Porter Robinson

Porter Robinson is one of those rare producers who makes you feel something in a genre that often prioritizes the drop over actual emotion. Growing up in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and signing to OWSLA at just 18, he could have stayed in the comfortable lane of festival EDM — but then Worlds came out in 2014 and completely rewrote what electronic music was allowed to be: lush, melancholic, anime-influenced, genuinely tender. The guy wears his love of Japanese game and animation culture completely unironically, and somehow that sincerity is exactly what makes his music hit so hard. Nurture in 2021 doubled down on that emotional honesty, and his Second Sky festival feels like a deliberate rejection of everything hollow about the EDM era he technically came from. I find that kind of artistic integrity genuinely rare.
