Riot Ten Releases Explosive 15-Track Album: “Requiem For A Riot”
El Paso-born producer and global bass music force Riot Ten returns with his most expansive and sonically daring project to date: “REQUIEM FOR A RIOT “ — full-throttle, genre-bluring statement that marks a a defining moment in the career of one of electronic music’s most unrelenting creative forces.
Crafted over the past year and forged in the unfiltered intensity of his live sets, REQUIEM FOR A RIOT showcases Riot Ten’s ever-evolving artistry. Reflecting his refusal to be confined by genre boundaries, the album features a stacked roster of collaborators — including Deorro, TYNAN, Versa, Smoakland, Lit Lords, soWAYV, and many others —weaving a dynamic fusion of dubstep, trap, hip-hop, and Latin bass into a genre-defying audio experience.
REQUIEM FOR A RIOT features a string of previously released explosive singles that set the tone for the project’s versatility and raw power. Among them, the adrenaline-laced “High-Octane” and infectious “Bass Bop” captured Riot Ten’s ferocious energy, while collaborative highlights like “2 Da Floor” with Latin dance icon Deorro and J. Cruze, “bRuH” with experimental heavyweight TYNAN, and “Threats” with Versa revealed the project’s bold-stylistic range and diverse sonic DNA.
Now, with the arrival of the full album, fans are introduced to six brand-new original tracks as well as a reworked VIP cut of “Bass Bop”, and a cinematic three-part structure that includes “Exult” (intro), “Arrival” (interlude), and “Requiem” (outro). Among the standout originals, “Riot” featuring Smokey ignites pure mayhem with its no-holds-barred aggression, while “CRASHOUT” featuring SAMKING delivers seismic low-end impact destined for rail-breaking chaos. “All Black Tint”, a collaboration with Lit Lords and soWAYV, descends into darker trap territory with relentless precision, offering a harder, more ominous edge.
“New Sound” with Smoakland featuring Era Harris introduces a laid-back, hip-hop-driven bounce that highlights Riot Ten’s evolving range. The solo track “MexiHop” fuses bilingual vocals with booming bass, celebrating Riot Ten’s cultural heritage and the global resonance of his sound. Rounding out the project, “Bussin’ Up” with Lukav strikes with thunderous drops and explosive momentum, leaving no doubt about the project’s unapologetic intensity.
As REQUIEM FOR A RIOT hits streaming platforms, Riot Ten continues to bring his high-impact sound to festival stages nationwide, with appearances at Dancefestopia, Lost Lands, and more on the horizon. Known for his breakout anthem “Rail Breaker” — now nearing 20 million streams on Spotify — and multiple #1 hits on Beatport and Apple Music, Riot Ten has become a defining force in the global bass scene. This album doesn’t just mark a milestone — it’s Riot Ten fully stepping into his own, channeling years of evolution, experimentation, and raw creative drive into a project that feels both personal and powerful.
With REQUIEM FOR A RIOT, Riot Ten doesn’t just push boundaries — he shatters them. The album represents the most fully realized and creatively ambitious work of his career, both in scale and in artistic intent. It’s a deeply personal expression of who he is as a producer, shaped by years of experimentation, live testing, and a refusal to conform to genre constraints. Bold, unapologetic, and unfiltered, REQUIEM FOR A RIOT isn’t just a new chapter — it’s Riot Ten’s manifesto for the future of electronic music.
