Listen to Porter Robinson’s genre-defiant Essential Mix
Porter Robinson made his Essential Mix debut 2-years ago, at the age of 19. Now 21, Porter could easily be mistook for an entirely different artist. A matured sound and a fresh take on his production guise, his forthcoming debut album Worlds is poised to mark a dramatic sea change in the North Carolina native's career. In line with his often vocal dismissal of the EDM movement, Porter's 2-hour addition to Pete Tong's iconic broadcast is rife with 16-bit trimmings, his own productions, and some truly genre-defiant selections. While most Essential Mix contributors stick to the familiar, Porter makes a concerted effort to show you just how deep the rabbit hole goes. At 72-tracks, there's more than just a few times you'll be scratching your head. And that's a good thing.
