PSA: I know the crowd might seem mellow in the video. But as someone who was there to see Virtual Self live, like myself, I can 100% say that the crowd loved every minute of it. You’re more of in a trance during the show rather than jumping and head banging the whole time. I loved every minute of this show even when recording the whole thing. Everyone was in awe. If you get the chance, go see it live to experience what my friends I had :)
It always upsets me when people complain about "the crowd being lame"....have you ever seen one tripping or rolling while at something as epic as this?! There's a damn good chance they're not moving bc they're having such an amazing time just trying to comprehend everything. This stage is insane. I could be caught just spinning circles looking at all the lights. Could be caught with my eyes closed hands in the air. Everyone enjoys music differently. =]
^what he said. There are definitely rolly polies and candyflippers in the crowd having the time of their lives and they're probably just standing slack-jawed.
I was old enough to attend raves but I didn't know about virtual self or porter yet, I wish I could go back in time and be here. to live in this moment would be the greatest feeling ever, I don't think anything would compare to being able to witness this one hour of absolute art.
Dude going hard!! Anyone whos been listening to electronic music for over 10 years from djs all over the world can appreciate this. Hes throwing old sounds but is able to modernize it. Amazing stuff.
I can't imagine what this must've been like live. I have never seen anything like this. Porter is a genius, he really is. This is so fresh, it's literally like he pulled this out of the future. and art is supposed to speak to people...this is so far ahead of its time that I dont think we even have the language to to describe it. truly revolutionary. I wonder what he will do next...
Both of you are right, i grew up raving in warehouses in pdx then made my way to festivals and porter allowed me to relive the glory days of the warehouses while experiencing something completely new, very much so ahead of its time. We are lucky to have experienced this timeline
@ 49:44 LOL at the guy saying "WTF" He thought he was going to see a Technic Angel reveal. This set was sick and my favorite part might be right here. The remix for this was sick, the light show was one of the best I've seen at EDC.
bluex610 it could have been better or even THE BEST if porter use his live stage,as usual porter and his team were like being adapt for a music festival stage,you see that the lighting sometimes miss the beats or etc.i dont know if this true,just my opinion.i just feel that way hehe
After a decade of listening to EDM I thought that nothing can surprise and amaze me anymore, and then I come across this!!! There is so much talent and passion in this music OMG! Love it so much! This is like the mixture of all the best sound from the past 20 years all in one set!
saw Porter on his Worlds tour and can't wait to see him do his Virtual Self sets. You can't deny that this guys sets don't take you on a musical journey, it's an experience from start to finish
It's awesome because its such a niche group of fans that could ID the DDR songs he slips in there. The influence of musical styles from Bemani games is so apparent through all his original music as well as his live sets. Seriously the best shit ever.
I loved looking around and watching everyone as they forgot how to dance and could only stand and watch in complete awe. Being mind blown and enjoying a whole crowd of people being mind blown along with you is the most wonderful and unifying experience :)
The fomo hit exceptionally hard when my friend sent me a clip of this set. Only set I'm upset about missing the whole weekend. So thank you sir for the upload, we are not worthy!
Ok after listening to this two times (I listened to other Virtual Self like 5 times before but this one changes a bit), I can confirm that Porter is a GOAT. Imo he doesnt get the recognition he deserves. Top 3 best producers EVER. He can make a banger of every single genre.
Is this real life?! I was losing hope. I thought this is the end, no more awesome old school trance for me. To whoever brought this up - I thank you , and many thanks to the uploader!
I wholeheartedly remember this set and what it made me feel. This is by far one of the best sets I’ve EVER seen. THANK YOU for recording this whole set 🙏🏼
I rarely comment on youtube at all but this set was actually insane, porter has done a fantastic job reviving classic trance. We can only hope for a European tour now !
What an absolute pleasure it must be to see him live. I am loving this new side of Porter, I miss Worlds but this is beautiful. I hope I can see him as VS soon!
I got to first see Porter after years of waiting on NYE weekend, and I got to see him two nights in a row. I’m going to VS next month during Grammy weekend and I’m beyond stoked. Best 2 months of experiencing music I think I’ll ever have.
Hearing ghost voices during this set at my first edclv was just everything. chills EVERYWHERE on my body. I love that feeling. Thank you for this video!!
