What is a Shadow Portal?

A place of wonder. Crying and dancing at the same time. Intimacy, connection, raw emotion, and visualization. A means of bringing people together to heal the darkest corners of themselves.

Breathe in, breathe out. This is my shadow portal. A gateway to my entire being.
What does yours look like? Euphoria? Sadness? Fear, worry, concern? Solicitude, laughter? This is your shadow portal, and it shifts with time and experience.

Shadow Portal teaches about the importance of shadow work with a unique, electronic twist.
The shadow self, first identified by the psychologist Carl Jung, is the part of our psyche that we push aside; the part that holds all our regrets, griefs, secrets, and deepest fears. By viewing your shadow self without judgement, you open the portal to consciousness and self recovery. This helps us find a unique purpose, fulfillment, and connection to a higher power.
Sometimes, we forget this. That's where the young artist found his purpose. Shadow Portal takes this concept and applies it to music, creating worlds and opening portals through sound. This gives a gentle reminder that everyone is going through something, and that we're all doing the best we can.

This is my Shadow Portal. What is yours like?

About The Producer:
Inspired by artists (both big and small) such as Au5, CloudNone, i_o, Akosmo, Loosid, Virtual Riot, Midnight Kitsune, Asteroid Afterparty, STRNGER,  deadmau5, & others, the young producer’s signature style incorporates emotional chord progressions, futuristic sounds, vowel-like basses, punchy/resonant snares, and experimental, ethereal sound design.

Born from the soul in a transformation phase of life, Shadow Portal sets his eyes towards labels such as “Lost In Dreams”, "Monstercat", "Mau5trap", and "Rushdown". He has been making music since he was 4 years old with his family's piano.

Shadow Portal first discovered electronic music at a young age through Pandora radio. After discovering the iconic "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" by Skrillex, he fell in love with the futuristic sound. A few years later, he heard “Flight” by Tristam & Braken, released on the Monstercat label, for the first time while coming home from a mountain biking ride. He later found that many young producers were doing the same thing the professionals were. This was the spark waiting to ignite his passion for electronic music, and challenged the question, "If they can do it, why can't I?"

Ever since then, Shadow Portal experiments with countless genres, embracing chances to try new sound design techniques and shape his signature sound. In the past years, he's participated in an official Monstercat remix competition, performed a live instrument show at his high school prom, assisted at a small 4th of July event, and bought a Roland System-500 modular synthesizer. About 4 years ago, he started learning to DJ on the Roland DJ-202. He is now adept at the skill, and aims to bring the Shadow Portal sound to venues where he can paint emotion with sound waves.

Shadow Portal's tracks sound identical to artists such as Porter Robinson (whom friends have said he looks strikingly similar to) the experimental Loosid, the legendary producer i_o who's influence has reached the far corners of the universe, the sound wizard Au5, and more familiar names such as Owl City, & Coldplay.

If you're looking for something to touch the heart, step into the universe of Shadow Portal. But be warned: this journey, will transform you.
The young artist uses Logic Pro as his choice DAW.
