{"title":"Porter Robinson","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Porter Robinson\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePorter Weaver Robinson was born in Atlanta, Georgia on July 15, 1992. He launched his recording career as a teenager in the early 2010s with electro house and complextro material. His 2014 album Worlds marked a creative pivot toward more melodic, vocal-driven electronic music with anime and J-pop influences - establishing him as one of the most distinctive contemporary electronic music producers. His 2021 follow-up Nurture - released seven years later amid Robinson's depression and creative struggles - featured direct vocal contributions from Robinson himself and addressed mental health themes. He founded the Second Sky Music Festival (annual since 2019, curated by Robinson with focus on contemporary electronic music). He has parallel work as Virtual Self (his 2017 trance\/electronic alter ego with cult audience). His 2024 album Smile!:D was his first as a pop-leaning project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePorter Robinson's sound combines electronic, future bass, electro house, complextro, dance, electropop, indie electronic, and J-pop influences with his distinctive vocal delivery, integration of anime, video game, and J-pop musical references, and varied compositional approaches across multiple genres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpitfire EP (2011, OWSLA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorlds (2014, Astralwerks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVirtual Self EP (2017, Virtual Self\/Astralwerks) - Virtual Self alter ego\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNurture (2021, Mom + Pop Music)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmile!:D (2024, Mom + Pop Music)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOWSLA, Astralwerks, and Mom + Pop Music pressings of the Porter Robinson catalog have been issued in multiple color variant editions and limited deluxe pressings, with collector demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere to start\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListeners new to Porter Robinson typically start with Worlds (2014) or Nurture (2021). \u003cspan class=\"related-collections\"\u003eExplore more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/electronic-vinyl-records\"\u003eElectronic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"porter-robinson-worlds-vinyl","title":"Worlds 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eDouble vinyl LP pressing of the 2014 modern dance music classic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48540959867063,"sku":"210000032916","price":32.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/2593612.jpg?v=1781154868"},{"product_id":"porter-robinson-smile-d-red-vinyl","title":"SMILE! :D LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt age 18, the North Carolina-based producer and songwriter burst onto the scene with a complex, bombastic brand of electro-house.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48541035659447,"sku":"210000100987","price":40.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/4463782-3461404.jpg?v=1781155167"},{"product_id":"porter-robinson-nurture-clear-vinyl","title":"Nurture 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe North Carolina EDM producer’s second album alternates between euphoric pop and muted ambient work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48541049290935,"sku":"210000059162","price":43.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/nurture.jpg?v=1781155216"},{"product_id":"porter-robinson-worlds-10th-anniv-pearl-vinyl","title":"Worlds 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eInspired by themes of fantasy, escapism, fiction, and nostalgia, Worlds continues to transport listeners to new realms a decade later.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48541056696503,"sku":"210000094614","price":45.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/98-ef071a23-34c3-41b3-9ab0-35d847eef415.webp?v=1781155243"},{"product_id":"porter-robinson-nurture-cd","title":"Nurture CD","description":"\u003cp\u003ePorter Robinson's \"Nurture\" on CD reflects a journey of hope and resilience, rooted in electronic music.