To appreciate those lasers, lights and production, you really had to be more middle or even back. IT WAS INSANE!!! HOLY SHIT!! Best set of the weekend, Porter Robinson is just on a whole other level with Virtual Self
HOLY shit this set is amazing! Super fucking cool watching a DJ play literally whatever music HE wants to play and see it be so well received. Very excited to see where Porter goes with Virtual Self
I saw him at buku! The reasoning behind why no one is dancing is because no one knows what to do lol seriously everyone was just jaw dropped when i saw him
Instant chills and flashbacks from my mid teens. A lot of these tracks will be remembered til. I die. Porter Robinson I never got down to u to much until now.
I wish I could thank you enough for this. I have never in my life been happier than at this moment and you captured it all! Every time I watch this, I feel like I'm there all over again! Thank you so much!!! ✨😭💗🙏🏻
The new stage design for circuit grounds was perfect for Porter. I showed up at the peak of my candyflip completely lost.. I had no idea what I was looking at but it was beautiful. And his set sent me to another universe... this was the highlight of my weekend no doubt
that song is definitely up there with Abyss-The Heavens Remix- for me...i miss going to arcades and playing DDR, they're non-existent around here nowadays, shame...
Theofratos Not exactly Trance tbh. First part he plays some Trance but at the second oart he plays more Hardcore tracks. However, it could be insane to have him in ASOT.
Deadmau5 for ASOT750 Miami wasn't trance, but it fit right in with Eric Prydz in the lineup. Could go down rather well for ASOT900, especially if they stick him into later parts of a lineup.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! If you're ever in London I will buy you a beer for positing this. Incredible set and it gives me goosebumps watching it back. So lucky to have been there. Safe bruddah
Thanks for uploading his entire set!! Got hit with so much feels and was probably the only set out of all 3 nights I stayed the entirety for. Much love to you for allowing those of us who were there to re-experience it and for people who weren't able to attend to enjoy the kick ass set he put on!
Best set of the weekend by far. I honestly think I would choose to see VS over PR if given the chance, though maybe it's because I've seen Porter close to 20 times now.
Man this was my fave show of the weekend. I dont kno about you guys but my take away from this Virtual Self is that identity of Virtual self is an AI program that makes music. Its taken all the basic elements of electronic music like trance and house and makes music (really its porter). CALL ME CRAZY but thats the take away i got. I love porters geniusness and how he is able to reinvent himself.
I don't know about the rest of yall that were there but as soon as the 2nd drop of EON Break hit, my eyes just burst into tears from how amazing everything was. I was bawling like a bitch watching all the lights and fireworks going crazy and I aint ashamed at all.
I didn't catch this set and was at Kaskade at Kinetic Field during the time Virtual Robinson was performing his set at Circuit Grounds, it just turned my birthday when they started. Kaskade's set was fire as always, he did another secret set on the Parliament Art Car later that night/morning and played his Sunrise set.
THANK YOU.
Proximity Yea this is an awesome set!
OMG 😱🔥
Oh hey! Sickest production of the weekend by far
✋✋✋
Virtual self is bringing back old school trance and that is the coolest thing ever
Very well
"m y n e c k f e e l s s o r e l a x e d"
What was the time stamp for this??
yfi62dortoh 18:52
This set made me feel things I've never felt before.
It's probably the amazing classic trance he threw in there ♡
PSA: I know the crowd might seem mellow in the video. But as someone who was there to see Virtual Self live, like myself, I can 100% say that the crowd loved every minute of it. You’re more of in a trance during the show rather than jumping and head banging the whole time. I loved every minute of this show even when recording the whole thing. Everyone was in awe.

Bryan Cruz my friends and I were over on the far ride side dancing our asses off. So much room over there. Castles in the Sky is my shiiiit.
Sad i got tomorrowland ticket for w1 but Virtual self is going to be there w2 "bitter sweet "
It always upsets me when people complain about "the crowd being lame"....have you ever seen one tripping or rolling while at something as epic as this?! There's a damn good chance they're not moving bc they're having such an amazing time just trying to comprehend everything. This stage is insane.

^what he said.
There are definitely rolly polies and candyflippers in the crowd having the time of their lives and they're probably just standing slack-jawed.
