[@PlasticKnight]

His progression is interesting to me

[@Ksix1]

I think Porter Robinson is a great example of doing something because you are good at it and doing something because you love it. His old music is great. I remember seeing about him during Tiestos club life tour. He had an interesting set but I wasnt really taken by it. During that mid 2000 era I remember everyone being all about dubstep and he sounded a lot like everyone else 🤔 Easy was the first track that got my attention and Shapherdess had me hooked. I'm glad that he evolved and found his sound. How many artists can you think of that did the same old stuff and aren't around any more? Lol

Worlds just gives me a feeling I can’t explain. Makes me wanna cry, but it’s not sad, but it’s not happy either. Any artist that can do that to people is a genius. Thank you, Porter Robinson.

[@jakebeej1669]

Noward543 wtf you put exactly what I’m feeling into words lol

[@kylesvideos59]

Exactly. I remember when porter released sea of voices on his soundcloud as a single and thinking to myself “WOW this is like, some next level emotional shit.” And then came sad machine followed by the album release. There’s not a single track on Worlds I don’t love. I can’t say that about any other album. I’m not looking for another worlds album In Porter because I know he isn’t the same Porter from 2014. I trust that this new album is going to grab ahold of me emotionally just like worlds did, just in a different way.

[@virginialax03]

I saw Porter at a festival in 2016 when he was playing his Worlds set. I had never heard of him but some friends wanted to see him so I tagged along. I was 100% sober and I swear I was tripping during his show. The music and visuals together had me standing there with my mouth wide open just starring into the video board, feeling like I was floating. Been a fan ever since

[@karlivanr]

You put exactly what I was feeling to the album... it was such a very emotional album

[@ItsM-px9sy]

It's S A P P Y

[@Jef_]

I've actually waited so long for this.. Porter is truly an artist with a very big evolution, bc he began with dubstep, then evolved into progressive house and complextro, and ended as someone who makes synthpop. he still has his own style and he putted very strong emotions in his tracks, something that a lot of artists just can't..

[@Livio_05]

FOUND YOU BITCH

[@RaveNationMusic]

Jef Kempenaers this video was super interesting to make because you can clearly tell the different phases he went through.

[@huma1000]

@@davidpicarazzi Language seems like it was first foray into music he actually wanted to make. His own style from the heart. He was anxious about releasing it, but it was a smash, so it basically greenlit Worlds for him i think. if you listen to his live sets from before 2014 there is all sorts of bleed in of his personal style but he'd only ever flirt with it haha.

[@mikeciro8091]

For ekowraith, he was mostly happy hardcore/ “hard dance”, for the spitfire ep it was electro with elements of dubstep “complextro” (check knife party), worlds is the one album that’s really hard to tie down to one genre, but I’d describe as a mix of synth pop and future bass. Virtual self was basically every dance genre under the sun besides dubstep, and well for his final album... I’d call it the some of best pop I’ve ever heard, although there are elements of breakbeat.

[@ifwwoozy]

2013 is when I discovered Porter, with his song Language. Then went out to absolutely ADORING his Worlds album. I always danced to it, it's crazy how he went to heavy dubstep to some electronic music with meaning towards it. He was a big part of my inspiration behind electronic music. Edit: I LOVED his new _nurture_ song! I hope this new album will do great.

[@harismusanovic6730]

I don't know about you guys, but when I listen to his progression, it literally has a story. I may be out of line to say this but it seems early on he wanted chase fame, he lost himself in the dubstep and a little part of his identity, and then in 2014 he had a rebirth where he became distinguished and "his own" producer. Once again I could be out of line since he isn't my taste of edm but it's just how the music made me feel.

[@luminaria227]

One of his latest songs, Get Your Wish, represents that.

[@markus3355]

Honestly, everything this man touches turns to gold. His original songs were clunky, but they're actually pretty good. He's been bending genres long before the hipsters got to it. Each of his songs are unique to themselves, and that's what makes a producer memorable. Mega excited for Nurture.

[@spacetoastjam7656]

It’s crazy how you can tell that Porter really did lose himself between Shelter and Get your wish as his Virtual self pieces reflect more his really early EDM pieces. You can tell that he thought that going back to his routes was the answer instead of further developing his style. Personally I’m thankful that he went down the path he’s on now as I and I think many others prefer it much more.

[@Azuraii]

yall are so wrong, virtual self and nurture are both great but virtual self is more emotive and inventive

[@Hi_Names_Nat]

I feel like Virtual Self was more an expectationless testground for porter to work on his production and theory? I love worl's but going back to it after nurture and VS you notice things. It's not that well mixed, nor is it that fantastically produced. Virtual Self was his way to practice before the real thing (Nurture)

Porter Robinson's Worlds changed me. Well, being on like 6 tabs of acid played an effect. But god was it seriously the best experience ever. True bliss.

[@Drift-Daddy]

Porter is truly a prodigy. He was already doing amazing things with his early music that most artists spend their entire careers hoping to get even just a small taste of. But when he released "Worlds"....shit man, NOBODY was ready. I don't even think he totally understood at the time the impact that album would have on not just the edm world, but on music in general. I doubt we'll ever see anything on the same level again. at least in this generation ha. Long live Porter.

Something comforting is one to add to this list, it barely came out but damn is it good. Give it a listen 👌

Vandalism was my first song of him. Didn't even know it was made by Porter until years later. Saw him live for the first time at SnowGlobe, Lake Tahoe, NV, US and I didn't even know that was him too!

the big milestones in porter's career as songs i think are as follows: ekowraith - booming track: this was really his first release to have fairly noticeable success and the first big impact on his name as a producer porter robinson - say my name: one of his earliest "complextro" hits and the first large success under his own name porter robinson - language: the transition into more EDM styles of songwriting and progression, starting to leave the "dance floor" aspect of his music behind porter robinson - (all songs from Worlds): his first full length album saw him lean out of the EDM style (while maintaining elements of EDM) and add much more emotional complexity and depth to his work. porter robinson - shelter: this is where he starts to produce music in the way he does nowadays, as well as being his largest song atm of writing this. he even got the MV done my A-1 pictures and premiered in Shibuya! virtual self - ghost voices: although the whole EP was a milestone, ghost voices was his first and only grammy nod as the time of writing this. the virtual self live tours put on a lightshow of no other caliber. porter robinson - nurture: this marks his most pop-driven, emotional, and intricate songwriting yet. he dives headfirst into embracing his vocal power and takes on more traditional songwriting structures in favor of the 4-on-the-floor style of many "worlds" songs. most would argue this is his best work to date.

I wholeheartedly agree to your statements. As much as his early productions were focused more on party songs, the ones after language are more on the storytelling side, which makes me emotional every time I listen to them.

I didn't even know Porter made music in 2006-2008.

Man really went from "Party go brrr" to "Hey, feel sadness."
