Porter Robinson biography

Porter Robinson (born July 15th, 1992) is an American electronic musician and DJ from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He released his first studio record in August 2014.

Every now and then, you come across an artist who makes you feel like an underachiever, unambitious, or just plain lazy; given what he’s already achieved at the tender age of just twenty-two, you’d have to count Porter Robinson amongst that number. He kicked his career off at the age of just twelve, and his earlier work was heavily indebted to dance music that he was exposed to through his love of Japanese video games - Dance Dance Revolution being one particular example.

By 2012, he released a debut single, “Language”, that pretty much immediately garnered international attention; it was released outside of his native U.S. via the legendary Ministry of Sound, and was quickly picked up by Radio 1 in the UK, where it was added to their Essential Mix. His ever-growing stature in the dance world led to him being tapped for official remixes of songs by artists as internationally acclaimed as Deadmau5 and Avicii by 2013, and he rounded off a hugely successful summer the same year by playing some of the world’s biggest music festivals. August 2014 saw the release of his debut album, Worlds, which met with critical acclaim and cracked the top twenty in the U.S.

Above & Beyond biography

Above and Beyond is a British EDM group formed in London, UK in 2000. The trio consists of Jono Grant, Tony McGuiness, and Paavo Siljamäki.

Grant and Siljamäki were college buddies at the University of Westminster and formed the label Ajunabeats in the summer of 1999. The label produced music under the names “Dirt Devils,” “Free State,” and the label name “Ajunabeats.” The first single under Ajunabeats called “Volume One” garnered the attention of Warner Music Group’s Tony McGuiness. Together with Grant and Siljamäki, McGuiness decided to collaborate on a remix of Chakra’s song “Home.” Thus, Above and Beyond was born.

The group was fundamentally known to produce remixes of hit songs, notably “What It Feels Like For a Girl” by Madonna in 2001. At the time, they also worked with artists Adamski, Fragma, Delerium, and Japanese artist Ayumi Hamaski.

Following the collab with Hamaski, Above and Beyond was introduced to a huge audience in Tokyo in 2002 and their popularity expanded soon thereafter. Madonna commissioned the trio to remix another song “Nobody Knows Me.”

It was not until 2006 that the trio decided to release an album of original songs entitled “Tri-State” which shook up the EDM and trance music industry. They received much love and attention in the UK and from ULTRA festival site, Miami, FL. The single “Air For Life” was concluded to be Tune of the Year in 2005 by the radio show “State of Trance.” The following year “Good for Me” featuring Zoë Johnston was declared Tune of the Year for 2006. The song “Alone Tonight” with Richard Bedford won the best trance track of 2006 at the 22nd International Dance Music Awards in Miami.

On 6 June 2011 Above and Beyond’s sophomore album “Group Therapy” was released with vocals by Richard Bedford and Zoë Johnston. It reached #1on the iTunes Dance Album chart. The album contains both fast-paced trance and mellower rhythms. The hits “Thing Called Love” and “Sun and Moon” both featuring Bedford became favorites on the airwaves in the UK.

Above and Beyond hosts a weekly radio show called Group Therapy Radio, and celebrated their 100th episode in October 2014 at Madison Square Garden in New York, U.S. The name Above and Beyond comes from a poster by American motivational trainer Jono Grant’s motto “Above and Beyond.”

Live reviews

Recently, EDM has taken the U.S. by storm. Festivals and concerts are popping up everywhere, it’s played all over the radios and these once unknown DJs have become part of our music industry like any other well-known artist. All DJ sets seem to be compromised of a common formula: build up, drop, transition and repeat. Many of these DJs just take this mindset, play an intense set and call it a day. But there’s something special about Porter Robinson and when he’s performing you know it’s a Porter set. It oozes his personality, gives off his own flare and voice— and even if you don’t know much about Porter it’s like his set gives you a glimpse into his creative mind. Ultra Miami 2013, weekend two to be exact - that’s when I first saw him live. If you’ve either witnessed it in person or through the live stream, the Ultra Worldwide stage attracted tens of thousands of people in a space that was probably less than 200 feet long and wide. Not exactly ideal spectator conditions. I was sardined between the people around as I squirmed my way to the front because there was no way I wasn’t going to be front and center for my favorite artist of all time. When Porter came on, the crowd went wild as he played his classic tracks like “Unison” while throwing in some unique material ranging from 172bpm, techno and hardstyle—not your typical EDM set. And that’s what made it so amazing because no one saw it coming. He’s a risk taker and he plays what he believes in, not repeated mainstream music that’s been butchered over and over again. Mixed with his amazing video and light set that shined geometric patterns and beautiful digitally created landscaping like mountains and fields, everything about his set was Porter. The energy was incredible and I even forgot how little space I had as I slowly, but surely grooved my way to the front. Twenty minutes in, I made it. Porter just started playing “Easy” (feat. Mat Zo) and the crowd exploded in energy to his hit single. I shyly turned to this six-foot guy raging next to me asking if he could put me on his shoulders. He gladly obliged and as I rose, every other girl doing a double decker came down and in that moment, I was the only person seven feet above ten thousand people. I’m in tears trying to explain the absolute awe and adrenaline rush I experienced—no words to even describe the pure natural euphoria I felt as I looked to the front and see Porter jamming out as the chorus of “Easy” roles in and everyone including me was screaming the lyrics at the top of our lungs. Porter appropriately ended the emotional roller coaster that was his set with the famous “Language." That song says so little yet so much sentiment is given off by it and it just touches the soul. A perfect farewell song to a beautifully composed set.

Tony McGuinness, Paavo Siljamaki, and Jono Grant are three incredible human beings who have the talent to take music and turn it into an emotionally profound state of mind, a sense of everything beautiful, Above & Beyond leave their fans, their listeners, and their audience, a feeling of something way Beyond one I can begin to describe.
Above & Beyond does not create what you would think to be as just "electronic music", the group took their talents and their intelligence with instruments, singing, and their interests in electronic music to form something that really is Above & Beyond. The lyrics and melodies formed in a song promote one thing more than anything, love, pure love, the kind of love that stays with you over time. The group has the upmost capability, through what they do best, to completely transform ones outlook on life and the things around them.
Being given the chance to see them in March of 2013 was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. They did one thing that not all musicians do, they made a connection with the crowd before they started playing, a bond with the crowd as if we were their closest and dearest friends. As the show began and I felt the vibrations of the sounds, and the energy of nothing but happiness, I thought to myself, we are some incredibly lucky people to be able to be here right now. I never thought there was so much you could learn from a group of musicians, they make music but most importantly they leave an impact on hundreds of thousands around the world. As Tony McGuinness said in the midst of their experience doing "Above & Beyond Acoustic" (look up on youtube!), "we don't tend to just stick a bit of vocals over a track, that's not the way that we work" those words can give you an idea of the complexity and brilliance behind the group that really goes Above & Beyond.
