Porter Robinson Talks Everything Goes On, League of Legends, Getting Engaged & Second Sky Fest 

One of the things that I always love about Porter Robinson when he's doing interviews, is how well-spoken he is. I love how easy it is for him to articulate and convey meaning.

I met Porter in 2012 when Madeon came to KCMO. I was walking on the sidewalk after the show to meet Madeon with no idea Porter was there. This dude ahead me had a porter shirt on, so I tapped him on the back and said nice shirt. He asked if I’d seen Porter, and that Madeon shows aren’t as crazy as Potter’s shows. After I met Madeon, this guy walked away with him, and then it hit me that I had just met Porter without knowing who he was because his digital presence looks so different from how he actually exists irl. For the record, pre-knowing-it-was-Porter Porter was metaphysically chill and looked like some random physically healthy dude who might work at a mountain climbing place or a bike repair shop.

1:16:24 “Dont kill the part of you thats cringe, kill the part of you that cringes” holy shit 😦

I actually went to the virtual self tour not realizing it was his alias. I thought virtual self was another person and I'd see two sets. One by VS one by Porter. I learned once I was at the venue. The show blew me away. Didn't mind at all that not a single "Porter" track was played

Something about the way Porter conducts himself or what he talks about in his interviews/talk sessions like this really brings out the happiness in my heart and gives me tons of inspiration and hope for the future. Wack

i'm so stoked for this new Porter. Haven't seen you in a while friend. Welcome back.

I saw porter at red rocks in denver for nurture and it was the most insane experience, it felt like true bliss, so uplifting and beautiful. the love I have for him and his music is unconditional! seeing him at iii points in miami this october and i’m extremely excited

I love seeing how excited Porter would get at EVERY question!!

Fantastic interview! Good guy Porter

I cherish these such well prepared interviews with porter, which is already super rare alone, kudos

Hearing Porter talk about how he makes 100 ideas and keeps only 1 is so refreshing to hear as a producer myself. I want all my ideas to be great but unfortunately this is never the case. Btw great podcast! Just gained a sub 😊

I'm not a big EDM fan but I've always connected with Porter ever since my GF dragged me to a rave years ago. There's something so genuine and endearing about him. The vulnerability and wisdom he shows is infectious. I've never heard of this show but it's a great atmosphere, you can tell Porter feels comfortable just hanging out talking about what he loves. Great interview and discussion.

Okay wow I'm only 4 minutes into this interview, theyre talking about some super heavy stuff thats making me tear up at how beautifully Porter is putting it. This is the kind of guy I'd want to sit and talk about life with

Patiently waiting on a new Virtual Self album & tour 🥺🥺

i can relate with porter sm, it feels like talking to friends, love this.

THAT SNARE IMPRESSION OH MY LORD ITS SO GOOD

Beautiful man that makes beautiful music

this has to be the best podcast ive seen. all the words that porter had to say were so true and relatable to me as a young producer and life liver. thank you all for this video, i love you porter

Man I remember when I first heard Porter's Spitfire EP when Skrillex had just started OSWLA, we were roughly the same age and I thought to myself "Damn this kid is one of the greatest EDM artists I've ever heard and he's my age" and here we are. Been inspiring me ever since as a creative. Great to see him happier than ever.

A jon bellion and porter robinson collab would be soo legendary, my two favourite artists

This dude seems really fucking cool. Definitely cool to hear a musician who can articulate his thoughts so well.

I remember it was an awesome interview with Porter in Zack show last year! Let me grab my favourite tea, some chips cuz it's gonna be interesting ! Porter's always fun, relatable and even educational to watch.

One of the Porter's I love is how Robinson he is in these views. What a stage.

I saw porter in mexico, i was waiting for that moment since 2013 and his show is fucking insane

Incredible interview. Zach is amazing at connecting with his guests. Very insightful questions.

DJ POTARO IS CRYING ON THE BEAT

I also fear getting older and can’t accept that time just passes faster bc you’re older. 2021 passed in an instant, I feel like a year was stolen from me. I can tell it was abnormal since 2022 has felt like an entire year already. I don’t think the passing of time right now is normal, it’s surreal

I like that Dan gets to talk a lot more now. Because he never used to talk as much in the earlier interviews😅

Keep up the good music Porter Robinson, I love it! I still cry everytime I hear Shelter, because I heard it when my dog died (she was 14 and by my side day and and day out) and that song helped me know I'm not alone. She's always with me. Your music means the world to me!

