‘The Count Is In The House’

‘One Eyed Man’

Portico Quartet – Portico Quartet

The third album from the east London genre fusers is addictive medicinal ambient pleasure. A Jazz soul is fused with electronica, dance, classical and ambient sounds that create a special and unusual soundscape. Highly recommended.

‘Spinner’

‘Ruins’

‘City Of Glass’

And today’s final track was ‘I Just Want To Make Love To You’ by Etta James who passed away earlier this weekend. Her voice will be truly missed.
