Porter Robinson’s Cover of Fontaines DC

Porter Robinson illuminated the “beloved” Fontaines DC for Triple J’s As a version Series – check it below.

Robinson’s Unique Interpretation

During his recent run of the show in Australia at the beginning of this month, the producer-DJ and now Roker Porter Robinson visited Triple J Studio, where he showed love for Ireland’s Fontaines DC and performed a unique cover of their popular song “Beloved,” from 2024’s Romance.

While Robinson’s cover remains mostly true to the original “beloved,” he introduces a break, leaving the original song’s rhythm in the final segment for an euphoric assembly. His rendition begins with a brighter version of the song’s signature riff, which he described as “not nu-metal, but there is energy in the original.”

Speaking about his choice to cover the track for As a version, Robinson stated: “’Beloved’ was not a pun, one of my favorite songs last year. It made me a fan of Fontaines DC; I just love it. I love Major Cote. I appreciate music that is extremely catchy and meaningful. The way this song seems to constantly move forward is captivating.”

Romance was named the second-best album of 2024 by NME. Royan Daily remarked: “Fontaines DC’s fourth album impressed not only through its philosophical quest but also by continuing the band’s extensive evolution. Filled with apocalyptic themes, it blends various genres, showcasing unparalleled ambition and the pure splendor we’ve come to expect from them.”

Additionally, “Starburster” was named the third best song of the year by NME. Andrew Trendell wrote: “With all its extremes on display, the opening track of Romance marks Fontaines DC at their most vibrant and ambitious, another milestone in their journey toward becoming modern icons. They can’t be stopped now; they’ve taken the music world by storm.”
