#PorterRobinson #Nurture
Porter Robinson is my favorite genre
Amen
yes

True respect to you Porter. The fact you went away from the fame and fortune just wanted to make "love letters to things" shows your mark as a true artist. You went through a full experience to produce the album. It shows beautifully.
Nurture is the greatest album ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@zachmiller8798 language is better than the entire nurture album lmfao
@@v3nnd3ttaa language is my fav song and nurture is my fav album
@@zachmiller8798 cool
@@v3nnd3ttaa no, it's not lol. Wind Tempos single-handedly beats up Language. Also, Nurture and Language and worlds are all completely different in style, substance and aesthetic. Comparisons wouldn't work, and would come down to personal preference.
I love this interviewer so much for letting porter just talk instead of pushing questions he planned.
don’t get confused; Porter isn’t making EDM, but IS still making electronic music. there is a difference and electronic music is a big umbrella of genres
preach it!
no doubt let's be honest, 75% of the music being published is electronic now. undeniable
Exactly, electronic music can mean SO many things, which is why it’s such a great genre
Difference with EDM is in the name "Electronic Dance Music": electronic music targeted for dance scenes and rave culture.
Thank God, I hate when people use EDM as a way to describe all electronic music.
Porter spoke for like 45 of the 50 mins & I listened to the entire thing. Dude is so eloquent. So glad he continued making music! Nurture is everything 🧡
It's so weird hearing Porter speak in a southern accent, I'm so used to beep beep boop
I don't hear a Southern accent.

@@made.online2149 and Porter's music in general!!! thank u Nick
hello nick
fantastic interview. thank you
CITY GIRL ! i always don’t expect to see u in comment sections of my favorite music hahaha ... love ur stuff as always
love your music!!
omg city girl is here, love your music
This man is my hero not just as a musician, but I love how honestly he speaks about his struggles with depression and mental health issues. It's so relatable to me as a creative person and I know all too well what he means, I'm glad he was able to drag himself out of it and produce his best work in years. Love him always for inspiring me, both musically and in taking care of myself
This morning I woke up and listened to his album 💔 It just wrecked me me, especially 'Unfold', I relate so much to this song right now it hurts 💔 It's so beautiful and I wish him the best because I'm sure he's got a lot of potential to bring to nowadays music
Same! He album is great. Mother is my favourite song. That got to me!
I appreciate that he sings examples straight out so you actually know the songs he is talking about.
What's the euro dance he's talking about again?
*Porter proceeds to belt the smash hits*
Ah, nice. Thanks.
Huge respect to Porter for opening up and sharing his story like this, dark times and all. It will surely inspire a lot of people and it's already helped me appreciate the new album so much more!
damn, we are getting absolutely BLESSED with new porter things today😭💚 happy nurture day everyone!!
Happy look at the sky day!!!
Hey JoTomo!! Fancy seeing you here! It's Stuart!
this guy can switch genres and make masterpieces time and time again.
While I am sad he switched genres, it’s for selfish reasons. I’m glad he’s making music he loves. I will just have to resort to Illenium, Jai Wolf, Lione, etc for my emo edm
@@ajaiakaoaosnaiansjaoanskak I kinda feel the opposite, I feel like I outgrew so much of Electronic music and this album just catered exactly to where I sit with this kind of music, it's beyond amazing and I can't believe I get to experience it like Worlds as a much older adult.
This may come off as a very big joke to all of you - but I remember back in the day where Porter was under the name Ekowraith, and Madeon was under the name Dj Daemon. I chatted, wrote and sent back and forth stuff with these two freaking creative geniuses on MSN (Myspace gang where ya at). At that time I produced Hands Up as well, exactly like they did. They 100% would not remember, but ofcourse I do!
To this day I am now a pop singer, and producer, and still trying to break through in the big wide world. Kinda made it semi in Denmark where I'm from, but my ambitions is soooo big!
Listening to this is so unreal because I've seen his journey 1-1 like he tells it here. All the way from his Ekowraith track Booming Track, to his first release under Porter Robinson called Say My Name. So crazy listening to this. I just know that one day I'll be where he's at, just with my singing pop music instead
I don't know if anybody would ever care, but I just needed this out
@@joshlorenzen that's super cool. I know both hugo and porter talk about their adventures on EDM production forums, and how it shaped their styles. Neat to see someone who was a part of that culture
rooting for you brother!!!! DO YOUR BESTEST!!!
thats super sick dude!
Jeg husker, at vi to snakkede om Hands Up dengang. Vi udvekslede produktioner, men det var klart, at du var langt bedre end mig. Fedt at se, at du stadig arbejder hårdt. Jeg gav op for længe siden.
