Virtual Riot Unleashes Innovative Debut Monstercat Album, ‘Stealing Fire’

A solid 2013 for Max Graham is in the books, and Cycles 5 is ready to roll him through 2014. He’s ready to throw it back to the style that started it all for him.
“I’m going back to my roots by playing long sets again,” says Max. “We’re really pushing for more open to close sets so I can play a wider variety of music.”
His trance tunes have graced our ears for the longest time, spanning multiple decades now in fact, zoning us out into the evening.
From progressive to techno, trance, minimal and deep house, Cycles 5 seeks to expand the listeners’ musical horizon and introduce them to genres outside of their usual spectrum. The vibe is inexplicable to Max with all the effort he’s exerted into it, but he promises that it’ll be unforgettable.
“Well, it’s a little hard for me to separate making it and feeling the vibe like a first time listener… I’ll have to listen again in a year to really get a proper feeling from it!” says Max.
I’m willing to bet that I’ll still be listening to it then.
The album releases January 17th.
