Big Smoke Music Weekly -S5E5 - Porij

Season 5 is back after a short break from the firing line!

This episode involves a huge BigSmoke:InFocus interview with beat-makers Porij. They tell all about their quest to constantly experiment with sound and to create tunes that make gig venues and festivals shake and groove to their dance & garage inspired tracks.

Egg, Jacob and James from the band drop by for a chat as we delve into the beginnings of the band, touring with Metronomy, how they’ve gone back to bigger crowds post-lockdown and why that 80s and 90s fusion brings a sense of nostalgia to their music!

Plus, Luke tells all about his trip to Vienna, as well as a look ahead to Pohoda Festival out in Slovakia next month.

This week’s Close Up 60 Seconds chat is with Portsmouth surf-pop outfit, Dutch Criminal Record!

And we take a look at another classic gig review in our new feature, ‘Oldies are Goldies’. This time out, we take a trip back to 2007 and a Maccabees show in Glasgow.
