Porter Brook forged his practice in the crucible of Sheffield’s Low-End industrialism. With two releases on Sheffield’s cult label and club-night Groundwork at the age of 17 (both engineered by Forgemaster’s Rob Gordon), Porter’s sound was already sonically aligned with the Steel City way back in 2019. He held a residency at Hope Works and No Bounds festival not long after and used this opportunity to expand on the influences of his youth. A transformative period in Leipzig, Germany, a clandestine hub of underground club music, became the fertile soil where the latest incarnation of Porter's sound blossomed, ultimately finding its rightful place within Al Wootton's esteemed Trule label. Since then, Porter has left indelible imprints on clubs such as the Institut für Zükunft, The White Hotel, Mjut, and Soup, as well as curating mixes for platforms such as Rinse FM and AFFXWRKS. As a DJ, he deftly balances an auteur-like attitude to experimental electronics with an instinctive understanding of the dancefloor’s needs. This is no doubt the inevitable result of an adolescence spent immersed in club music. The result is an exhilarating amalgamation of sensations, both intoxicating and, at times, disconcerting—a sonic blood rush to the head.
