Porter Robinson

Porter Robinson is an American electronic music producer and singer. He is known for coining the term ‘complextro’, a portmanteau of ‘complex’ and ‘electro’ used to refer to the intricately detailed style of house music as popularised by his Spitfire EP (2011). He drastically changed his sound, moving in a more Melodic EDM direction for his debut album, Worlds in 2014.

He also frequently collaborates with other artists: his commissioned remixes span from Lady Gaga to Innerpartysystem, and he provided backing vocals for Zedd’s 2012 chart smash “Clarity”.

In 2016, he released the single “Shelter” with electronic artist Madeon. Both were very close friends for a long time, so they went on a North American tour, which expanded to a European tour with stops in Japan and Australia. The Shelter Tour ended with the last stop being Coachella 2017.

In January 2020, Porter Robinson announced Nurture, his sophomore LP that further evolved his music into Indie Synthpop. The album was released on April 23, 2021.

On March 1, 2024, Porter Robinson announced his album SMILE :D was complete. It was released on July 26, 2024, surprising his audience with a stylistic shift to indietronica pop.
