Porter Robinson

Robinson began producing at the age of 12 using Sony ACID Pro, emulating sounds he heard from video games, especially the Japanese Dance Dance Revolution. Robinson is listed as an Image-Line FL Studio Power User and primarily uses LennarDigital Sylenth1, Native Instruments Massive, 3xOsc, Sytrus and several other commercial and free audio plugins. He currently lives in his hometown of Charleston, South Carolina.

In the summer of 2011 he signed a one-EP deal with OWSLA, a new label operated by Skrillex, to release Spitfire. It reached the number one spot on the iTunes Dance chart as well as the number one spot on Beatport's overall release chart, even crashing Beatport's servers upon release.

Porter kicked off the 2013 festival season by playing the main stage of Ultra Music Festival. He is currently scheduled to play many more this year including Bonnaroo, Creamfields, Mystery Land, Electric Daisy Carnival (Orlando, Las Vegas, NYC, and London), Paradiso Festival, Wireless Festival, Global Gathering, Tomorrowland, TommorowWorld (in Atlanta), and Fuji Rock Festival. He also performed at X-Games Brazil. On August 3, he performed at Osheaga, Montreal. Porter's debut studio album Worlds will be released through Astralwerks in 2014.
