In the ever-evolving world of bass music, few names shine as brightly as Riot Ten. The El Paso native, who burst onto the scene at the age of 22, has just announced that he will be dropping his highly-anticipated EP, ‘Feral,’ via Monstercat, on August 2nd. This EP is right on time for his headline tour of the same name. This isn’t just another release—it’s a statement, a roar back to his heavy dubstep roots.
For over a decade, Riot Ten has been a force to be reckoned with. He’s not just making noise; he’s making waves. With a career that’s seen four #1 top 100 dubstep singles and backing from giants like DJ Snake, Zeds Dead, The Chainsmokers, and Excision, Riot Ten‘s influence stretches far and wide. Remember “Fuck It” with Sullivan King? That track didn’t just feature on The Chainsmokers’ “Memories Do Not Open” tour—it became an anthem. And then came “Rail Breaker,” a global dubstep smash that dominated the scene for over three years.
‘Feral‘ marks Riot Ten‘s first release with Monstercat and it’s nothing short of explosive. Drawing from the heavy dubstep sound that put him on the map, the EP features collaborations with Boogie T and INFEKT, and showcases vocalists like Peytn and $teven Cannon. Riot Ten himself calls it his heaviest work since the ‘Genesis‘ EP back in 2018, a return to the raw, in-your-face bass music that his fans crave.
Riot Ten shares:
“Personally, I think this may be my heaviest body of work since ‘Genesis’. Most of my recent releases were more experimental to showcase the range a bit. But for the ‘Feral’ EP, I really wanted to get back to my roots from the sound design to the vocalists I have featured. I would say this EP is my personal favorite that I’ve ever created.”
And the fans are here for it. The FERAL tour, which kicks off in Germany, is set to be the craziest of his career, hitting over 30 stops including Sziget Festival, Apocalypse Festival, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Webster Hall in New York, and Stereo Live in Houston and Dallas. It’s not just a tour; it’s a bass music takeover.
Riot Ten’s journey from El Paso to global stages like Coachella, Lollapalooza, EDC Las Vegas, and beyond, is a testament to his relentless drive and unparalleled talent. His debut EP “Hype Or Die: The Dead” and album “Hype Or Die: Nightmares” both recorded top 10 debuts on the iTunes’ “Dance Album” charts—a rare feat in the genre. And with sold-out tours both domestically and internationally, Riot Ten has proven time and again that he’s not just in the game; he’s changing it.
So, if you haven’t already, mark your calendars for the ‘Feral‘ EP release date and brace yourself. Riot Ten isn’t just making a comeback; he’s reclaiming his throne. The king of heavy dubstep is back, and he’s louder than ever.
