Producer, vocalist, and experimentalist Alan Abrahams (a.k.a Portable / Bodycode) will launch his Khoikhoi Records label with the Believing EP. 

Abrahams has been releasing music under his Portable and Bodycode guises for 20 years, seamlessly forging his South-African heritage with a futurist house sensibility. Now based in Paris, following stints in London, Lisbon, and Berlin, Abrahams will launch Khoikhoi, named after the pre-colonial tribes in the South African region where Abrahams grew up. The word roughly translates to “the first men.” 

The label’s first release will be Believing, a new EP that “proves to be as hopeful, honest, and touching as Abraham’s finest work,” we’re told.
