Steve Porter has championed the Porterhouse sound across dancefloors in five continents over the last few years with much aplomb. His eclectic blend of electronic dance music combines funked-up house beats with a techy-edge, breaks interludes, electro action, techno twists, and sound-clash attitude that blurs the boundaries between musical genres and never brings the energy down. The 'Porterhouse II' double-CD is a follow-up to the hugely successful 'Porterhouse' compilation released in 2006. The album is based on the principle of "music with no boundaries" and follows the four food groups of dance music; breaks, house, techno, and trance - providing all your basic needs. It combines Porter's unique track selection with his own custom-edits and a polished blue streak mixing style that will keep you in perpetual motion. Much of the track selection is from his homegrown pool of talent and a healthy number from his own arsenal of productions. With this release Porter will continue his global assault and exhort his Porterhouse party ethic of fantasy funk.
The next generation of electronic music producers is gaining hold and leading the charge is DJ/production phenomenon, STEVE PORTER. His prolific productions have garnered international attention and are propelling him into America's future DJ-cum-producer star. While his first mix compilation release 'PORTERHOUSE' melded 26 tunes together on 1xCD highlighting in his signature genre-defying, pulsating, energetic Porterhouse style. The album merged his DJing and production style with 9 of his own original tracks, further blurring the distinction between DJ and producer into one compelling artist to watch.