It's insane how closely Porter's journey mirrors my own. I'm fighting my way through this drought and learning how to love myself, remember who I am, and to write music again that is authentic to me. This album and Porter's entire mindset shift has helped me to course correct and realize the things that are most important to me. I cannot thank him enough for this. It's a glimpse into my own clarity and peace for once, something I've rarely felt over the last ten years.
I was feeling the exact same way while listening to this, to the point I've gotten chills multiple times because of how closely I relate. This interview was cathartic, therapeutic and honestly an epiphany for me. I'm glad I'm not the only one!
On top of Porter being a god-like producer and technically talented, his melodies, chord progressions and overall harmony are so exceptional in music today. Those are what really makes him stand out for me! Saw him live back in 2013 and been a huge fan since.
Eyy, good to see you here too. Your music is amazing.
Love your music man, helped me go through some tough times
Let’s go!!!!!
This was such a great interview. I love how unlike other shows Zack let’s his guests talk without interrupting them and I feel like this is the most comfortable and confident I’ve heard Porter be
"this was me learning to love real life again" Porter is such an incredibly beautiful soul and I'm so glad he found this journey of healing. I'm so glad he's found this profound love for himself. We're so lucky he's then able to share that with us through his music.
The vibe I get from Porter Robinson’s newest album, is like the music version of drawings if that makes sense. It is art, but with sound. Been resonating with his work lately and always cheers me up when I’m feeling down or out of balance.
I learned more in this interview than I have in my past 3 months of school
you are an outstanding interviewer sir. clearly you did your homework and you’re so good at getting the artist to open up and asking questions that will clearly get them talking. great great job
sad machine and clarity were both rly powerful songs for me in my adolescence and i didn't even know much about porter back then. i just listened to nurture yesterday and i feel like something has... completed. love him
This is the best interview I’ve seen. Porter, I love how you can describe your feelings so well. I appreciate you expressing yourself so deeply for all of us to listen.
xxx
I feel like he has so much to say!! I need a part 2 lengthly interview, i really enjoy listening to his explanation of his album and progression in life.
You are absolutely amazing to get one of my faves on here, always my fave interviewer!! Much love
Really connected with Porter’s struggle to find purpose and feeling like you don’t know what you’re doing. Really glad to hear that he’s doing better. Mad props for doing you!
I'm just filled with so much of love after listening to his album today
I'm out of words but i love you porter forever
this was an insightful interview! the EDM world is massive so i know Porter is probably outside of Zach's and Dan's wheelhouse, but I appreciate their time sitting and understanding Porter's journey and timeline of EDM over the years. Both Porter and Zedd were some of the first DJs that I went to see live when I first got into the scene. His Worlds album is iconic, Shelter still makes us cry, and Clarity is still a bop whenever Zedd drops it at his shows. Great job guys!
As someone from Greensboro and Raleigh, I totally agree with Porter on how it's a pretty great state. Beautiful mountains, a coast line, and the 4 seasons.
I resonate so much with Porter on not wanting to move away from home. You can work from anywhere you want in modern society, so proximity to friends and family is the most important thing in the world to me.
I loved this talk. As another musician here currently in almost the same years long musical rut Robinson talked about, this was really great to hear, even if my future in music is still unclear. After dedicating most of my life and education to music as well as it being such a creative outlet, having slide into disliking everything you make to the point of having a huge fear of "giving up on music" was very very familiar.
Porter himself seems like great loving person and I can relate to his internet-lead upbringing and shy insecure personality traits he's going through. Where he is now seems amazing and he's obviously gained a lot of emotional intelligence through therapy. I wish him all the best for the future ♥️
If I had any advice for people in the same situation (even though I'm not really out of it yet), it's to live more life like Porter said (i.e: jobs and friends, lockdown showed me that) and have god damn fun with music instead of thinking of it as something that has to be done. Jam with people, throw your composition/production "routine" out and sample your favourite funny video or something, take risks, listen to new music. You can have fun again.
This is absolutely one of the best interviews I have ever seen on creativity, creating art, and the creative process and struggle of creating art.
Porters advice to artists is so encouraging.
What! Porter worked on Clarity?! Makes sense why I love that song so much
this conversation is so vulnerable and real and brave and all the beautiful things, didn’t expect it would heal some part of me this way, loved Porter since day one!💟
The pretentiousness of this comment makes me wanna hurl.
Woah you got Porter Robinson?
I'm crying right now.
Porter's discussion about being consumed by the fear of moving away is something I am struggling with now, but it is nice to know that others deal with it too. To me, Nurture is about growing and becoming the best version of yourself possible. Love you Porter
This is the most unexpected crossover....and I’m HERE for it
This is a great interview. Thank you for letting Porter just talk. If you're reading this Porter, my friends, and I all love you.
