Porter Robinson‘s early-2000s-trance-themed alias Virtual Self is back with a new visual for key track “Ghost Voices,” from his debut self-titled EP which dropped late last year.
The video takes place in a warehouse, filled with flickering tube television sets and weird cabling strewn across desks and monitors. A couple of robed characters materialize into the scene, though their faces don’t quite render, keeping their identities hidden and features scrambled.

Porter Robinson’s Virtual Self announces a headlining North-American Virtual Self Utopia Tour, stopping in cities from Austin to Vancouver, kicking the run off with a performance at Electric Zoo in New York City. The Utopia show combines two sets into one — one set each from the two Virtual Self “producers”. Virtual Self purposefully not released under the Porter Robinson ego is a very different sound with tinges of Porter around the edges. The heavy EP has a Dr.Jekyl and Mr.Hyde air about it. The dark Technic-Angel and an almost opposite bright white character known as Pathselector.
Built on a thick, low hanging bass line, the song is haunted by the past, folding Detroit techno in on the more contemporary sounds of the repeated vocal hook. Just like the visages of the characters in the video, the soulful vocals here are also hard to make out — words pass but they don’t connect– reinforcing the idea of disembodied voices.
Porter Robinson's EP as 'Virtual Self' Brings Bright And Dark Together In A Kaleidoscope of Fun: Listen. Growing up in the South, the now-celebrated producer wasn't a kid who got his kicks in school halls. He lived instead for video game and anime forums, augmenting his.
It’s a clever play on how we construct our identities online, using music that’s incredibly nostalgic for the past to draw attention to the distance between ourselves and the identities we cobble together and curate on social media, or for a more era appropriate reference, instant messenger.
Prior to this year’s cryptic Virtual Self release, the twenty-five-year-old North Carolina native quickly made a name for himself over the past eight years, releasing songs like massive hit “Say My Name” to the acclaim of fans and contemporaries alike. Robinson has shared the stage with EDM heavyweights like Zedd, Calvin Harris and Diplo.
