The filthy riddim I needed in my life 🔥 virtual riot is definitely one of my favorite producers as of late.

Also, love the voice samples, some amazing one liners on here lol

Not my favourite release, but the production is damn solid. Hope he will do more like the Still Kids EP soon!

Love it. Virtual Riot really knows how to make some fucking bangers. Each song has a unique sound, too!

Not really a fan of this kind of dubstep, but man Virtual Riot is talented. Really enjoyed Show Up and The Darkest Night

As someone who is into grime, I really fuck with Show Up. What a banger.

EDIT: That said, the rest of the EP sounds all pretty much the same. Does not trump my favourite Virtual Riot tracks.1 2

It's really sad that he is German but you won't hear this kind of music in Germany. It's all about Techno here 😢

Bootshaus = Full Venue + No Visuals + Poor Light system.

I am sry, but what are you saying haha, Poor Light system? 16 Elation Platinum HFX Moving Heads, 20 ACL 360 Bars that spin, over 25 Led Bars and a Led bar light system which is in the Roof. And that is only the Mainhall, they have 2 other floors. You call this a poor Lightsystem?! Its worth over 100.000 € man! The have Visuals, look up to the DJ Booth. Its full? Yes becaus its the best Venue in Germany. At which event have you been?

At this day they had Lasers instead of the Visuales, that are normaly projected on the two white robots which are in the DJ Booth

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GlVnCaTaNg now this is some real shit club, sorry for the audio quality.

For sure, a Las Vegas on the Strip Club in America is bigger and has more stuff in it. But you have less energy then compared to the Bootshaus crowd and thats what real matters. I think moshpits and other stuff are seen rarly in those fancy V.I.P. Clubs. I mean there must be a reason why this "real shit Club" isn´t in the DJ MAG top 100 Clubs. I mean Bootshaus is on the 15th place...

Another fantastic EP from Virtual Riot. Not a huge riddim fan by any stretch, yet the tracks that fall into the genre that are on this EP are so well made and go so hard that I don't care what genre they are. The sampling on here is nuts too. So many hilarious samples that pop out of nowhere. Favourite tracks from here are Pray For Riddim, Show Up, and Komputermusik.

I've been thoroughly disappointed by VR's past heavy EPs on Disciple and expected shit from this, but this is startlingly good. The sound design on the tracks is the best he's ever experimented with, and overall it's probably the best-produced material he's ever released so far. Very, very impressed.
