YetepVirtual Riot, a dubstep and riddim wizard, is stepping into new territory with his latest collab, “Damage,” alongside none other than DIESEL (aka Shaquille O’Neal). Yes, that Shaq, the basketball legend who’s been seriously leveling up his EDM game. And let’s just say, this track is a serious flex.
Popular for face-melting bass and heavy dubstep, Virtual Riot has been a staple at many festivals like Tomorrowland, Bass Canyon, and Lost Lands. But with “Damage,” he’s swapping out the wubs for some gnarly DnB beats, and honestly? It works. The track is a high-energy shift that feels like a natural progression for an artist who’s always experimenting with new sounds.
As for DIESEL, incorporating energetic rap lyrics with an acoustic solo that gives the track a deceiving opener. Teaming up with Virtual Riot feels like a match made in bass heaven, and “Damage” is proof that these two can confidently deliver something fresh without losing their edge.
Since its release, “Damage” has already racked up over 200 thousand streams, and it’s easy to see why. The track is a perfect blend of Virtual Riot’s talent and DIESEL’s contagious energy.
So, is this the start of a DnB era for Virtual Riot? Maybe. Sometimes, stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to some seriously cool results.
