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.

Mille Plateaux is a label for experimental electronic music and electronic arts. It has had a significant influence on genres such as Clickhop, Glitch, Clicks & Cuts, and Minimal. The name "Mille Plateaux" comes from a concept and principal work co-authored by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, French psychoanalyst and philosopher respectively. Founded in 1993 by Achim Szepanski, the label was initially a sublabel of Force Inc. Music Works until 2004. After being temporarily revived as MillePlateauxMedia in 2004 by Achim Szepanski, it was later run by Disco Inc. Ltd in 2006 and Marcus Gabler in 2008. In 2018, the label Mille Plateaux was launched again by Achim Szepanski.

Porter Ricks is a collaboration between Thomas Köner and Andy Mellwig. After the Re-release of the legendary album Biokinetics, which is superb subaquatic dub techno, here comes Porter Ricks first album on Mille Plateaux. The album demonstrates the move to a kind of discoid funkyness with an underlying almost organic rhythmight. But still it's not music for beautiful souls. Instead, it combines funkyness with alien sonic fluxes and the rhythm of a killing mover.
