Trance, jungle, progressive house, and the soundtracks of rhythm games are all earnestly brought together into Robinson’s sound design, while the project’s visual universe draws inspiration from cyberpunk animes, the ethereal atmospheres of Web 1.0 pages, and the maximalist digital art that found audiences on online forums and sites like DeviantArt. Looking back to his childhood, he’s created a love letter to the sounds and aesthetics of Y2K that have since fallen out of fashion. When big money started to enter EDM, the music became increasingly brain-melting and chest-beating, and the live shows became bigger, louder, and more impersonal Robinson, in response, released 2014’s Worlds, a debut album of misty-eyed, emotional electro pop.įor his latest project, Virtual Self, Robinson has once more found a totally new avenue to explore.

Robinson gave some context behind the line in a press release. However, Robinson officially embarked on his unforgettable Worlds tour four years ago and has decided to commemorate its anniversary with the “ Worlds Live Sketches Collection,” a new line of merchandise that includes sketches from the early stages of the tour’s live visuals. It’s been a while since fans have seen anything from the Porter Robinson project, as he’s been focused on his “technic-Utopia” side gig Virtual Self.
