Portecho
Portecho, sevenload’s new music channel show, consists of Tan Tunçag and Deniz Cuylan. “Portecho” interpret dance music in their own way by uniting electronica with rock. In “Undertone”, electronic rhythm sections and hypnotizing English vocals are intertwined with warm guitar melodies. With a touch of the 80’s,”Portecho”, give the audience an album way beyond boundaries.
Tan Tunçag and Deniz Cuylan got together in 2005 to form “Portecho“. By the end of the year they signed to Elec-Trip Records, and prepared / recorded their first album with producer Oguz Kaplangi. The group’s fans doubled in number during a performance they had at the Rock’n Coke Festival in September 2006. The band is currently performing in various venues in Turkey.

Omega Navigation
For quite some time now, we’ve had the features “More Photos” and “More Videos” available to our users. This preview/overview can be used to select other/new photos and videos from your own content as well as that of others.
Why did we decide to incorporate this feature?- Frankly, we felt that having users simply “click through” to other photos and videos was not the best solution. So we decided to do something about it and offer all of you something new.
Today we released the new “Omega Navigation”- which offers you a new way to discover content on sevenload. As you can tell from the screenshot, this feature design was inspired by the omega symbol (and created by our technical team leader, Tom).
We hope you enjoy this new feature!