Hey can you email or send me this video please i was there and i cant stop rewatching this please and thanks
Bruh rewatching this set 3 years later and it’s still probably my favorite set I’ve seen
I was old enough to attend raves but I didn't know about virtual self or porter yet, I wish I could go back in time and be here. to live in this moment would be the greatest feeling ever, I don't think anything would compare to being able to witness this one hour of absolute art.

This is what raves were like back when trance was exactly that, a trance.
Both of you are right, i grew up raving in warehouses in pdx then made my way to festivals and porter allowed me to relive the glory days of the warehouses while experiencing something completely new, very much so ahead of its time. We are lucky to have experienced this timeline
This is one of the best and most memorable sets I've ever had the pleasure of seeing live. Wish he would tour as Virtual Self again.
I don't think half this crowd realized the greatness they just witnessed...
Oh trust.... we did 🥴🥴😵
@ 49:44 LOL at the guy saying "WTF" He thought he was going to see a Technic Angel reveal. This set was sick and my favorite part might be right here. The remix for this was sick, the light show was one of the best I've seen at EDC.

Angel Voices (Early ver.)
Oahh! What a....😅
After a decade of listening to EDM I thought that nothing can surprise and amaze me anymore, and then I come across this!!! There is so much talent and passion in this music OMG! Love it so much! This is like the mixture of all the best sound from the past 20 years all in one set!
saw Porter on his Worlds tour and can't wait to see him do his Virtual Self sets. You can't deny that this guys sets don't take you on a musical journey, it's an experience from start to finish
Virtual Self's style is like Trance+DDR it's great
Yes!!!
It's awesome because its such a niche group of fans that could ID the DDR songs he slips in there. The influence of musical styles from Bemani games is so apparent through all his original music as well as his live sets. Seriously the best shit ever.
I loved looking around and watching everyone as they forgot how to dance and could only stand and watch in complete awe. Being mind blown and enjoying a whole crowd of people being mind blown along with you is the most wonderful and unifying experience :)
LOL @ 18:37 "So I met these girls. . . And now my neck feels so relaxed"
Lmao something about lipstick that makes you feel all tingly or some shit. I heard that shit too
Dude like even during Ayla like wft 😂 whyyy
It was the couple to the right of us. They were on one.
Albert C Vic rub brah
lmfao... tight bro
MY G!!!
SnewJ SNEWJ!!!!!
It's good to see that he got such a stronger stage presence than his 20 minute UMF set. The visuals look amazing here.
Xele / Geenjay he played a full set at Ultra. The livestream just didn’t show all of it
Oh that would be why. Thank you
1:08:00, "Thank you for being such good friends" is the go-to line when in that loving-roll 😂
The fomo hit exceptionally hard when my friend sent me a clip of this set. Only set I'm upset about missing the whole weekend. So thank you sir for the upload, we are not worthy!
Thank you for doing this for all of us at home who really wanted to see Porter's Virtual Self!!!
I feel like its hard for the edc crowd to really completely appreciate this set. I hope I can see it once not at a festival.
well he goin on tour now. i'm catching him in sept with my festie bestie
Dude this is really good for a phone video. Really good for a crowd video in general. Hell of a set
I used a go pro 5. 👍🏻
Ok after listening to this two times (I listened to other Virtual Self like 5 times before but this one changes a bit), I can confirm that Porter is a GOAT. Imo he doesnt get the recognition he deserves. Top 3 best producers EVER. He can make a banger of every single genre.
HAHAHAHA fucking true my friend
Diego Artazcoz Very fucking true man. He is a legitimate musician.
? i feel like he gets pretty good recognition.
Mewzyc Imo he deserves even more. He gets recognition but he should be considered the best or top 3 best producers out there.
...What is a GOAT?
Is this real life?! I was losing hope. I thought this is the end, no more awesome old school trance for me. To whoever brought this up - I thank you , and many thanks to the uploader!
IS A MASTERPIECE OF SET. THIS IS THE BEST SET IN EDC VEGAS 2018
Damn new ghost voices remix by technic angel was lit!
I wholeheartedly remember this set and what it made me feel. This is by far one of the best sets I’ve EVER seen. THANK YOU for recording this whole set 🙏🏼
I rarely comment on youtube at all but this set was actually insane, porter has done a fantastic job reviving classic trance. We can only hope for a European tour now !
