Porter Ricks

Porter Ricks, named after a character on the '60s TV show Flipper, is an influential duo specializing in subaquatic dub techno. Consisting of ambient maestro Thomas Köner and beatmeister Andy Mellwig, they gained popularity in the mid-'90s experimental techno scene with their unique sound that combined undersea sonar frequencies and wind-tunnel ambience. Their singles on the Basic Channel sublabel Chain Reaction became touchstones for the genre and even influenced artists like Plastikman. With releases on Force Inc., Barooni, and collaborations with Techno Animal, Porter Ricks left a lasting impact on electronic music.

In 2016, *Porter Ricks* reunited for a performance at the Berlin Atonal festival after a 17-year hiatus. This marked their return to the music scene, followed by the release of their first material in years - the Shadow Boat EP (on Tresor). The duo's full-length album Anguilla Electrica was released in 2017.
