Virtual Riot Shares Updated Version of Still-Unreleased Remix of Zedd and Kesha’s “True Colors”
Call him a perfectionist. Every Virtual Riot tune certainly expresses that the bass music producer works even the tiniest details into perfection, so it should come as no surprise that his tunes may take a while to finish. In fact, Virtual Riot has been working on a remix of a Zedd track for five years. The virtuosic producer shared the latest iteration of his work-in-progress remix of Zedd and Kesha‘s “True Colors” via Twitter yesterday, writing, “this is the one you need to hear, this is what we’re going for now.” Tagged as “future bass” on SoundCloud, the remix undoubtedly embodies the sound. With production elements that could only come from Virtual Riot, his take on “True Colors” seems geared for 2021 or even beyond...
Zedd Teases Collaboration With Virtual Riot
Have you ever wondered what a collaboration between Zedd and Virtual Riot might sound like? Same here. Earlier today, we reported on a new remix—produced and shared by Virtual Riot—of Zedd and Kesha‘s “True Colors,” which appeared as the titular track of the former’s sophomore studio album in 2015. Virtual Riot, one of bass music’s most technically gifted sound designers, has been working on the still-unreleased remix for over five years. However, it seems that he and Zedd have more in the works. When a fan tagged both producers in a tweet questioning why they haven’t worked together, Zedd chimed in with a succinct yet far from cryptic confirmation. “Oh but we have,” he wrote, followed by a smirking emoji. What followed was a barrage of tweet...
Dubloadz is Making New Music After Hiatus
Last July, dubstep producer and DJ Dubloadz announced that he would be stepping away from the music scene after seven years. Citing mental health and fatigue, Dubloadz stated that his passion and energy for the music industry was fading. Fans were dismayed, but understanding of the producer’s decision to step down. However, yesterday, Dubloadz’s friend and fellow Chodegang alumni Virtual Riot hinted in a tweet that Dubloadz may be returning. The tweet confirms that Dubloadz is indeed working on new music, but it’s still unclear whether or not that music will actually be released. Should the music see release, it’s also still unknown whether or not Dubloadz will retain his alias or start a new project entirely. Besides retweeting Virtual Riot...

Listen to Virtual Riot’s Filthy “Pray For Riddim” VIP
Dubstep don Virtual Riot is here with his latest awe-inspiring effort, dusting the cobwebs off his 2018 track “Pray For Riddim” to deliver a filthy VIP version. The new version proves that the German DJ and producer, who has long been championed as one of the pioneering sound designers in the bass music sphere, is still at the top of his game.
