Virtual Self (Porter Robinson) at the WaMu Theater

USC Events presents Virtual Self: π‘ˆπ‘‡π‘‚π‘ƒπ‘–π΄ 𝑆𝑦𝑆𝑇𝐸𝑀 tour on Thursday, September 13th at the WaMu Theater: Tickets are on sale now!

The Utopia show combines two sets into one β€” one set each from the two Virtual Self β€œproducers”. First, a techno, 2-step and trance segment from Robinson’s technic-Angel moniker, followed by a mashing of gabber, jungle and hardcore from Pathselector. The immersive performance will bring fans into a world of mutated 2001-era warehouse rave complete with custom-built lighting and stage production that looks unlike anything else in electronic music. People will be quick to notice that Porter’s commitment to the aesthetic is just as effortful as his previous live shows, and it’s safe to say that this will be the most unique show of 2018.

A concept predicated on the influences of his youth, with Virtual Self, Robinson taps into an affinity for early 2000’s visual aesthetic, looking to β€œcombine three tropes from the period that didn’t overlap much at the time: digital abstract, arcane magic design, and digital grunge, all into a single early-aughts flavor,” a thematic thread which weaves through both the project’s sonic and visual identities.
