Porl Young has more than established himself as a Producer, Remixer and
DJ. Whether working by himself or within some of the UK's best loved dance production teams he has consistently delivered; equally at home producing dirty
afterhours anthems, commercial, hands-in-the-air club classics and pure unashamed pop, his versatility defies any conventional labeling.
Under his own name Porl's produced a string of high profile remixes, including Fundo Feat. Elena Josepha,Christina Aguilera,SJB feat. Jane Wiedlin, Fargetta, The Source feat Candi Staton, Rozalla & Anastacia; singles and albums for 4Real records' pop diva Zeena Gulzar and singer songwriter Thomas Bromley, and a series of original commercial dance tracks for DT Inc. Added to this are his own productions, releases and collaborations under the names DJ Elvira, Muneca and LAQ.
As co-producer and engineer for DJ Wayne G over the past 10 years he's collaborated on a host of remixes, productions and releases including Love Inc, Darren Hayes, Celine Dion, Sandy B, Soft Cell, Suzanne Palmer, Kristine W and all of Wayne's Funky G releases and infamous Heaven Anthem mixes.
As principal producer and engineer for Shanghai Surprize there have been commercial club remixes for Annie Lennox, Erasure, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Robin Gibb, Deacon Blue, Hi On Life, Alan Connor, Boogie Pimps feat. Steve Brookstein and Sean Ensign to name a few...
As a DJ, Porl's long running residency at Heaven alongside fellow producer Wayne G really put him on the map. A big room DJ playing big room sounds, he's adverse to categorisation; with his broad musical style taking in Funky house, Electro House, Tribal and NRG he is notorious for taking clubbers up and away on a musical journey.
Along with residencies at Revenge, Brighton and Anthem, London he's a regular guest at the legendary Fallen Angel parties in Cusco, Peru and had numerous requests to DJ around the globe including Follies Pigalle (Paris), Garage (Lisbon), Kadoc (Albufeira), Euro Pride and GayPeru in Lima.

He's been engineer for Ana Torroja (Spain), Fito Paez (Argentina), Tony Mansfield, the Beatmasters and for Paul Masterson, with whom he worked on several Candy Girls and Wand classics including Da Mob feat. Jocelyn Brown and Amen UK.
Porl was co-producer and engineer for the Sleazesisters remix team with Peter Martine, remixing a stellar list of pop artists in their definitive NRG style. Atomic Kitten, Ace Of Base, Aqua, Dana International, Frankie Goes To Hollywood,Geri Halliwell, Billie Piper and Steps are just a few of the artists that received the Sleazesisters touch.
He was also co-producer, writer and engineer with Micky Modelle in the Tuff Twins, releasing several club classics and remixing Ace Of Base, Atomic Kitten and Samantha Mumba almost out of all recognition.
