DJ to Watch: Riot Ten

What a time to be alive. We have the technologies to combine distinct genres of music to produce the plethora of sub-genres we have today. So if you long for the perfect combination of heavy metal, dubstep, drum and bass, and other intense genres, don’t look any further. Riot Ten is your guy. This dude is all over the place, and he nails it with every track.

Not only will his slammin’ producing style parade him to the top, but his charismatic charm contributes to his progress. If you skim through his Twitter, you’ll find writings such as this one from last week, “might start dedicating $50-$100 per show to pay for fans to attend my shows who are struggling financially. Everyone deserves to have fun.”

It’s reassuring to know artists give a hoot about their fans and whether they’re able to attend shows or not. Following an artist on Twitter gives listeners the ability to get to know an artist further than their music, and Riot Ten seems to have some pretty solid personal qualities.

In his ‘In The Trunk Promo’ mix, he goes berzerk. The intro leads you straight into a 36-minute-long expo of headbanging hits. With so many bass-tastic tracks all in one, it leaves a refreshing taste in dubstep lovers mouths.

Fortunately for heavy bass fans, Riot Ten has been clocking in on tour after tour, making appearances on Excision’s Paradox Tour, Illectric River, and his very own The Neck Brace Tour. We’ll see how long it takes before he ends up stopping in Phoenix.
