Virtual Riot – Energy Drink (FREE DOWNLOAD)

This track is one of the signature early works by Virtual Riot, a producer who captivates the world with precision sound design.

As the title suggests, it’s an upper-tune that delivers a jolt of energy, like you’ve just downed an energy drink.

The song features a roller-coaster progression, with metallic sounds and razor-sharp bass stabs popping out one after another.

In the drop, you’ll be overwhelmed by a structure where tightly chopped phrases switch at dizzying speed.

White SatinZEDS DEAD

Zeds Dead – White Satin

Zeds Dead are an electronic duo known for their boundary-crossing sound.

Recognized for their dubstep-rooted musical style, here’s a track that represents their early era.

Released in August 2010, this brostep tune samples The Moody Blues’ classic “Nights in White Satin.” The way it tears apart the original’s melancholic melody with a ferocious bassline and metallic textures, then rebuilds it, is masterful.

Watching the wistful theme be emotionally elevated through an intense drop is a quintessential experience of the genre.

It’s a perfect piece for anyone looking to dive into aggressive yet emotional dance music.
