I did a bit of detective work and the guy who is the source of all Jason Porter knowledge (ecksemmess) had a few threads in the production forum around 2005 where he promoted his old-school trance inspired productions with lots of videogame music influence. Sound familiar? In the first Jason Porter thread netroM links, the 1994 Trelllis set has a FFVI remix on it, even though the game was only released in Japan at that time. ecksemmess mentions he heard Porter play this same track live that same year. This is the same set that contains an anachronistic sample from Heroes (2006) as well, remember.
Other incriminating details: he claims to have seen Porter dozens of times in the '90s, which is no mean feat if there was no way of telling when the guy was playing, and yet when he started the first Jason Porter thread he'd apparently almost totally forgotten about this DJ he'd seen dozens of times across the '90s, who apparently "changed his life". He finds a Jason Porter CD for sale on eBay but doesn't bother to contact the seller finding out information on where it came from, instead posting it on TA and asking everyone here instead.
Draw your own conclusions. You can find ecksemmess' old productions by searching his post history through his profile on the threads netroM linked.

Do you think he may have ran out of ideas and thus stopped posting new sets?

You could've linked the thread. I wouldn't recommend anyone to click on the link in his first post tho, the domain expired and it's now full of trojans and other ickies. Subsequently, there's no file to be downloaded anymore http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...74#.UMSjToM0WSo
The name of the ...piece? is 'Trial of the Mind', made by Justin Silverstein (ecksemmess).
KilldaDJ might have it.

So basically this dude made sets with his own tracks under a false guise?
Where are the tracks?

I have no doubt in my mind that he's a real person. He may be obscure on the internet - so what? This was back in the 90's when he was doing his thing, and he chooses to remain private since then.

The mp3 is safe and working.
After checking it out I am absolutely sure that Jason Porter really is ecksemmess' alias. The drums, strings, instruments, bass, sound quality and character, melodies and structure are all identical to JP.
I hope ecksemmess comes to his mind and admits it now, because I really love this, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I hope he continues to produce things, he makes really interesting tracks.
