N.B: My Electronic/Dance music is published under the name 'Portal'

Music by Joel Young

This section covers the more 'acoustic' side of my music, and is published under my own name.

In The Quietness (2006-8)

Satsang music, acoustic, spiritual, what you might most expect on this site. Latest album is work in progress. This work has a 'sparse, spacious and rootsy' feel to it's production. Ready tracks offered here. More to be added soon. The track 'Who Are You?' is featured on The Journey's outreach compilation 'Pooja', alongside the likes of Mitten & Premal, Kirtana and Oliver James.

Discover Me (2001-3)

First Solo album, words of humanity, spirituality and healing. Acoustic through to rock. This album has more of a 'full production' feel to it, with drums, multiple guitars and vocals, orchestral backing arrangements and occasional synth lines.

Music by Portal

My other love is to produce electronic and dance music, which I publish under the name Portal. I like to include all sorts of electronic styles, from House to Drum'n'Bass, from Hip-Hop to Pop and even some Experimental. It's a lot of play!

Welcome To Infinite Pleasure (2002-4)

First Portal album, explores spirituality in the human body - and is great to dance to! Largely fits in the House/Trance sphere, with a few exceptions.

At Home With The Paradox (2005-8)

This work continues and develops where 'Infinite Pleasure' left off. In general there is more use of vocal ideas, and I've tried my hand at some hip-hop grooves, and a bit more 'Cosmic' Drum'n'Bass. There are a few more tracks that need a final polish in order to call this a 'complete' project - it's very close and all finished tracks are available here.

Body Of God (2008)

So far this is just a couple of new tracks that came through over the new years holiday. With a deeper bass lead feel, I'm excited about how this project will develop. Both tracks available now.

Portal Backstory...

Mobi meets Buddha?

For you keen historians, I thought I would offer a little background to how 'Portal' evolved.