Nurture is incredible but now it makes sense. The human behind it fought through so much to make it. I'm so thankful to Porter Robinson for showing us all how to heal
I feel like my journey aligned so closely with porter's. I heard language early on.. Say my name was my anthem when it first came out, and then worlds came out when I was in the most intense mental health crisis of my life. I remember playing it in the mental hospital. And today, I've found myself going through the most beautiful growth that I never thought possible. And in the midst of it Nurture comes out....I just..🥺🖤
This is how interviews should be, my hat goes off to your team. Free flowing and naturally engaging 👍🏼👍🏼 GG's.
this interview was excellent!! And Porter is so inspiring.
Letting go is the answer to everything in life. Great story.
I DIDN'T KNOW HE WRITES CLARITY DAMNNNN MY FAVOURITE SONG EVER 😭 All Porter's song is my favourite, the lyrics is very relatable to me. It makes sense now ✋😭💙
The „Foto“ and „this is my boi Heinrich“ part was hilarious 😂 Really surprised me that his first gig was in Germany :o Love ya Porter
This was such a great interview and such a wonderful album. 💚💙💚🎶
Whoah that last minute Nature vs Nurture bit at the end is crazzzzyyyy that just blew my mind. So profound
I am so glad I watched/listened to this whole thing because it makes me passionate again to pursue music, gaining confidence, and gave me insight on Clarity and 2 of my favorite songs of his. I was literally listening to Musician yesterday, just 'cause I love it so much, and I've always wondered about the meaning of those lyrics in those songs, especially because I relate to those lyrics of internal criticism and hope. Thank you, Porter, for being so open and vulnerable with your music and self. It inspires and encourages us listeners and fans out there
Honestly, I've struggled to fall in love with new music for years. Nothing has really hit home for me for a long time. But Nurture? I absolutely fell in love with every song within the album. You can feel the feeling he puts in to all the songs and the meanings they have.
love him forever
I adore Porter. We have many similarities, such as DDR being a big influence in our lives and spending days on end as a kid starting at a computer browsing the internet while also experiencing the excitement of learning something new (for him it was music, for me it was graphic design). It feels awesome to be able to connect with an artist on a level beyond music. He is a very talented artist and I really look forward to seeing what he has in store for us in his music career. Thank you for the great interview Zach!
I will always love Porter Robinson, his music always make me feel Free and Alive.
Its putting my soul in a new world where everything is okay and free, forget reality for minutes. That’s how his music helps me 💚💙
Damn porter is a real life angel boy and I’m here for it!!! Thanks for this interview 💖💖
This is so dope porter going out there and being active and stuff love it
Fantastic interview. Been listening to Porter since before spitfire but haven’t really watching any interviews! I’ve seen you live a few times and I’m crying every time. I’ve always felt your anxiety through your performances and music in (weird way to say it but) the best way, it resonated with me so well. You and Zedd at Petco park for $20 bucks was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. First sky was amazing last week! We love you Porter!
Zach man you ask such good relevant questions and let porter really talk and go in on his thoughts keep killin it this was sick
aaaa this interview is amazing i love the questions u asked too, i feel like i left this video knowing sm more about porter n reflecting on how far he’s come c:
Although I've really enjoyed his music, I've never listened to an interview or new anything about Porter. I am presently surprised to find he's a genuinely level headed dude who just likes making music. Thanks for the podcast!
Crazy how he talks about life experience being unused raw material. Really puts a lot into perspective.
I appreciate Porter’s vulnerability. I can definitely relate to the irrational perceptive mental patterns that we can fall into that do us a disservice in life. While i’m not a big fan of his most recent music, I have a lot of respect for him as a whole and I think he’s a huge value to the dance community.
Wish porter would throw shows in NC !!!! People would come out the wood works for that! Loved secret sky what a great live show!
I've loved Clarity way more than most big EDM tracks and loved Porter's stuff way more than almost anything else for years now, but I never connected the dots. I short circuited at the realization there. Also, this interview and Nurture give off such great vibes. Much love! Great interview of one of my current favorite humans!
Porter Robinson is just a vibe! Literally The fucking best no matter what he puts out
So funny that the ending lines in Mirror were brought up and fascinating how Porter described it. The end of that song has broken me many times before and helped me cope with personal struggles. That voice has bounced around in my head numerous times to remind me that everything is ok and the problems are all in my head.
Being from Chapel Hill as well (by extension Raleigh and Durham) there's a good music scene here. It's definitely more on the "Indie" side (Porter Robinson is probably the most famous act, aside from James Taylor, and infamously Ryan Adams). For contemporary groups we got Sylvan Esso, Iron and Wine, Wye Oak, and then older bands from the 90s/2000s Archers of Loaf, Polvo, Superchunk. etc. There's actually a fair amount groups moving here from bigger cities because we have a vibrant scene and good quality of living/cheaper rent (although that's rising with gentrification).
love that porter guy
24:19 as soon as he brought up justin vernon i knew what was gonna happen
Made me really happy to know that he pronounced the name correctly, too (I mean, I think any fan of the group would...but still.) Maybe kinda silly but it felt really good to hear, lol.
Hearing about "Finding something new to love" really just.... it was cathartic to hear. Ever since Musician came out, and going back to Look at the Sky, I've just been constantly feeling like "Porter is basically at the point where I would've been at his age"
Just on a philosophical level of appreciating the things around us, and knowing when to move forward. These past few months and finally hearing the full album has been a journey all wrapped up in one. I loved this interview, and so glad we got to hear more about Porter's own journey from DDR to Nuture!
Porter 💕
His music has made such a huge impact in my life. From worlds and now to nurture.
I also went through a couple years musical rut and that’s when I discovered Nurture and it got me through that time so it feels really special to me that porter also went through something similar
Thank you for this interview, it's something I really needed to hear.
Thank you so much Porter for sharing this with us! I am so glad you followed your heart and not what other people thought! Thank you so much for not quitting music and thank you for beeing you!
Great chat!! Really enjoyed this conversation. Thanks Porter!
24:01 _"I get paycheck every month from Clarity, dude I can live off of Clarity"_ Damn big flex there from Porter ifw that, he could retire anytime he wants to basically (hopefully not) 🤣
Musician gave me a similar meaning to most. I constantly live with the struggle of trying to become a relevant producer at an age where most people are looking to buy a house or start a family. Its drving me insane having to spend 8-10 hours a day on work I really don't give a damn about, then having to come home and get creative and literally switch that mindset. And it all boils down to the fact that I shouldn't have listened to people talk me out of music when I was younger. I should have trusted my gut and decided thats what I wanted to do. My interpretation of Musician is an ode to that scenario. If you are young, and music is your passion please don't let anyone talk you out of it.
This has to be a dream, my three favorite people in one video. Love you guys, thank you.
10:30 "This is my boy Heinrich"-Button
Thank you 🙏🏻 😆 ❤️
yes. the 🐐🐐🐐
Porter Robinson is himself, you can tell he has a beautiful soul as it shows in his music 🎶
Porter is so precious 🐰
i love all porter's work so much! thanks for existing. 🥺
This guy have a diverse talent...i really love his masterpiece🥰🥰
He put out some amazing sounds ! Been a fan since like 2013 when his Spitfire album came out
I'm so happy that you found your inspiration again Porter.
Thank you for this Porter. Your album is what we really need this time. We need hope and this album Nurture was the embodiment of that. My favourite album of 2021 💙
I have so much more appreciation for his music now, after listening to him tell his story. really humble guy..
I knew i loved the way his songs sounded, but there was always some things that I couldn't fully grasp or understand completely about his tracks, and coming from a "bedroom producer/musician" it honestly kinda drove me nuts because i'm constantly trying to break down and replicate sounds that i find inspiring. and he's one of the only artist that i'm just not able to do that when listening lol. like I totally didn't know that his voice is behind all the vocals. n how he puts it through an effect to pitch it up an octave to get that super unique sound. Lol I know that probably sounds like a no brainer, but i had no clue. n now I want to go back and listen to Worlds again with this new found insight.
damn this interview actually helped me so much
Dang, this was a much needed interview, so much motivation coming from Porter
And now, he has come back, for one more album.
ONE MORE??!!!!
@@mr.gooseyt8836 Yeah, you go to the official website in the description, and it now says "The album is don" or something like that.
I don't know what was more beautiful; listening to Nurture or listening to porter talk about it.
god im happy porter showed up :)
it really made my evening a whole lot better
I feel like so much has changed since when I first discovered Porter when I was like 15 till now. I used to listen to his songs, and try to make my own music and daydream. I also knew both of them from the FL Studio forum. Madeon was Wayne Mont and they both did Eurodance. The energy from Eurodance music is just too perfect and felt like the 2000s. I wish that came back. Stuff was much simpler back then. Politics made everyone become lunatics, regardless of what party.
50mins is too short..
But am so happy... Excited to finish this video 💗ty for doing this
Thank you so much for sharing - wonderful interview
such profOUND things he's saying.... we are so lucky that nurture exists after everything he went through. thank you so much for this interview! always lovely to watch them (i am bery Big bangtan fan and get excited every time theyre on the show lmao)
Oh man I’m so pumped to watch this I’ve been a fan of Porter since Worlds and the new album was exactly what I needed to hear and more
I also grew up in the Chapel Hill area so it’s really cool hearing Porter is still there. Great area and no surprise he’s stayed around. Wonder if we ever crossed paths...
this interview is everything. i wish they asked about the track unfold, it was next level