What an absolute pleasure it must be to see him live. I am loving this new side of Porter, I miss Worlds but this is beautiful. I hope I can see him as VS soon!
I got to first see Porter after years of waiting on NYE weekend, and I got to see him two nights in a row. I’m going to VS next month during Grammy weekend and I’m beyond stoked. Best 2 months of experiencing music I think I’ll ever have.
I was there, serving alcohol. Shit was crazy.
I was there, probably buying alcohol from you.
why do I somehow expect people rather drink water there
Hearing ghost voices during this set at my first edclv was just everything. chills EVERYWHERE on my body. I love that feeling. Thank you for this video!!
First upload of EDC, that I am watching and I love it so far.
Thanks man.
At 30:08 it's a clip from an anime called Serial Experiments Lain. Which has to do with virtual/cyber reality! What a cool touch!
The entire album/concept was based on that anime according to porter.
Even mixed the opening xD
thank you for this. i love virtual dystopia type things so its nice to finally have something to sink my teeth into again.
Neckbeard
I quit my 100k job to go to edc. Being there to witness this made it all worth it despite having seen him at umf. This one was simply magical.
ajacques03 experiences worth taking
ajacques03 no one cares about your shit job
Clos R lol mad cause ur poor haha
To appreciate those lasers, lights and production, you really had to be more middle or even back. IT WAS INSANE!!! HOLY SHIT!! Best set of the weekend, Porter Robinson is just on a whole other level with Virtual Self
Omfg ty kind human i recorded this on my phone and lost it the same night!! The memories and this set was off the hook
The fact that he managed to mix Current Value into his set was genius!!
Such an amazing experience this was!! I'm so happy I got to see this live!! One of the best sets next to Zeds Dead!!
Can't wait to experience this musical mastery at creamfields this year.
who else cried
🙋
Me to👍
Watching this shit from the other side of EDC was insane the lasers were going crazy like a futuristic battle was happening aliens and shut
HOLY shit this set is amazing! Super fucking cool watching a DJ play literally whatever music HE wants to play and see it be so well received. Very excited to see where Porter goes with Virtual Self
I saw him at buku! The reasoning behind why no one is dancing is because no one knows what to do lol seriously everyone was just jaw dropped when i saw him
Austin Nelson dude forreal!
For a lot, its their first time hearing what trance used to be. Fucking amazing.
Still one of the best sets I have ever seen live
Instant chills and flashbacks from my mid teens. A lot of these tracks will be remembered til. I die. Porter Robinson I never got down to u to much until now.
I was at the front, and I have to say... this was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Just watching this is making me tear up
That technic_angel remix of Ghost Voices was INSANE. Is Porter even from Earth???
2 years later and I confirm that he...
Is a Angel
@17:26 So deep! These DDR songs in his sets are gems!
Dude thank you for this! I am seeing him as Virtual Self for the first time at Hard Summer and this got me so pumped for it!
Bout to hit the peak of my trip. Get ready. Endless vault of time...
this was my first set for EDC and the best set , ever like I couldn't do nothing but stare in awe the video does no justice
Mad respect for uploading this.
I wish I could thank you enough for this. I have never in my life been happier than at this moment and you captured it all! Every time I watch this, I feel like I'm there all over again! Thank you so much!!! ✨😭💗🙏🏻
Loved that he dropped so many classics during this set, maybe this crowd is too young to recognize them
The new stage design for circuit grounds was perfect for Porter.
I showed up at the peak of my candyflip completely lost.. I had no idea what I was looking at but it was beautiful. And his set sent me to another universe... this was the highlight of my weekend no doubt
IT WAS SO AMAZING ❤️😭😭😭
i can't believe he has an edit to quasar....then again i'm not surprised...PHENOMENAL set
Brian Griffin I mean one of my favorite Beatmania IIDX song.
that song is definitely up there with Abyss-The Heavens Remix- for me...i miss going to arcades and playing DDR, they're non-existent around here nowadays, shame...
Yo, shout out to the stamina of this dude keeping the camera up the whole time. HE KEPT HIS MOTHERFUCKING HANDS UP. HANDS UP. Untz Untz Untz
I just found out about porter a couple weeks ago and I am SO into this.
