Porter Robinson has been claimed to be, “EDM’s sensitive boy genius.” He has been at the forefront of the world of dance music by putting a twist on traditional EDM. Short after his debut, he made appearances in top-billed slots on festivals including Coachella, Tomorrowland, Creamfields and Lollapalooza.
He is best known for his song, “Sad Machine.”
Do yourself a favor and listen to it here:
Robinson has claimed to have a bit of writer’s block, so to inspire him again he began working on a project called “virtual self.” The Virtual Self EP dropped in November 2017 and drew inspiration from the ’90s and early 2000s trance. His vision was “rave nostalgia — one that’s viewed through the virtual lens of the internet and video game.”
He states:
He just released the video on February 28th, entitled, “Virtual Self – Ghost Voices.”

Upon first viewing, it is incredible that Porter Robinson was able to create this as a result of a creative block. It really does take you into a different reality where one feels like they are back in a chat room. The vision is perfectly executed and draws up feelings of being otherworldly. Porter Robinson is always taking EMD and putting another spin on it and I think this is really different from what he has done in the past, but it also works so well. He has expanded his taste and being one of the top dance music inventors right now, he is bound to influence other artists. I can’t wait to see more of his vision in the future.
