If Glory Makes You Happy, Why Are You So Broken Up?

On the Decks

10 tracks on the Porter Spins playlist this week highlighting the very best of his career from complextro to synth pop.

Porter Robinson – Say My Name (Radio Edit). Porter’s first major release put him on everyone’s radar, notably Skirllex who would go on to make Spitfire the first release on his newly-minted OWSLA label.
Porter Robinson – The State. When Spitfire dropped, it crashed Beatport’s servers. This is old school Porter, “a riveting concoction of electro, dubstep, and even moombahton.”
Porter Robinson – Language. Arguably one of the best drops in all of dance music, literally blew us away during Shelter tour.
Mat Zo, Porter Robinson – Easy. Tons of mutual respect between these two guys going back a lotta years. This track also shows Porter’s unique style taking shape.
Porter Robinson – Sad Machine. Worlds changed me, inspired me with new motivation and passion I was able to channel toward personal and professional growth in other aspects of my life. You could say this album made an impact…

Porter Robinson, Madeon – Shelter. My favorite song of all time and the first song Colin ever heard. #1 live performance of my life.
Porter Robinson – Get Your Wish. Light and melody-driven with rhythm from subtle syncopation. He’s baaaaaaack.

Virtual Self – Ghost Voices. Alternate psytrance persona turned Grammy nominee. “I felt like I won the moment it got nominated. That is a complete victory for the project in my mind.”
NERO – The Thrill (Porter Robinson Remix). With all the well-deserved credit for his original tracks, it’s easy to forget he came up in the scene as an EDM DJ.
Zedd – Clarity. Virtual Self was not Porter’s first brush with the Recording Academy, he helped write Zedd’s Grammy-winner back in 2012.
