Having listened to many of the Ultra sets from the comfort of my room on the other side of the Atlantic, i felt i had to draw attention to this particular set which for me is absolute genius. Porter Robinson is a perhaps the most famous DJ in the world to use the Traktor S4 style, a style that is criticised by vinyl purists and sync-haters the world over. With this set Porter slaps those idiots in the face, demonstrating exactly how this style of DJing should be used, rapidly switching from track to track, mixing different songs and firing off samples at a ridiculously fast paced rate, rarely pulling back for a calm moment.
He crosses genres from Electro, Hardstyle, Hard trance, Acid house, constantly dropping a track that seems so perfect yet completely unexpected. Sometimes 20 seconds of a song is given before Porter pulls into the next one. All the while he is slipping in subtle vocal cuts or melody lines from his most brilliant and beautiful track 'Language', which he finally drops at the end of the Set.
Porter Robinson has given this set out as a free download, and it is something any Dance music fan, aspiring DJ or Vinyl purist should download and listen to repeatedly.
Enjoy this stroke of Genius..
