Phork

On 4 February 2017, Phork was a guest on Marco's Island. Phork has been played on NTS over 20 times, featured on 20 episodes and was first played on 26 October 2012.

PHORK (a.k.a. P.H.O.R.K., standing for "People’s Higher Order of Royal Kinship") is the Los Angeles-based producer of mutant techno Neal Reinalda. Since 2012 Reinalda has dropped several album-length cassette releases, showcasing a hi-def, abstract form of footwork, heavy on vocal snippets.

PHORK succeeds in injecting a warmth and humanity into dance music that is wholly original, keeping a global influence in its sampling studies, while receiving guidance from the worlds of noise, hip-hop, ambient, and sound art. Mood and atmosphere are established through glossy, ultra-tight production and focused composition, typically with slow build-ups, pulsing with life even in the absence of rhythm. The result reaches new depths in contemporary electronic music, engaging through sonic texture, repetition, and the matrimony of inhuman and organic worlds. Reinalda’s Baltimore roots shine through in his informed conceptual framework, holding a mirror to daydreams of post-consumerism and dark ecology. Systems are questioned, interconnectedness is examined, and yet still nothing is as it seems.
