Unlikely doesn't even begin to describe Porter Robinson's rapid ascent
to the forefront of the world of dance music. Hailing from North
Carolina, 18-year-old Porter Robinson had never set foot in a club when
his smash hit "Say My Name" shot to number one on Beatport's
Electro-House chart, making people do just that on dancefloors and DJ
booths across the globe.
Complex yet catchy, and classic yet cutting
edge, Porter Robinson's instantly recognizable sound has earned him the
raving support of legendary producers such as Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk,
David Guetta, The Crystal Method and Armand Van Helden, and landed him
shows across the globe – all before he has even had the chance to finish
high school.
Some might call Porter a prodigy, but that label belies his musical
maturity and ignores his years of production experience, which reveal
themselves in the way he blends the best of seemingly distinct genres
into a style uniquely his own. His massive electro hooks paired with
nasty dubstep warbles and shimmering trance breakdowns transcend tired
genre adjectives like "progressive" or "fidget", taking listeners into
an uncharted territory of hard-hitting house music.
