Alan Abrahams
Having grown up on the Cape flats of South Africa, Alan Abrahams moved to London at the end of the 1990s and began producing music there. Within quite a short time, he had made a name for himself with his project Portable, and later as Bodycode, as an exquisite producer of experimental electronica, techno and house – often rooted in deep house. Abrahams has released on such renowned labels as Background, ~scape, Perlon, !K7, Dial and Ghostly International. A Portable album also bears his name.
After stints in Lisbon and Berlin, he now lives in Paris, where he also runs the Khoikhoi label – named after the indigenous population of southern Africa (today's republics of South Africa and Namibia).
With Ascend, Alan Abrahams presents his first album under his own name on Italic Recordings.
