Portico Quartet Launch Remix Competition

• 12th Jan 2012

Portico Quartet have teamed up with Soundcloud to celebrate the upcoming release of their new album ‘Portico Quartet’ out 30th January 2012, by inviting the world to remix their phenomenal album track ‘Steepless’ which features singer-songwriter Cornelia.

The Mercury nominated East London based outfit’s unique music has expanded to embrace new sonic territories on their third album release. Drawing on the inspiration of electronica, ambient, classical and dance music they take their strange, beautiful, cinematic, future music to exciting new vistas where the inspiration of Burial, Mount Kimbie and Flying Lotus rubs shoulders with the textures of Arve Henriksen and Bon Iver and echoes of Steve Reich and Max Richter.

Portico Quartet are encouraging fans and newcomers to their music the chance to remix ‘Steepless’, a track from their upcoming self titled album. Uniquely for them the track features a vocal collaboration, with East London based Swedish singer, Cornelia, whom they met through their friend Jamie Woon.

First prize includes a Pro SoundCloud account worth over £200 (courtesy of SoundCloud.com), all 3 Portico Quartet Vinyl LP releases, a limited edition EP and a pair of tickets to one of their upcoming gigs (excluding festivals). Two runners up will receive a Soundcloud Lite account and a copy of the new album.
