Tonight, Friday, June 20th, 2014 (USA), Porter Robinson will take over Pete Tong’s highly acclaimed BBC Radio 1 show to air his 2014 essential mix. For some reason this information has flown under the radar and is receiving very little attention, possibly because of EDC Las Vegas and EDMbiz? Regardless, I’d clear your plans for this evening because this essential installment will surely be one that you can not miss.
“I spent two years writing Worlds and during that time I’d become really pessimistic about the future of electronic music, but once I finished the album I went and made an active effort to find new electronic music that touched me. I’ve fully changed my mind! I think the future is really, really bright. There’s a ton of great music today that just needs to be discovered. That’s not to say this mix is entirely devoid of classics, but it’s mostly made up of stuff I’ve heard recently.” – Porter Robinson (via BBC website)
Head to the BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix website for more information. This mix will air 1:00 AM – 3:00 AM UK time and will include all of Robinson’s favorite electronic music from the last year. You can check the broadcast time for your area using this handy WorldTimeZone website.

it’s a weird time for me to put out a DJ set, since my next tour will be all my own original music in a live-show setting…
