Portion Control is a british electronic and industrial band from South London.

One of the most famous obscure electronic music acts in the world Portion Control have been honoured and namechecked by the likes of Depeche Mode, Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, Orbital and The Prodigy (list far from exhaustive) and blatantly and unashamedly ripped off by many others. They orginally existed from 1980 to 1987 releasing a variety of seminal recordings on a variety of indie labels, some self-produced but mainly on Illuminated Records, as well as Rhythmic Records and Dead Mans Curve]. In 1987 Portion Control signed to London Records and promply vanished. They reformed a few years later as Solar Enemy which survived from 1990 to 1993 ro therabouts but Portion Control weren't seen again until 2002 when fansite announced a resumption of activities by the band resulting not long after in a free downloadable software demo featuring graphics and a rare remix of an old track, plus samplers of new material. This promise seemingly went unfullfilled until in early 2004 the release of the critically acclaimed and uncompromising double album Wellcome (the title inspired by the work of Sir Henry Wellcome).
