about

Alan Abraham who makes music as Portable and Bodycode, belongs to the very special character heads in the world of the electrical thump and sizzle. His releases amongst others were on Background, Context, Karat, Yore, Perlon, Spectral Sound and his own vehicle Süd Electronic. These abound only as they can from an independent-sovereign zigzag, they are right at home in the retail boisterousness; an island in the record bin. As well his debut for kindred spirits Musikkrause abounds also but as an autonomous, fulminating escapade in terms of lunacy, elation, freedom rocking a bacchanal attitude. Alan's inspirational sources appear to be so diverse, that he has worked in a nonchalant embodiment of melancholy-tinted voice, polyrhythmic afro-constructs and industrial/experimental drone refinements to this tone cosmos. With that he developed, supported on the pillars of house and techno, a frankness which is seldom heard. Two personable pieces - elementary and pretentious - play from a frank perspective that comes across so fresh and ... understood. They slip in unabashed and take care for an astounding public display. A heaven full of genial hypnosis and a human monstrosity!
