In the past year, 18-year-old electro-house prodigy Porter Robinson has pushed his way to the top of the Beatport charts, and into the hearts of enormous DJs like David Guetta. Robinson is currently on tour with Zedd and Skrillex, who is releasing Porter's forthcoming EP on his OWSLA label. In the Fall, Porter Robinson will be joining Tiësto on a college tour.

On today's episode, we discuss Porter's introduction to electronic music (atypical doesn't begin to describe it), his ascension through the ranks of producers and DJs, and his plans for upcoming releases and tours.

Coming up next week, Zoogma will be featured on The Untz Podcast. Preston Boutot and Matt Harris will discuss the band’s inception, their album Recreational Vehicles (which is available for free on their website), as well as how they’ve been blowing up on tour this year. Catch them at a number of summer festivals including The Big Up, Rootwire, and Camp Bisco X in a little more than a week.

Porter Robinson will be joining Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, Beats Antique, Big Gigantic, Paper Diamond, Eliot Lipp, Two Fresh, Kaskade, Tiësto, and so many more this weekend at the first (and hopefully, annual) Electric Forest Festival in Rothbury, MI .
