Thanksgiving! Porter! Madeon! and Video of the Day #5!

Happy thanksgiving everyone! today we commemorate the day the settlers came over and killed all the native Americans and now we eat a lot of food. Or something like that. Anyway I wasn't able to make it home for Thanksgiving so last night I saw Porter Robinson at the Aloha Tower in Honolulu. It was a relly good time. The rave was somewhat small, only to stages, and I figure they lost a lot of people to the Afrojack show happening at the same time. I am a little bummed I missed Afrojack because at the last minute they added Peacetreaty to the lineup, and the from the videos it looks like it was MASSIVE. That being said, I am really glad I got to see Porter. While Afrojack might be more popular, in my eyes (or ears) Porter has more talent. I get a little sick of the Dutch house because it seems a little repetitive sometimes. Porter's music has a lot of different flavors and melodies. He also really killed it last night! This guy is not just a producer, he can really mix better than a lot of live DJs I have seen. At no point did I feel like he was just shuffling an Ipod, he was engaged with the crowd and blew all the little raver's brains out.

Now that I have blabbed on about Porter again, I will move on to today's featured artist: Madeon. Madeon is only 17 and he is already becoming one the most respected artists on the scene. He is absolute fire on the Novation pad, and if you don't know what I mean by that watch the video below. I would kill to see Madeon and he would kill me right back, but he frequents the Europe shows and as far as I know he has only made it to New York in terms of the U.S.  
Anyway, if you haven't checked this kid out yet, you better get on it.
