Porter Robinson’s Virtual Self Set To Embark on First Live Show
It’s official! Over the past month or so, Porter Robinson has been dropping new music and teasing more releases under the alias “Virtual Self”. Having hinted at the idea for past 3-years, the Electronic DJ/Producers has finally delivered to us the mesmerizing change of pace that Virtual Self brings. The legacy of Porter Robinson continues and I don’t think there is a single fan out there complaining about new sound as it is showing an insane amount of diversity.
Having created alternative social accounts, dropped two singles “Eon Break” and Ghost Voices”, and leaving us all wanting more, it is finally confirmed! Virtual Self- 12.08.17-Brooklyn, New York-Avant Gardner.

Why Virtual Self Was Such A Left-Field Move For Porter
Porter Robinson built his name on the emotionally sweeping, brightly melodic electronic-pop sound of albums like Worlds, so Virtual Self, a project that leaned into hard trance, hardcore, and early-2000s rave aesthetics, was a genuine curveball for longtime fans. It wasn’t a total surprise to anyone paying close attention, though: Porter had talked in interviews for years about his nostalgia for the trance and hard dance sounds he grew up on before he found his own signature style.
The anonymous rollout, separate social accounts, no immediate confirmation it was even him, was very deliberate, letting the music get judged purely on its own terms rather than through the lens of “the Worlds guy trying something new.” Virtual Self’s self-titled EP went on to earn a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album, a genuinely rare feat for a project built around throwback rave sounds rather than a radio-friendly single, and this Brooklyn show was one of the first chances fans had to experience that world performed live.
