Dance trailblazer, Riot Ten, makes a thunderous return to the spotlight, teaming up with Ecraze for his latest bass behemoth, “Squad Anthem.”
The track rumbles with ground-shaking percussion, is laced with gritty, grime-infused synths, and is crowned by a hard-hitting vocal performance from BLUPILL. Following the success of his SHEEESH EP earlier this year, “Squad Anthem” sets the stage as the lead single from his eagerly awaited upcoming EP, HYPE OR DIE: BALLISTIC. Fans can expect an eclectic mix of tracks on HYPE OR DIE: BALLISTIC as Riot Ten collaborates with the likes of Emorfik, Felmax, and more, showcasing a rollercoaster of different sounds. “Squad Anthem” is out now and available to stream across all platforms.
From its initial moments, “Squad Anthem” draws in an audience with a stark vocal cut, underpinned by a deep, resonant kick drum. This sense of anticipation swiftly evolves as dynamic synths weave into the production, preparing listeners for the impending sonic explosion that is to come. The anticipation culminates in a classic drop, a true embodiment of the classic dubstep artistry that thunders with unparalleled intensity. With “Squad Anthem”, listeners see Riot Ten in his element, as a maestro orchestrating bass-heavy symphonies that capture the genre’s raw essence. Seamlessly navigating between edgy vocal sequences and electrifying drops, the track is an exhilarating testament to his undeniable artistry. Every beat and every transition resonates deeply, solidifying this offering as not just another song, but an audial experience that leaves an indelible mark on the listener.
“I really wanted to create something that embodied the feeling you get when you’re at a show with all your friends and it’s time to turn up. No stress, no work, just good times. BLUPILL was an easy choice for this. His vocals are so intense and I knew he would nail it. ECRAZE is one of my favorite producers right now also and I’ve been wanting to work with him for a while. This is the first single off my next EP, so I’m excited to hear the fan response! Squad Anthem has been going off at every show for months now.” – Riot Ten
“Riot Ten hit me up a couple months ago saying he had a track that he needed hype vocals on. I heard the track and it was a done deal. After tracking the vocals and sending it to him, he had the idea to get Ecraze on the song. I was stoked about this because both him and Riot Ten are people that I look up to highly in this industry! …. and then, SQUAD ANTHEM was born. – BLUPILL
“Squad Anthem” stands as a testament to Riot Ten’s unwavering mastery, underscoring his innovative flair in revolutionizing the bass music arena.
