Porter Robinson on moving away from big-room EDM, his thoughts on DJing and why he feels the future of electronic music is bright.
"I think that the reason I love soul samples is because of the Daft Punk Discovery album, which remains my favorite album of all time," explained Robinson to Radio.com. "So when I heard the same style of records in a hip-hop context I was really, really in love when I was younger.”

Porter likes flume, thats becuase they are both legends rather then being in it for the money!

First electronic album this year that hasn't bored me to tears. Really great work.

Porter is a legend tbh. I'm kind of glad that a lot of people don't obsess over him because his music isn't commercialized... it's his.

@08adamm 10 лет назад

Just listened to "Breathe" by Michelle Branch and fuckin loved it. Thanks for the reminder of that gem PR. I love you and have been replaying Worlds nonstop since it's release. It's the only electronic album of late that I've loved from start to finish.

respect! please continue to keep the feels alive in EDM especially if that's what is true to your heart. feels in my opinion is needed to make the best of the experience, but has become much less prominent in the music these days

@wizkid9404 10 лет назад

He is wise beyond his years. Good going Porter. Proud of you.... Saw you with Tiesto in Norfolk, VA. I was impressed with the chances you took

@SlimboTDS 8 лет назад

Mad respect to Porter, although I don't necessarily agree that everything should be generalized as one big buildup to a climax because there are a lot of emotionally captivating shows that buildup and climax. Looooove that he mentioned Wave Racer because that guy is a legend in the making. Very knowledgeable fellow!

Plus, Porter himself makes pretty sick buildups. Flicker and Language are good examples from his "modern style" stuff

@thomasjackson3582 9 лет назад

Watched a burning man hula video featuring Language and got hooked on the tune used... had to find out more. Very cool back story. Spot on re: pointless buildups and drops.

@cartyboy9423 9 лет назад

You're awesome Porter, stay humble and shit. Love your attitude, and I loved your set at Frequency. You truly changed the way I see music. I used to hate EDM and all that stuff, until my friends started bringing me to events, which were still meh. But when I saw you do a live set, you blew my fucking mind, and showed me that electronic music is more than just noise. You and Haywyre both.

@MauricioArevalo 8 лет назад

I think Porter's story is very interesting. I respect him a lot for the decisions he made and how he wants to stay true to himself. However, I kind of feel like he's generalizing all music with big energy and a "drum buildup" to be cheesy and unoriginal, which is really not true at all. There's some great artists out there that make great pumped up house tracks. But If you judge EDM from the Beatport Top 10 and music festivals then yeah, you'll find a load of bullshit. There was nothing wrong with his old music, and personally, I liked his older stuff way more. I loved his Electro House sound, and then Language came along. I don't really like his new sound, but still, he's a respectable guy.

@joshlee6445 8 лет назад

I feel this was Porter being polite and politically correct, instead of name dropping or bashing genres. But a lot of what he said was very true about the genre being limited and having to stay in a certain confine to be accepted or appreciate.

@joshlee6445 8 лет назад

I'm really impressed by this guy. His honesty and sincerity about and towards the electronic culture is a breath of fresh air. I've just recently heard some of his older dubstep stuff and honestly didn't care too much for it. It really puts to light the music he's been putting out lately, the complextro style he has really does feel sincere to his personality.

this whole time explaining what future bass has been tough and then you hear it described without naming it was kinda surreal.

***** i expected a childish reaction like that..listen to the last album from deadmau5 and u will understand.. i mean i love porters music and the album he did now but u can not hear as much pioneer work as in while 1 is less than 2 or random access memories..but yea maybe its the most beautiful one of the 3

@AlexGrtner 9 лет назад

Second Universe (While 1>2) is probably deadmau5' worst album though. [Album Title Goes Here], 4x4=12, Random Album Title... pretty much flawless.

@samwu1836 5 лет назад

Basically, this can be applied to humanity as a whole. Sure, everyone starts out working at McDonalds as a part timer, as a student, but eventually they'll have to do more and let the next generation do the same. I think artists have to 'graduate' from each phase of their career. Perhaps that's why musicians from Spinnin's golden age of big room are dying out! Acts like Jay Hardway, Moti, Quintino etc. are all shadows of their former selves...

@lawlsitsmatt 10 лет назад

I went to the Worlds show in LA and i can honestly say that it was the best rave/concert I have ever been to. Yes I know Porter's show isn't supposed to be a rave but Los Angeles couldn't help but get hyped as fuck.

@yomuing 5 лет назад

I’m really happy language worked well, because we most likely wouldn’t have got worlds without it working out well

@donaldkizer4109 10 лет назад

I like this guy. I support anyone who has the balls to stand up for what they believe in. I love #edmmusic but at the same time, you're an artist first. Artists HAVE to evolve themselves and the music that they do, or you might as well just take the same 5 tracks, sample them forever, and just get new people to sing over them. EDM's structure is very important and artist need to recognize this and not totally abandon the culture, but still, artists by nature are disobedient. If we weren't, there'd be no EDM.