Really loved to see you turn and show your group. This was my first EDC and the vibes were the most important part
Thank you for posting Bryan... this set is amazing. Loving Virtual Self. You did great recording too.
I believe this is virtual selfs first live set. Historic af.
This et is dope. Hope to see Porter one day live. I get chills every time Partical Arts plays.
Check my Lollapalooza video in my channel of porter live.
Please let me go back to this night and this set.....
Porter Robinson is coming to my state in 2 days. I cant go though. he'll literally be 30 mins from me. talk about real pain
Virtual Self for ASOT 900 !
Theofratos Not exactly Trance tbh. First part he plays some Trance but at the second oart he plays more Hardcore tracks. However, it could be insane to have him in ASOT.
Deadmau5 for ASOT750 Miami wasn't trance, but it fit right in with Eric Prydz in the lineup. Could go down rather well for ASOT900, especially if they stick him into later parts of a lineup.
ARMIN YOU SEE THIS?
F*** deadmau5.... Virtual self for asot!!!
^We could get the first ever PATHSELECTOR set for ASOT 900!
Damn master of all genres.
I love that he put so many old school DDR tracks in this mix! :D
Wasn't able to go to EDC this year, so thanks for uploading:)
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! If you're ever in London I will buy you a beer for positing this. Incredible set and it gives me goosebumps watching it back. So lucky to have been there. Safe bruddah
Thanks for capturing this moment man! Nostalgic AF to my old school raver days! He did not disappoint!
I also left this set early to see San Holo so double thanks for recordin and uploading this!
Damn i would totally be getting to shuffling to this 👌🏼 so so good the production everything
I met up with cid at the beginning of the set and it was amazing the visuals were so intense.
Full set, great audio and great position. My man, you da real MVP.
Thanks for uploading his entire set!! Got hit with so much feels and was probably the only set out of all 3 nights I stayed the entirety for. Much love to you for allowing those of us who were there to re-experience it and for people who weren't able to attend to enjoy the kick ass set he put on!
kind of sad i left during the middle of this set, was so much better than i remembered :(
Best set of the weekend by far. I honestly think I would choose to see VS over PR if given the chance, though maybe it's because I've seen Porter close to 20 times now.
Just noticed he dropped his edit of the best Drum 'n Bass banger ever: Tech Itch and Kemal's The Calling. Definitely a fan now.
This set is almost perfect
So happy for this. I had the time of my life with his set. So fucking ethereal and amazing.
Thanks for uploading this.. I was there... I just grabbed the tracks from amazon... I didn't know Porter changed his name until a month ago
Sleeping Elephant He didn'd change it. Is just a temporal alias.
Love the edit of Nostalgia by Gammer, fits so well with the virtual self sound!
So thankful I caught his set at Bonnaroo last year
49:30 dudeeee wtf!!! just.. wtf is that. i can't believe he make that
he is god
so epic, that must be a one of the best highlight for those who attended
Christian Ødegaard are you related to Jorgen???
Please never delete this video!
Damn. So beautiful. It made me cry.
My favorite set this year!!!
Thanks for uploading!! Wished I could’ve been there
Thx for uploading this and recording it , ur the man , also the set was fking insane :D
Man this was my fave show of the weekend. I dont kno about you guys but my take away from this Virtual Self is that identity of Virtual self is an AI program that makes music. Its taken all the basic elements of electronic music like trance and house and makes music (really its porter). CALL ME CRAZY but thats the take away i got. I love porters geniusness and how he is able to reinvent himself.
fuck yas. bring back all them 90s and 00s vibes back. this is life.
I don't know about the rest of yall that were there but as soon as the 2nd drop of EON Break hit, my eyes just burst into tears from how amazing everything was. I was bawling like a bitch watching all the lights and fireworks going crazy and I aint ashamed at all.
Thank you for capturing this!
I didn't catch this set and was at Kaskade at Kinetic Field during the time Virtual Robinson was performing his set at Circuit Grounds, it just turned my birthday when they started. Kaskade's set was fire as always, he did another secret set on the Parliament Art Car later that night/morning and played his Sunrise set.
Terrific, I'll post some on my page, got a pretty good view but hats off to you for keeping it recording the whole time, you are a true friend!!
Words cannot explain how good this is
