[i]"The Homegrown album is basically a yearbook of grooves and melodies that I mixed together into one 14 track collage. It was about painting with different colors and growth as an artist, as I didn't feel satisfied just producing one-off singles and remixes anymore. DJing has always inspired my production work and I think the album reflects that. I wanted to make a funky, fun, colorful album with a balance of creative freedom and dancefloor tangibility. Having such an album to tour with really shapes the chemistry of your DJing style in such amazing ways too, not only having different shades to work with, but learning from the contrast between your records and others."

The next generation of electronic music producers is gaining hold and leading the charge is DJ/production phenom [b]STEVE PORTER[/b]. His prolific productions have garnered international attention and are propelling him into America?s future DJ star. He is now poised for his official coming out party with his debut artist album [b][i]?Homegrown?[/b][/i] on [b]FDS Recordings[/b].
[b][i]?Homegrown?[/b][/i] is an amalgam of Steve Porter?s various unique styles and melodic nuances. The expertly mixed album brings together 14 original tracks. Some of which have already garnered wide attention with inclusion of the tracks on numerous high-profile dance music labels & compilations including; [b][i]"Vodka Cranberries"[/b][/i] on hot new label [b]Nu Republic[/b], [b][i]"Definite Form"[/b][/i] on [b]Sander Kleinenberg?s Little Mountain Records[/b] and included on his recent [b][i]Everybody[/b][/i] CD for [b]Renaissance[/b], and most recently, the track [b][i]?Swanky?[/b][/i] has been included on ?ber-cool [b]Felix da Housecat?s[/b] upcoming [b][i]Playboy: The Mansion [/b][/i]compilation.
Once in a blue moon there comes along a prodigy that is noticed by the big guns and whose talent catapults them onto the world stage. From Boston to New York, [b]Steve Porter[/b] has evolved from record store clerk to New England rave DJ to landing on the roster at one of the most prestigious booking agencies in the world. Steve Porter was discovered by [b]Chris Fortier[/b] when Chris heard a CDR of his productions in 1999. Chris quickly brought him into the FADE Records fold. Soon thereafter, Steve was signed as the youngest member to join [b]The Collective Agency[/b]; home to [b]Sasha, U.N.K.L.E., Lee Burridge[/b] and [b]James Zabiela[/b]. He began touring across the U.S., Canada, South America, Australia, Asia and Europe and has played alongside Sasha on the [b]Airdrawndagger & Involver[/b] North American tours, [b]Sander Kleinenberg[/b] on the Essential Mix Tour and also headlining a hectic schedule of national and international DJ dates.
Over the last six years, [b]Porterhouse[/b] (n?e Porter?s House) has amassed a collection of over 50 singles and 28 remixes under his name and the many aliases ([b]Agent 001, HDF & Bons[/b]) used to suit the mood of the song. His myriad of tracks have been dominating dancefloors globally with Porterhouse finding its way into the record boxes of everyone from [b]Sasha, Lee Burridge, Derrick Carter, Carl Cox, Sander Kleinenberg, Mark Farina[/b] and [b]Paul van Dyk[/b]. He currently is in the 5th year of a residency at [b]RISE[/b], the long-running and only afterhours club in Boston and headlined New Years Eve 2005 in his hometown at the largest club in the area, Avalon Boston.
His sound is known to his fans as [b]?Porterhouse,?[/b] an eclectic range of funked-up house beats with a techy-edge and twisted jams induced by his own re-edits and mixes that molds his DJ sets. When Steve walks into a record store he examines every genre, picking the top gems from Disco to Techno to Trance and everything in between. The essence of Porterhouse brings the energetic action to the dancefloor where the warm, funky basslines and cool percussion melt away any chin stroking pretensions and the resonating guitar & piano hooks lure you into an eternal groove. Make no mistake, Porterhouse is party house.
