“Elodie” is officially out today on Magnetic Magazine Recordings, marking Pørtl’s debut on the label.
The two-track EP pairs the title track with “Alba,” both sitting at 120 BPM and blending melodic house and techno with a focus on precision, atmosphere, and a strong sense of flow. It’s the 35th release on Magnetic Magazine Recordings and a clear statement of intent from a duo who have sharpened their process into something confident and instinct-led.

In their recent interview with us, Pørtl spoke about how easy it is to overwork an idea until it loses its spark. “Elodie” came together by staying close to the first idea, making only the changes that mattered, and leaving out anything that didn’t serve the track. Every sound has its place, and nothing is included just to fill space. That same focus runs through “Alba,” which carries its own distinct mood while complementing the lead track.
Both tracks reflect the persistence and collaboration that drive Pørtl’s music.
They’ve been open about the challenges of finishing songs — the hours spent on ideas that never make it past the demo stage and the patience it takes to push through those moments. Working together keeps their sessions moving forward, with new perspectives and shared feedback helping them avoid creative standstills. The result is music that feels cohesive and intentional, even when the ideas come from different starting points.
Pørtl’s debut on the label also shows their commitment to building a sound that is entirely theirs. They are not chasing trends or trying to fit into a specific genre category. “Elodie” and “Alba” both work because they reflect the duo’s instincts and taste, delivering productions that sound true to where they are creatively right now.
With the EP now available on Beatport, fans can dive into the release in full. The title track’s melodic drive and measured pacing make it an instant standout, while “Alba” offers a darker counterbalance without breaking the flow. Together, they introduce Pørtl’s vision to Magnetic Magazine Recordings and set the tone for what’s to come.
