Review: Virtual Riot “Nightmare” EP

Feb 172015

Going on with quite a highly anticipated new release next, as surely those of you aware that Virtual Riot had a new EP coming these days must have been looking forward to the moment it goes online, which has finally arrived as the German artist has made the full “Nightmare” EP available for streaming on his Soundcloud. Out on Disciple Recordings yesterday, “Nightmare” EP comes with four original Dubstep tracks, one of them being a three way collaboration with Autodrive and Splitbreed. Massive sound design and top production like we are used to hearing and expect at all times by Virtual Riot who this time has not only gone heavier but also darker than most of his previous releases, something that we here on Metalectro can of course appreciate and most definitely enjoyed. Check out “Nightmare” EP below by all means if some good Dubstep is what you’re after (or even better just check it out anyway)! Continue reading »

Next have this pretty promising sounding preview of Virtual Riot´s upcoming EP “We´re Not Alone“, to be released on the 11th of August! Being freshly on the roster of Disciple Recordings hereby, the EP features altogether five tracks, four of them being originals plus one remix been done by Au5. A pretty varied EP judging by this teaser, and covering a range from punching dubstep to hard electro and rather a bit cheesy electro house this one sounds like a nice release overall, even though i have to admit the track i´m the most excited about so far is “Getting Real”! Anyways, we´ll all know more once the EP is out, so mark that date with a cross and for now give the teaser a thorough listen!!

Hell-o all and here comes your daily dose of bass and with this being the only post for today due to time restraints we better make it a good one and the “We Are Not P(o)P” Pt.03 and Pt.04 double compilation by Jet Set Trash is perfect to do just that. With 27 originals and remixes released on the label last year and a variety of styles that range from Electro House and more commercial Dubstep by artists such as Virtual Riot, Heavygrinder and Oxylice, to nasty trashy bass by the likes of Skitsnygg, Laforcah, Tim Tonik, Gor FLsh and of course some guitar fueled Metalectro favorites by Zardonic, Imagin8, Rubber Spanner and Drop Goblin that come as no surprise being on a Jet Set Trash release, this is a guaranteed energy boost to get you through the rest of the week.

My next post brings even more fresh blood on the blog and well, in this case its French blood too as the artist i am about to introduce to you all is a new producer from France. Mr Batou is the latest signing and artist to join the Jet Set Trash roster and of course the London (UK) based label didn’t forget to make a proper official introduction by giving away this Free EP titled “Start Line”. The EP features 4 originals but not brand new. The tracks have already been produced in the form of single tracks but they were all put together in a Free EP now to announce Mr Batou‘s arrival. Well, we are certainly glad that happened anyway as Mr Batou is without a doubt an extrremely talented Glitch Hop, Drumstep, Drum & Bass producer and those of you who enjoy the sound and tracks of Virtual Riot will love this one. Top notch production, great melodies and energy, Mr Batou‘s tracks have got it all and they’re free so make sure to check them out and grab them!

Hell-o all and we hope you had a great weekend! Ours was pretty wild and even though we might be taking it easy lately with blogging as we are slightly getting in vacation mode too, we find it too hard to neglect our bass banger needs completely, especially when there are some killer releases and new tracks to post. So we might be having a limited number of posts coming the next few days but we can guarantee you they will all be pretty awesome, starting with this partially exclusive premiere of Virtual Riot‘s upcoming LP “There Goes Your Money”. Out on SectionZ on August 2o, “There Goes Your Money” isn’t only a clever LP title by the young and ridculously talented Virtual Riot but also an equally great and intelligent release, packed with 16, yes 16 – you read right, original tracks. Moving between hard hitting drumstep, electro house, glitch hop and pretty much all bass music subgenres you can think of, Virtual Riot‘s debut LP is an extremely balanced and varied release that should rightfully grant him a place among the big names of the particular styles and musical scenes. Vocal driven tracks, with Lisa Rowe’s vocals featuring on “Mind Reader” and “Never Gonna Die”, melodic tracks, darker and most aggressive tracks and pretty much anything you could want and wish for on a release you will find, topped with the studio mastery, great sound design and production skills of Virtual Riot and maturity way beyond his age! So, here are some of my favorite tracks taken from “There Goes Your Money” as well as the album minimix and i hope you all enjoy it as much as we did! Hit play, start saving some money and mark the 20th of August on your calendars as the date to spend it!
