8 Records That Porter Robinson Released As Ekowraith

We know a lot about rising EDM star Porter Robinson since he’s made it big in the scene thanks to his countless interviews, casual tweets, and even Tumblr posts. We’ve learned that he first started producing music when he was around twelve years old, and that he was mainly influenced by video game soundtracks (specifically the Japanese Dance Dance Revolution).

In 2008, Porter found himself creating and releasing music under the name Ekowraith. His sound resided in a genre called “Hands Up” – a style of music that modern dance fans aren’t aware of, including myself. Many of his tracks were released via YAWA Recordings from 2008 to 2010.

Considering Porter’s upcoming full-length album based on beauty and art, I thought it would be interesting to listen to some of the records that got one of my favorite producers started. Listed below are eight Ekowraith tunes that I really enjoy.

Productions like “Booming Track” and “Countdown To Love” were featured on CD compilations such as “Dance Essentials Vol. 1”, “Welcome To The Club 19” and “Summer Trance 2008”. At the bottom of this article I’ve also included some cover-art that might throw you. But without further ado, dive into the music below and make sure you share your thoughts with me via Twitter, Facebook, or the comment section at the bottom of this page.
