Oh wow. So the other night, it was just another typical drive home from the Gold Coast and as per usual, I had the radio tuned into Triple J. I really love Triple J because they mainly play Australian music and artists who aren't as well known, but are incredible. It was about 8:55pm (I always take note of the time when I hear something really good on the radio, but don't know who it's by, so I can look it up when I get home) and this person requesting a song is going on and on about this Porter Robinson dude, asking to play his song 'Sad Machine' because its so amazing and so I thought hmmm maybe this is something I should be taking note of. I kept listening and OHHHH MYYYY GOOODNESSSS my face just exploded. It was this really evocative and emotional, yet magnificent song that had me at the first hook. When I got home, I googled it, bought the song off iTunes and I've had it on repeat ever since.
Tonight, I was doing a bit of research on this insanely talented, Porter Robinson and it turns out that he's more into creating music that "felt beautiful and nostalgic", rather than that DJ scene AND IT'S WONDERFUL. SO SO WONDERFUL. I'M SORRY BUT I'M JUST REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE THERE ARE ELECTRONIC MUSIC PRODUCERS OUT THERE WHO ACTUALLY MAKE REALLY REALLY BEAUTIFUL MUSIC AND EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THEM. Some people don't regard electronic music as 'real music', and I have been guilty of making judgments (but to be honest, Skrillex just freaks me out) but I guess if you're open to give it a try, any genre really, you will be surprised with what there is out there.
