“The thing that drew me to dance music in the first place was this Japanese video game music that I was really into,” Robinson told Billboard last year. “I’ve been producing for about 10 or 11 years and when I started to encounter DJ music the only stuff that I liked was the high-detail, guys who had real chops, people who were insanely good at the technical skill of producing. Not the most energetic, not the most exciting party music but the dudes who had real chops… a lot of that was in the electro world.”
Robinson plans to put DJing on hold this year as he focuses on the production and release of “Worlds,” though he’s not abandoning, by any means, the style dance music that made him popular.
“One thing that I still find really compelling about dance music is that the way that it’s willing to be really loud at times,” he explains, hinting at a sound that might appear on “Worlds.” “One way to really drive the emotion home is with a big bold section of the song.”
Today’s video gives fans a sense of the kind of work they can expect from Robinson in the coming year as his commitment to originality extends beyond his record and into the promotion of it as well.
“I don’t like big wishy-washy, very marketing-y campaigns where they try to use a hash tag and it doesn’t make sense,” Robinson says. “Tacky stuff is not something that I care for obviously. I’ve tried to make everything that I do feel pretty intentional.”
While a release date hasn’t been made official, sources at Astralwerks parent company UMG say not to expect “Worlds” until after the second quarter of this year.

Comments on the track from Porter himself:
I’d used Vocaloid as the vocals for several of the songs on Worlds, and then the idea of a duet between a lonely robot girl and the human boy who encounters her occurred to me. I didn’t have much time before I had to turn in the entire album, so I just sang the male parts. I wanted something that felt distantly sad, a little cute, surreal, hopeful, and maybe somehow evocative of fiction?

Amazing album. It was only a fe weeks back I listened all the singles in a string and realised this could be one of this year’s big albums, and boy, I was right! Fellow Feeling alone sums up how great this is. Kudos to Porter!
On, the scene releases site.
Worlds is completely amazing. The music and lyrics combine just perfectly. The fact that he actually sings live with some of his songs makes it amazing and shows that he really feels his music.
