Four months ago, dubstep heavyweights Riot Ten and Whales teamed up for an epic and emotive dubstep banger with an old-school twist, “Save You (feat. Megan Stokes).” Now the track’s remixes have arrived, and AFK delivered a tantalizing twist on the original. Brutally emotional, AFK’s remix of “Save You” compliments the original work while lending it some serious punch. Crushing bass stabs and intricate, growling synth work give the main section all the firepower it needs to become an instant standout within the remix package and beyond. The headbang-worthy elements aren’t all that AFK’s rework has to offer, though. Within the vocal section, a classic drum & bass-inspired reese bass keeps things subdued for a time, but the pressu...
While nothing will ever quite match the energy of a packed outdoor EDM show, drive-in concert organizers across the country are certainly trying their best to find a suitable replacement. Continuing the initiative in Utah is KPM Promotions, who are set to host the weekend-long “Roll’N Rave Drive-In” on September 11th and 12th. Scheduled performances include Subtronics, Boogie T B2B Dirt Monkey, and SoDown on the 11th, with Wooli, Kai Wachi, and more appearing on the 12th as well as a highly anticipated joint set from Riot Ten and Sullivan King. Health and safety are absolutely paramount to the event’s organizers in light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. “We want our attendees to enjoy something that we all know and love...
EDM.com wishes a Happy Father’s Day not only to all the dads out there, but also the moms who took on both roles for their kids. To celebrate Father’s Day this year, we connected with some of the biggest artists in dance music, who shared their fondest memories of their father or their children. Break out the tissues because there are some tearjerkers. NGHTMRE “A few years back it somehow worked out that I was playing Sunday of EDC and it was Father’s Day! I flew him out for the weekend and had him hop on stage as a special guest for 1 song. Without thinking much about it I called him “Papa NGHTMRE” over the mic and he has since adopted the nickname. As we walked around the festival after, fans came up to ask for pictures with him! It was a great memory for both of us.” c...
The bass music titan known as Riot Ten has emerged from quarantine to present his following with a call to action: get hype or die. The new 7-track EP, titled Hype Or Die: Emergence, incorporates elements of hardstyle, future bass, Latin instrumentation, and more, all wrapped up neatly with his classic dubstep drops. It’s his first multi-track release since his debut studio album Hype Or Die: Nightmares. Last month, EDM.com caught up with Riot Ten, who shared that we’re “going to hear some of the heaviest music [he’s] ever produced.” Turns out, he wasn’t lying. Featured on the record are previous releases “Ultimate” with Shaquille O’Neal and T-Wayne, and “Save You” with Whales and Megan Stokes. The n...
As more and more artists and promoters look for new ways to connect with fans in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the live concert industry continues its transformation into something wholly different than it was just a few months ago. In an announcement that sounds more like a Black Mirror promo, dubstep maven Carnage has just announced that he is headlining “Road Rave,” a drive-in music festival in Orlando, Florida. Joining Carnage on the bill are fellow bass heavyweights Riot Ten, Nitti Gritti, GRAVEDGR, and Blunts & Blondes. Can you imagine the adrenaline-fueled, car-honking riot that is going to ensue when these trap and dubstep kingpins throw down? The show does, of course, come with some social distancing guidelines. For example, all cars must...
While we might still be stuck at home for a considerable amount of time because of COVID-19, DJs and producers haven’t let the pandemic stop them from bringing new music to fans. In fact, for some, it’s actually helped with freeing up more time to finish unreleased songs. In EDM.com‘s interview with Riot Ten about being in quarantine, he said that he has less on his mind, having not to think about traveling and touring. And although he wishes he could play his music live, he has a lot of unreleased songs that he can now focus on. Last month Riot Ten released “Save You,” a single from his upcoming EP that’s slated for June. He told us that fans are going to hear “some of the heaviest music” he’s ever produced. The same will mo...
