Chet Porter's latest album, EVERYTHING YOU’VE EVER SEEN, is sure to evoke nostalgia for those who were immersed in the electronic scene during the mid-2010. It harks back not only to Chet’s early sound, but it’s also reminiscent of when we were first introduced to artists like Porter Robinson, San Holo, and even Flume.
After standing out as an icon in the “post-EDM” realm and carrying an influence on younger producers, it’s crazy to think that EVERYTHING YOU’VE EVER SEEN is actually Chet Porter’s debut album. I love how the project strikes a fine balance between his signature sound and showcasing his sonic evolution.
In fact, this body of work is littered with fascinating surprises as Chet regularly disobeys form and convention, especially regarding song structure and rhythm sections. Just when you anticipate a drop, he diffuses the tension, and when you think the track will take a familiar turn, he veers unexpectedly, introducing an astonishing new element. To craft this masterpiece Chet pulls from trap, future bass, house, electronica, and even breakbeat. I can safely say that this will be one of the most intriguing electronic projects you come across this year.
