TN: 153 PORTER ROBINSON - PREVIEW 3 (Patreon)

Our latest episode with electronic producer and DJ Porter Robinson has been a massive hit so far! In the episode, our host John Kennedy sits down with Porter to discuss how he wrote and recorded his third album ‘SMILE! :D’ 

Having begun self-producing at just twelve years old, Porter Robinson has since risen to become one of the most acclaimed artists within the EDM world, collaborating with artists such as Skrillex and Tiësto. His work has seen him tour extensively around the world and has even earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording, back in 2019.

In this episode, Porter dials in from North Carolina to chat about how he came up with his signature synth sounds, some of his favourite gear, including giving a guitar demo, and drawing inspiration from Coldplay tracks. 

Tracks discussed: Cheerleader, Is There Really No Happiness?, Russian Roulette
