Porterhouse returns to Miami during Winter Music Conference week for its 6th straight year on Saturday, March 27th at intimate clubbing boîte B.E.D. DJ/producer Steve Porter first launched his inaugural assault on club denizens with his Porterhouse party at State nightclub back in 2005 – with an eclectic set made up of a combination of Big Room Electro, Techno and Progressive House with Break Beats for build-up that was so electrifying, he left the crowd clamoring for more of his infectious, signature style. Over the years, the Porterhouse parties were so successful that the critically acclaimed compilations ‘Porterhouse Volumes I and II’ were spawned and his distinct ‘Porterhouse Style’ was unleashed to the world. Though he has had immense underground notoriety since then, 2009 was undoubtedly a defining year for Steve Porter as he made his mark on the mainstream front as a powerful music and Youtube video producer.

Porter has never been afraid to take his music one-step further in the name of keeping things intriguing. As he once fervidly said, “I don’t make music for anybody, I make it for myself.” It’s no surprise that he would use his creative foresight to experiment with the emerging ‘mash-up’ trend by creating the first ever video remix using the original Slap Chop infomercial to create a remix entitled “Rap Chop”. At almost 9 million Youtube views since its inception, the impressive viral Internet meme has propelled him into the spotlight. Popular is an understatement. Now at the pinnacle of his career, Steve Porter has composed so many video remixes that he not only has his own channel on Youtube now with over 16 million views but, he launched his own company Porterhouse Media to facilitate his new video remix projects which have garnered worldwide attention on press outlets such as TMZ, Fox News and ESPN. To date, his videos have been commissioned for FedEx, IBM’s Lotus Notes, and most recently, he is handling projects for ABC and he is set to produce the entire NBA “Where Amazing Happens” ad campaign with his video remixes for the 2010 playoffs.

2010 will be the year of Porterhouse Media with heaps of exciting new video remixes in the works including: “Life Alert Remix” featuring Wilford Brimley, “Doc Bottoms Aspray Remix”, and two remixes for the hit TV shows “Scrubs” and “Entourage” where Porter will be remixing the opening track “Superhero” by Jane’s Addiction.

On the touring front, Porter will be performing at upcoming massive events including NBA, Ultra Music Festival (March 26), WMC, and Coachella. For Ultra Music Festival, Porter created a special Ultra remix video starring many  of your favorite Ultra artists. At Coachella, Porter will debut a unique audio/visual live set full of original remixes as well as debut his “Superhero” remix collaboration with Jane’s Addition’s frontman Perry Farrell with an exclusive Perry Farrell vs. Steve Porter performance in the dance tent on Friday, April 16th.

With Porter’s prolific output and keen pulse on the cultural pulse of new media, he is one of the few artists on the cutting edge of this brave, new world. Find out what’s everybody’s talking about on youtube and don’t miss the chance to catch the always exciting DJ stylings of Steve Porter at one of his upcoming shows.

Going on sale this summer, the all-new Ford Fiesta features an expressive, vibrant design, sharp reflexes, and a global track record that will redefine U.S. small car customers’ expectations. With 15 class-exclusive technologies and a projected best-in-class highway fuel economy of 40 mpg, Fiesta brings efficiency and convenience together in one package.

Fiesta is designed to be versatile, personal and adaptable. In fact, Fiesta is expected to deliver best-in-class convenience and connectivity with Ford’s segment-exclusive SYNC® voice-activated communications system, as well as an expressive color palette and available graphics.

We look forward to bringing it for many years to come.”

“Electric Zoo was the best gig I’ve ever played in NYC.  The whole festival was just fantastic, the fans were so ecstatic and I was so happy to be there.  Whoever says that there is not a dance music scene in the United States is wrong, there is definitely a big scene that is constantly growing and Electric Zoo is a great example.  I can’t wait to come back and play in New York again!” – David Guetta

“It was so refreshing to finally see an event of this size take place in our hometown. I do not remembering seeing so many beaming, smiling faces in the same  place celebrating their love of music. A perfect end to this Summer. Much props to the entire crew at Made Event for making  this happen so flawlessly, and here’s hoping that it will become one of our institutions for years to come!” – François K

“This is really special. I think NY has been crying out for this for a long, long time. And obviously it’s all happening. The production is phenomenal, the hospitality is exceptional. I can only say great things about this because so far it’s all been perfect, all boxes ticked!“  – Tom Middleton

“I was excited to see a purely electronic festival in New York City. To my knowledge the first of its kind and was a success. A big triumph for the big apple.” –Steve Aoki
