Porter Robinson - Language

This is the new summer anthem from American Producer, Porter Robinson. The track is a mash of multiple different types of beat and travels through a spectrum of tone changes. Language follows his hit EP, Spitfire, which reached number one on the both the  iTunes dance chart and the overall Beatport chart. The song has also reached the A-List on BBC Radio 1 and is on heavy rotation on Zane Lowe’s Show.

The single sees the producer step up a gear from his previous, almost Moombahton type of style, to deliver a more house driven stomper. The track is not just six minutes of pumping beats however, as Robinson has inserted resonating piano like notes of crystal quality to create a calm state infused with the massive house sounds.

The producer has not completely left behind his previous sounds however as, especially at the beginning and end, these original synths are still present alongside the chiming, piano like notes. This combination of the three main sounds, synths, notes and beats, provide diversity and structure that will help make the track attractive to wider audience.

The song also features a vocal during the interlude that adds to the spine tingling qualities of the song mixed with the epic climaxes and drastic drops. The video also helps provide another dimension to the song with its picturesque and cinematic imagery. The video is packed with action and seems as if it has come straight out of a film, which is rare in videos for this genre of music.

The song is remarkable in its multi structure production format, showcasing huge pounding beats and managing to be truly unique. The video is most certainly amazing and the song is a sure fire hit.

Rating: 9/10
