The 22 year old wunderkind's new album is currently the talk of the town, so we figured why not hit him up to play some Dance Dance Revolution, and discuss the game's influence on his musical style.

I love how his inspiration for his Virtual Self project came from DDR ⬅️⬇️⬆️➡️

[@ddrkikomix1553]

Now DDR A3 Has 2 Porter Robinson's Songs In the game
Something Comforting & Look at the Sky

[@Jackie_Tracks]

my goal in life is to be anywhere near that good at ddr

[@abellimon2915]

Start now. It's not hard and only requires consistent practice at least once a week.

[@GaspoweR]

Shoutouts to "Intern" Nick "Babylonian" Robinson

[@dashark14]

it's crazy cause now two of his songs just got added to ddr!

[@almondmilksoda]

I love this so much! I hadn't made the connection before hearing Porter talk about it, but DDR was most likely my first exposure to electronic music also. We're the same age, so it makes sense. I remember spending countless hours over my friend's house playing DDR MAX and Extreme. Great stuff.

[@LuisMartinez-di8yq]

Oh my god I love the fact that Porter Robinson is a weeaboo, it fills me with determination!

[@ghost1179609]

+Luis Martinez A weeaboo is someone thats obsessed with japanese culture, Porter didnt portray that in my eyes

[@deadman9455]

joshua allen not just obsessed, weeaboo call them self a japanese

[@nanogon7767]

1:01

[@daimian166]

Crazy how he's gotten to everywhere he said he would, this is great to watch in 2020 haha

[@tomaspaulmusic]

and now he’s in DDR!

[@baetIIDX]

Poor Porter. He has so much skill yet has to play on a Raw Thrills cabinet

[@fieldwork763]

DDR max was my jam 😭

[@AyasaurusRexx]

So crazy how full circle this is!

[@blackholeguardian]

Wishing Monty Oum was still with us. Picturing a Monty V Porter DDR battle.

Thanks to Kyrandian for helping Porter Robinson to make the first song ever "Booming Track"
Kyrandian is also DDR kid since 2005

[@Sepharig]

I freakin' love DDR! Used to play it so much. And that's where I got some of my interest in "electronic" music too back then!

[@MikuChildofSong]

I love this so much!

[@Guppylolz]

[@JakestaSWG]

[@iDunnoAnymoar]

FEARLESSNESS

[@nikthequick9688]

what song is used for the vid, its super chill.

[@StickyPoliceman]

It's a royalty free song. Used it while at school from their giant royalty free library lmao

[@nikthequick9688]

StickyPoliceman thanks. it sounds very nostalgic and old school. sucks don't know exactly what song it is.

[@simonchung5489]

robert miles - children, not sure what remix

[@Pendarr]

Nikolas Obrenovic I can tell you it uses a few stock samples from the Vengeance Essential Clubsounds vol. 2 sound pack. Both the gated synths and the arpeggio plucks that come in at the beginning are from that pack. The breakbeat, piano and bassline were added onto it. I know it doesn't really help you ID the actual song, but it's definitely something royalty free as it was almost directly taken from those packs.

[@jonpersitz5922]

StickyPoliceman where did you use this? this is my track.

[@DakotaAsh]

I love DDR

[@DizDood]

i hope you play ddr by orlando from your worlds tour ill be seeing you

[@Jigglypoof]

Kenny G are there any good arcade spots in town or do you have to go into the theme parks to see DDR cabinets?

[@yamazaki7449]

Ah yes the algorithms

[@iAMACUTEBITCH]

[@lLl-fl7rv]

Nurture.

[@yinlove994]

Max 300

[@repker]

Is that Aiko on his shirt?

[@SoCalFreelance]

Perhaps Chihiro?

[@repker]

SoCalFreelance actually I checked and i'm fairly sure it's aiko (from oyasumi punpun in case you didn't know (great manga btw))

[@repker]

chris ce your comment is extremely confusing

[@JACrazy3]

Kevvlio what hes saying is that Porter bought the shirt from him. And thats the link to buy it.

[@majoy101]

yep that's aiko

[@CrispyHands]

MAJI DESUKA!?

[@d3ad_b3at91]

[@Nitrous0x]

Jon Persitz Which song is yours. I tried to scan all your songs and couldn't find a similar sounding song.

[@Nitrous0x]

inchypi Did I just seriously fall for his spammy advertising for his channel?

[@Uknkown]

This is why bedroom producers are so looked down because of shitty attempts like these

[@Nitrous0x]

Anybody for reals know the song used in this video though? I can't imagine it was used specifically just for this one video.

[@djedgeofficial]

Goddamnit Dapper. This is why we can't have nice things.
