Biokinetics is the first album by the electronic music duo of Thomas Köner and Andy Mellwig, under the name Porter Ricks. Issued in 1996, it was the first release on the Berlin-based Chain Reaction label. It is considered a classic within the dub techno genre.[7]

Background

The album is made up of both tracks written for the album and singles previously released on Chain Reaction (such as a 12" including the track 'Port Gentil') in the mid 1990s. The original CD was packaged in a metal box (a trend among Chain Reaction releases) which reportedly damaged the disc, while the 2012 reissue by Type Records utilized a more conventional jewel case packaging with complete cover art.
