The Deepblak Co-Head affectionately titled the <strong>Rhythm Czar<\/strong> has steadily become one of the most well respected creators in Electronic music. Ever the artist Eric maintains a low profile staying true to his craftsmanship. Along with his releases on Deepblak his music has found it&#8217;s way on to other labels such as UK based Bitasweet (Bugz In The Attic), Puerto Rico based Amalgama, German based Rubaiyat, and Gilles Peterson&#8217;s Brownswood imprint. As a student of the rhythmic arts, Eric is also an accomplished DJ\/Live Performer having opened shows for acts like Outkast, Rakim, Dead Prez, played in the Band of nu soul icon Julie Dexter, appeared in clubs like the BlueNote\/New York &amp; Jazzcafe\/London. His project Student Body Presents recently caught a lot of attention with the \u201cafro punk\u201d track \u201cboxes\u201d which was released on the \u201cBlack Rock Coaltion\u201d CD (New York), and as a 7inch on Rubaiyat.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bjeYSQKUvKg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; \u201c This is not your usual electronica album: it\u2019s fresh,exciting &amp; brave enough to follow a different way; deepness galore!\u201d Georgia Ann Muldrow (Los Angeles &#8211; Stones Throw)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2011 Porter released his benchmark album &#8220;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/deepblakmusic.com\/db2\/?p=1442\">Means and Ways<\/a><\/strong>&#8221; LP which brought him universal praise as one of the ground breaking artists\/albums of the year.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Douglass&#8217;<\/strong> preoccupation with rhythm, however, fixates on the oddities\u2014the mutations, the dualities and instances of bare collision.
