Porter Robinson’s new album “Worlds” has a new twist that everyone, not caught braindead from recent EDM mastery, can vibe to.

With its sweet tones and theme of escapism, a fantasy land is easily imaginable to listeners who dive deep within DJ Porter Robinson's new album. The hit single released before the album’s release, “Sad Machine” is a great start up song, but there’s so much more to the album than the surface sounds. Robinson uses electronically generated voices to convince the listener of his/her fictional world that he/she has created. In “Sad Machine,” the voice created by Robinson asks “is anyone there?” in the first seconds of the track, followed by the a beautiful array of notes that he creates to infuse the listener with more imagination and less force.

One big inspiration to Robinson, is to form a genre of music more expressive than the latest hits that today’s EDM artists have been producing. He explains how he was getting tired of ignoring the creative flow that he loves and finally focused the entire album on emulating his identity. He also clarifies that he isn’t anti-EDM, because avoiding the genre all together would make the album somewhat boring, but is trying to create the freest thing possible. His biggest complaint to modern EDM is the fact that he was in with the culture at first, but found it rapidly declined once it became universal.                             

Porter also enjoys MMORPGs – massively multiplayer online role playing games – such as “Star Wars Galaxies” and “City of Heroes”. These two games recently shut down, which influenced the thesis of the album, and especially the last song in the masterpiece, “Goodbye to a World”, which expresses the electronic voice and vision exponentially. “Thank you, I'll say goodbye soon Though its the end of the world, don't blame yourself” is the last lyric in the album and sets imagination to a whole new level. Robinson’s new album is also closely related to brilliant artists such as Passion Pit and M83, which is apparent through some of the melodies engraved in this new electronic treasure.
