from East Germany to the Hague & beyond, the British artist has found a comfortable space channeling the spirit of Cold Wave & early Italo Disco - re-contextualising rolling arpeggios & emotive leads into a contemporary Techno framework. Big room, chrome plated drums trade blows with caustic synths & warping ambience to generate a refreshing, modern sound. Touring internationally on a regular basis, original productions have seen support from a wealth of industry heavyweights - from Surgeon to Sven Väth, MaryAnne Anne Hobbes to Marcel Dettman,
