British electronic pioneers Portion Control release 1983-86 – Hit The Pulse to Purge… today, revisiting a crucial period in their early catalogue.
The collection documents music created when industrial electronics, EBM and experimental tape culture were still developing their vocabulary.
A limited red-vinyl edition condenses the era into ten key tracks, while expanded formats provide a broader archive.
Portion Control's influence extends well beyond their commercial profile, particularly through the harder electronic scenes that followed. Bringing this material back into circulation in 2026 gives younger dark-electronic listeners a direct route into music whose rhythmic aggression and technological anxiety still sound remarkably contemporary.
