Porter Robinson: Worlds Remixed

Okay, so Worlds Remixed has been out for a little while, but that doesn’t mean we can’t review it in this here issue of Forte. This time around the release is a hand picked selection of remixed songs of Porter Robinson by the man himself. It’s a track-by-track collection presented in the same order as the original album tracklist (from Worlds).
The release clocks at just under an hour and, I’d say, is a pretty good party album to throw on. It pumps through all the tracks you’ve come to love from Porter Robinson (seriously, Worlds was such a gem). ‘Sad Machine’ by Deon Custom is a highlight, it’s punchy, layered with synth but still maintains the charm of the original track. After all, that’s what remixing something well is all about – unless you’re reinventing an absolutely massacred original song. Notable mention goes to Mat Zo’s take on ‘Flicker’. It’s low, building and all encompassing when the beat drops.
For those who love Porter Robinson, this remixed release is still deserving of a space on your shelf next to the original as its his party stylings taken that one notch further – which is never a bad thing in my books.
