A DJ whose fame has really risen over the past couple of years is East Coast US resident Steve Porter. His prolific productions have garnered international attention and as his gig diary gets busier he only serves to enhance it. He is now poised for his debut artist album ‘Homegrown’ on FDS Recordings.
‘Homegrown’ is an amalgam of Steve Porter’s various unique styles and melodic nuances. The mixed album brings together 14 original tracks. Some of which have already garnered wide attention with inclusion of the tracks on numerous high-profile dance music labels & compilations including; ‘Vodka Cranberries’ on hot new label Nu Republic, ‘Definite Form’ on Sander Kleinenberg’s Little Mountain Records and included on his recent Everybody CD for Renaissance RA Review here, and most recently, the track ‘Swanky’ has been included on Felix Da Housecat’s upcoming ‘Playboy: The Mansion’ compilation
Discovered by Chris Fortier when Chris heard a CDR of his productions in 1999. Chris quickly brought him into the FADE Records fold. Soon thereafter, Steve was signed as the youngest member to join The Collective Agency; home to Sasha, UNKLE, Lee Burridge and James Zabiela. He has toured extensively throughout the U.S., Canada, South America, Australia, Asia and Europe and has played alongside Sasha on the Airdrawndagger & Involver North American tours and Sander Kleinenberg on the Essential Mix Tour.
He has built a huge fan base with his sound known to many as ‘Porterhouse’ and expect the same from ‘Homegrown’. To celebrate the completion of his CD and his passion for the Boston scene he will headlining New Years Eve 2005 in his hometown at the largest club in the area, Avalon Boston. The album will be officially launched at the 2005 WMC, at the ‘We Want Poterhouse’ party @ State on March 25.