Wow Porter is smart love his introspection …man I look up to him so much

love love loved this interview ! porter is so cool n the questions being asked were so immersive (‘:

Everything goes on is saving my life rn

This interview took me literally 5 hours to end, because I was checking everything Porter was talking about and it was all super interesting and I got lost lol

I love virtual self songs and trance stuff soooooo goddamn much

39:09 - 39:20 "I've been so aversed to brand tie-ups, I've said no to everything my whole life 'cause I'm like, 'People are just gonna sniff out that it's just like... it could be... wack'" This has me laughing my fucking ass off, what a beautiful statement

New album comingggg

1:07:17 - yo that shit was on point

Porter is such a beautiful human being 🥰

i love porter's view of the world and his music, great interview and great questions

OH MY GOSHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE THAT ZACH LOVES PORTER :,))))

Easily one of my favorite people

Porter is a genius, great interviewers. Perfect balance!

just got around to listening to this, porter is one of the most inspirational guy on this planet. thank you for doing this

damn the snare thing was so good

i really love love love the questions zach asks these artists so we can really get to know them on a different level than any other interview or bring people out who normally don’t do interviews!! thank you for this :)

I'm sure many people would LOVE to see Madeon on here! Please get him on so we can all nerd out together lol.

FYI Porter: your songs are amazing on their own (you are the goat in my mind) but they are insanely amazing when high.. especially your live show on edc 2022.. the lights and the music.. oh my god!!. wow.

Loved this interview, you guys were really prepared. Porter is one of my favorite music artists and I enjoy watching this kind of videos. Keep it up!

I love you so much Porter! I hope we get to collab one day 😊

This is a fantastic interview

can't wait to see hiim again at second sky this year!!!

Commenting before I watch for luck that Zach asks about Virtual Self

See yall at second sky

Yes Porter. U have saved my life with your music. Much love my aptitude friend ❤

Very cool + inspiring interview :) love porter

Great interview, love porters music and his perspectives

"Could I have a little bit more reverb on my face" is not a sentence I thought I would hear today.

1:06:38 Porter scrolls thru the snare samples in his sample library with his mouth

Loved listening to this, really interesting hearing the thoughts behind the music!

this was so special.

Love this interview a lot

would pay money for a porter mouth sounds snare pack

Heard Porter a long time ago on a stream from Club Mogra. Really amazing set a vibe along with Anime visuals.

Truly a great interview. Somehow very insightful

This is exactly how I imagined him lol. I love this dude's music.

I love him so much

I'd say if Porter makes a Potaro set for the beginning and have someone else in the suit, he wouldn't be drained for the other 2

I feel Porter with the look thing, I thought I was the only one lol

33:33 talks about the love of his life, Rika

Porter has some cool ways of thinking, which I would've assumed came from occasionally enjoying some of that lettuce, or other earthly goodies.

DJ Crying on the beat 💓

48:06 this is what he just did to us maybe?

I'm here because of that one clip of him doing the perfect snare sounds with his mouth

Ironically I ended up listening to both Nurture and Smile drunk 😂

porter punching a wall playing league....i love him sm

he has those little puppy dog ssri eyes i have such a big crush on him

1:05:00 1:07:17

HOW AM I JUST HEARING ABOUT VIRTUAL SELF B2B G JONES THAT IS MY DREAM COME TRUE WTF

13:38 this is so fire considering bladee was on second sky that year

i really be looking different sometimes i go thru this everyday i don’t kno what i look like either

🎵Love Porter R.🎧💌💌

åmâzzinggg interviewww ✨✨✨

1:07:51 - Never have I related so hard to anything in my entire life.

"maybe you'll be drained" oh yes i well w this lineup

The tea from Brazil containing DMT is a medicine that is very healing for all kinds of issues, highly recommended at least once in a lifetime, if only every person could do it the world would be a better place

Papa Porter!

I can relate to him wondering what you look like and how people look at you. Your not alone Porter lol

I remember a while back while Porter was playing Half Life Alyx and I was watching him stream (pretty sure back around the lockdown days) I asked, in the chat, if he had ever experimented with psychedelics and he honestly responded and said no and that he didn’t think those substances would be suitable to him. Kinda cool to see his curiosity has opened up a bit more! Porter if ur reading this I think a small dose (my personal preference being acid) as an introduction would be an enjoyable experience for you!!! It’s all about set & setting bb!!

I've just watched this whole thing I've got an essay due tomorrow what am I doing

PORTER OH MY GOD IM THE SAME EXACT WAY IDK WHAT I LOOK LIKE TO OTHER PEOPLE

1:05:00 what the heck how does someone even make that noise

yayy

1:12:23

💙

I’m waiting for that Demi Lovato interview!!

Porter is very attractive 😍 his fiancee is super lucky

!!!!!!!!!!

I now desperately wanna see Porter play Elden Ring and lose his shit when dying to a boss. I'm sorry but that would be hilarious.

Dudes an absolute savant

This is Nick Robinsons brother wth
