Steve Porter presents PORTERHOUSE @ Cielo, Thursday 1.19
STEVE PORTER launched his assault on the world’s dancefloors with his inaugural ‘PORTERHOUSE’ party at the State nightclub, Winter Music Conference 2005 – with a set that was so totally off the hook, that he left the crowd clamouring for more well after the last beats had faded into the Miami night air. Since that most memorable night, he has continued on his ‘HOMEGROWN’ debut artist album tour in over 30+ US cities and abroad in the UK, Europe, Australia, and Japan, bringing his ‘PORTERHOUSE’ ideology of “no rules, no borders” to dance music across the globe.
Now in 2006, STEVE PORTER’s highly anticipated follow-up is his first-ever mix compilation ‘PORTERHOUSE’ (out on Fade Records February 2006). It is a bold and exciting venture that deserves your full attention. The album features 9 of Steve’s own original tracks, and the remaining 17 are from his long-term collaborators (including Agent 001, Eli Wilkie, Emjae, and Chris Reavey). Steve Porter has established a crucial network of hot new talent linked to his hometown of Boston. These are fresh and exciting young producers whose studio production skills have been honed out of the music media spotlight, and whilst they might not be the biggest names in the industry (yet), the tracks they make are played by world class DJ’s from every continent. If you’ve already caught Steve at one of his many club appearances around the globe, you know what we mean. If not, prepare to get very excited indeed.

Steve Porter is definitely one to watch—just ask Chris Fortier, Sander Kleinenberg and Sasha. Porter’s debut artist album [Homegrown] is pricking up ears with its subtle, prolific spirit that speaks volumes without using a word. On Homegrown Porter puts all original material together into a seamless, expertly mixed fashion to make a compelling CD that feels like the future of dance music. -BPM MAGAZINE
Steve Porter, the 26-year-old DJ prodigy from Western Massachusetts, may have humbly started spinning in his parent’s basement and DJing his own senior prom, but it didn’t take long for Porter to move beyond Amherst and take over the rest of the world. These days, Porter is based in New York and spins his infectious house music in clubs all over the planet alongside superstars such as Sasha. –BOSTON GLOBE
“Steve Porter is part of a new generation of DJs taking progressive music out of the dark. His signature "Porterhouse" sound puts the melody, music and funk back into a genre that had gained criticism for being boring, repetitive and anything but progressive”. -OTTAWA XPRESS
“one of the most exciting up-and-comers around” – M8 Magazine (UK)
“This American progressive house producer was already on everyone’s lips thanks to a string of impressive remixes. But then came his debut album ‘Homegrown’ earlier this year, and a star had well and truly arrived. With his intricate use of melodies and big basslines, Porter’s take on progressive is both uplifting and funky – something that can’t always be said for house’s more epic cousin.” –I-DJ Magazine (UK)
