Porter Robinson destroying a full crowd on the S4 Posted on: 27.02.2012 by Rosalie Novarro just good to see the big guns using new gear out there and pushing the "pioneer only" mentality away a bit... this was in Oakland this weekend
Ok Moroski 09.03.2012	Originally Posted by backtothefront Agree, his recent live Essential Mix; awful IMO, a real turn off for me. But some peeps like him, c'est la vie. As an aside, I see Skrillex headlining SW4 - and there was me believeing of going, believe I'll keep the
Larraine Hannum 20.03.2012	Originally Posted by Xonetacular I couldn't disagree more. Wobbley aggressive dubstep is about the easiest stuff to produce and the amount of awful brostep is absolutely absurd, 5 minutes on soundcloud makes this pretty clear. Nuff said.
Ricki Markman 20.03.2012	Originally Posted by MrPopinjay Big loud noise with pre made synth patches, very simple drum beats and little music theory? Easy. Subtler sounds and complex melodies and drum lines all creating a thick atmosphere? Hard. I disagree, atmosphere and complex melodies are the easiest things to write as they're usually taken straight out of an instructional manual (music theory). Complex melodies are impressive when they're played on organic instruments, which is why I have so much respect for jazz fusion and progressive musicians, but take those same melodies and program them into a synth? You're left with something a high school theory student could program after a couple weeks. Whats more challenging and interesting to me is inventing new and crazy sounds that go beyond what most potheads end up with when they discover the function of an lfo. Excitement and happiness are far more challenging emotions to evoke in people than relaxation, sadness...whatever traditional dub fans listen to it for.
Romelia Stankard 08.03.2012	Originally Posted by attila I didn't say it wasn't pretentious, I just said I agree with his opinion. I dont believe your analogy really holds too much weight especially since porter has said many times that his goal is to make the most energetic and aggressive music he can. So his focus on loudness and effects is just as deliberate as space odysseys focus on atmosphere/story. I just personally believe from my production experience that brostep is more challenging genre to make and a lot of the songs within it reflect the abilities of the producer more effectively.

Ricki Markman 09.03.2012	Originally Posted by MrPopinjay I could not possibly disagree with you more here. Oh well. This is silly. Let's drop it Agreed man, its ridiculous to try to argue when we both have pretty solid opinions haha. Good game.

Roseline Canright 22.03.2012	still s4. I saw him live last sunday. I was front row and saw the guy bring the laptop and s4 for soundcheck and setup. Yes... HE KILLED IT! one of the best performances by anyone also saw A-TRAK a few hours b4 porter kill it on a bunch of turntables. it was a damn good sunday
Genesis Cayetano 22.03.2012	In the picture on the first page you can see the pioneer remixstation on the left. Wondering how he's using it.
Jaleesa Zheng 21.03.2012	Im learning more and more everyday about this porter robinson. Good music so far.
Tennie Dornburg 20.03.2012	hmm so with that new remix station video from pioneer. I wonder if he moved on from the s4 to a pioneer setup?

Erich Vallabhaneni 20.03.2012	just wahted to post this since its a good vid where you can see he's using an S4 and a Midi-Fighter

Basil Forshee 09.03.2012	LOL, you're totally right here. 2001: A Space Odyssey is so beautiful, even for the time made. Even though it doesn't tell a hero almost dies but eventually kills the enemy-movie, it's cinema at its best. Dawn of Man, just beautiful...
Chuck Intravia 08.03.2012	I do understand what he's trying to say, some stuff's just wrong though. It's not correct to say that as a producer, especially at his level of fame. Oh well..

