Virtual Self is the alias of American electronic music producer Porter Robinson. He released his self-titled debut EP on November 29, 2017, as the first release on the eponymous record label Virtual Self. Virtual Self is a departure from the sounds of Robinson's debut album Worlds, in favor of a more techno sound inspired by late 90s-early 2000s dance music. Virtual Self's first live performance debuted on December 8, 2017 in Brooklyn, New York. The show consisted of an elaborate light show in tandem with Robinson playing a DJ set. The set included songs from the game Dance Dance Revolution as well as unreleased Virtual Self music and songs from the EP.
