Deadmau5 - Where Phantoms Sleep 04

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.

Breathe in, breathe out. This is a portal into my soul.
What does yours look like? Euphoria? Sadness? Fear, worry, concern? Solicitude, laughter? This is your shadow portal.

Shadow Portal invites people to step through a gateway into their own, unique soul, and facing their shadow self. The shadow self is part of us that we push aside, and it holds all our regrets, griefs, and the darkest corners of ourselves. By viewing your shadow with unconditional love, you open the portal to consciousness and healing. This helps us find a unique purpose, fulfillment, and connection to a higher power.
We often struggle to communicate our thoughts and feelings- There's a reason; feelings aren't words. Sound can communicate things on very profound levels. Show them through art. Show them through audio. Invite them into your shadow portal, and step into theirs. Deity has many different names: God, Buddha, Allah, Ra. Sometimes, it is called science, and sometimes it called your higher self. And even sometimes... a pointless nothing. Whatever it is, it's all valid, and Shadow Portal gives an offering to heal people through sound...with a unique, electronic twist.

This is my Shadow Portal. What is yours like?

About The Producer:
Inspired by artists (both big and small) such as Au5, CloudNone, Loosid, Akosmo, Virtual Riot, Midnight Kitsune, i_o, Porter Robinson/Virtual Self, 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, cinematic 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 hearing 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, and 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 he challenged the question, "If they can do it, why can't I?"

Ever since then, he's been experimenting with countless genres, embracing chances to try new sound design techniques, shaping 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 3 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.
