While everyone is focused on the fact that Madonna made out with Drake for an uncomfortable amount of time to cap off Coachella 2015, there was a lot of music performed as well. Since Coachella is such a major event in the beginning of the festival calendar, many artists come equipped with new music to premiere. Porter Robinson did just that, having not unveiled any new music since his critically acclaimed August 2014 debut artist album Worlds, where he stepped away from club music and focused on songwriting. Robinson took a similar approach with his new remix of U.K. electronic trio Nero's recent single "The Thrill."
From the live rip, you can hear the bright and cheery pianos, booming drums and oscillating synths that totally flip the original on its head. Listen to the rip below via Run the Trap.

Robinson spoke to Billboard about the remix and how it was easy for him to rework the track.
He talked about being stuck in awful writers block over the past few months and not being satisfied with anything he had been working on over the past few months.
"I hit up a few artists and right away Nero hit me back. They have this song called 'The Thrill,' which I think is an amazing, beautiful synth-pop track. I was like, 'Yeah let me remix it.' I worked so fast and I made something I was really happy with," explained Robinson. "By lowering expectations of myself, I was able to write something that was really awesome."
You can listen to his full set below, which includes all of the live triggering and instrumentation by Robinson. He will perform with his World Live Show at a lot of different festivals this summer, including Squamish Valley Music Festival, DanceFestopia, Outside Lands and Mysteryland.
