An accomplished DJ/Live Performer, his repertoire ranges from nu-soul, free jazz to experimental electronic orientations, appearing in venues like the BlueNote(NY), Jazz Cafe(London), Prince Charles(Berlin), Jazz House(Copenhagen), Nublu(Istanbul), and Boiler Room TV. Porter has released 4 benchmark albums, transcending jazz, techno and hip hop with pineal Afro-futurist vision. Porter is always exploring new ways to bring feeling and unique expressions into the electronic realms. Liberating perceptions by offering a positive vision of how relations between modern rhythmic music and African-American history can be highlighted and explored artistically.