Kiyoko Wellisch 08.03.2012	I'm pretty damn sure that brostep came from UK dubstep... And you're saying the production value of brostep is higher than that of deep dubstep on average...? For real? Come on man, all the kids are excited by filthy brostep and are trying their hand at making it. I'm not saying that's bad, it's wicked people are into their music but it does mean there's an entire ocean of "filthy dubstep remixes" out there that are nothing more than some pirated massive patches laid over any old singer songwriters latest pop hit. But like I said before- it does not matter one iota. Anyone who makes comments like that about any scene regardless of it's quality is a massive prick.
Ricki Markman 08.03.2012	UK dubstep hasn't taken the world by storm, brostep has. And I guess by world we're referring to north America, parts of Europe and Brazil haha. But seriously, the level of sub par dubstep producers is far higher than the amount of brostep producers. It makes sense, brostep is a far less accessible genre to create all around.
Kiyoko Wellisch 08.03.2012	And even if that wasn't the case, anyone who goes around bashing other people's music like that is a prick.
Romelia Stankard 08.03.2012	Originally Posted by attila Of course not, but when you called him a prick I assumed it was in reference to him calling UK dubstep uninteresting with c grade production. You don't believe that is a pretentious statement? C-grade production, really? The focus of Porter's music is entirely on mixing, fx, and loudness and there is little focus on original musicality or arrangement. That's like saying Transformers 2 was a phenomenal film because there was a lot of cool special fx and explosions and 2001: A Space odyssey was a C-grade production because it was slow and deliberate.
Kiyoko Wellisch 08.03.2012	That also makes him a prick. And entire genre has grade C production? A genre that has taken the world by storm has is so popular it has become a form of pop music? Yeah man, all of them piss poor producers.
Ricki Markman 08.03.2012	Of course not, but when you called him a prick I assumed it was in reference to him calling UK dubstep uninteresting with c grade production.
Kiyoko Wellisch 08.03.2012	Mostly true? You seriously believe there is a genre of music less than a decade old that you believe has been explored in every single creative way possible? Seriously?
Ricki Markman 08.03.2012	Yeah...damn him for sharing his opinion which is mostly true.
Kiyoko Wellisch 02.03.2012	Originally Posted by Xonetacular He's a pretentious cock Wow. What a prick.
Sarai Suchman 02.03.2012	Originally Posted by Xonetacular Porter's DJ sets are cool if you enjoy listening to tracks for 20 seconds and cutting from drop to drop. Saw him at a festival, when you only mix drops of bangers and the set starts at a 10 energy level and stays there the entire time then it has no where to go and everything blends together and loses meaning- there's no journey and it turns into just noise. Thats his style and people rock to it. The set I saw at frequency wasnt like that at all...there wasnt any real downtime but hell when you play from 4:30-6am you cant really have a mellow set. You do have to realize that Porter is a Producer first and a DJ second...and hes only 18 years old...he doesnt have the YEARS of wisdom like some other people...For what he does and how old he is...he fucking rocks it. If people want to hate on a DJ...at least pick one that is totally illegitmate...like Pauly D
Sherri Klepzig 02.03.2012	Blurry screenshot but is that the new traktor he is using? The sampledecks look different to me? by new I mean 2.5 could just be a blurry pic though.
Logan Lassey 02.03.2012	brostep I try to be open minded about all types of music and never be judgemental of what other people are into... but I have to say I really hate this crap.
Cliff Lohman 02.03.2012	Where did this term brostep come from? Most ridic name for a genre ive ever heard.. R ppl serious when they refer to it or is it a term poking fun at dubstep?
Romelia Stankard 02.03.2012	Originally Posted by Paco Loco I'm not into his music or this scene at all, but he seems like a cool genuine guy in a world mainly populated by total douchebags. Good on him and good luck to him. He's a pretentious cock Originally Posted by backtothefront Agree, his recent live Essential Mix; awful IMO, a real turn off for me. But some peeps like him, c'est la vie. There was a time not too long ago when I didn't know any better and would have looked up to him and thought he was a great DJ, but I used to be pretty tasteless. That's cool he uses an S4, it's too bad he can't actually mix with it- and it has nothing to do with the music he plays since I really enjoy a lot of electro in the hands of a skilled DJ.
Erich Vallabhaneni 02.03.2012	yeah him and Zedd got it lucky being so young and be living the dream. I wonder what setup Zedd uses. But it is good to see porter using the S4

Geri Jarra 01.03.2012	Originally Posted by Devour Oh how my little town of IV rocked out that evening ... Was one of the most epic parties. must have been at least 100 kids in that backyard... Porter as always killed it you're so lucky to experience that. I'm impressed to see he only uses the S4. It gives him that On-the-Go style, and Im sure he knows it like the back of his hand
