Porij

Porij is an electronic dance quartet whose music is not that easy to place in any particular box other than to say that they work on the artsier side of the genre. They flirt with a range of rhythmic forms that fall under that heading, including techno, disco, Latin, drum 'n' bass, keeping it non-committal on that front, at least thus far. That said, they have clearly been able to home in on a sound already. Some of it comes from Eggy's soft vocals, for sure, but a good deal of it also has to do with their use of the breakbeat, the openness of their synth space, their vocal layering and interplay, plus their tendency to jazz it up a couple of notches further than most other acts in the same space.
