Porter Robinson Schooled Us in DDR

And then discussed the arcade game's influence on his musical style

We've become well acquainted with the fact that dance whizkid is an aficionado for all things Japanese. What we didn't know is that the guy's feet might even be faster than his fingers. We trekked with Porter to Dave and Buster's, where he proceeded to blow our minds with how adept he is a tapping those toes at Dance Dance Revolution. He's even got some next level form. This isn't a game for him. It's a way of life.

Porter also discusses the influences for his upcoming Astralwerks release Worlds, the alarming amount of coffee he drinks for a young man, and how pivotal the arcade game has been in his musical career. Then we lost him in the arcade, perhaps in some form of "escapist universe."

We love Porter:
