Born and raised in El Paso, TX, Riot Ten significantly impacted the dance music scene when he joined Dim Mak Records.

It is a high-energy, genre-blending work that marks a pivotal moment in the career of one of electronic music’s most relentless creative forces. REQUIEM FOR A RIOT is now available on all music streaming platforms!
Riot Ten has emerged as a prominent force in the global bass scene. His latest album, REQUIEM FOR A RIOT, signifies him fully embracing his artistic journey. This project encapsulates years of evolution and raw creative energy, resulting in a deeply personal and powerful work. With REQUIEM FOR A RIOT, Riot Ten does more than push boundaries; he obliterates them. The album represents the most fully realized and artistically ambitious effort of his career, both in scale and artistic intent. It serves as an expression of his identity as a producer, shaped by years of experimentation, live performances, and a determination to break free from genre constraints.
The album features an impressive lineup of collaborators, including Deorro, TYNAN, Versa, Smoakland, and many others! Together, they craft a dynamic fusion of dubstep, trap, hip-hop, and Latin bass, creating a genre-defying audio experience.
REQUIEM FOR A RIOT features a series of previously released explosive singles, each highlighting a different facet of the album’s versatility and raw power. With the arrival of the whole album, fans are treated to six brand-new original tracks. Each offers a unique sonic journey, along with a reworked VIP cut of “Bass Bop.” The album features a cinematic three-part structure, comprised of “Exult” (intro), “Arrival” (interlude), and “Requiem” (outro).
Each song unleashes pure chaos with its no-holds-barred aggression, showcasing a strong influence that combines bilingual vocals with booming bass. This celebrates Riot Ten’s cultural heritage and the global impact of his sound. Listeners can expect nothing less than thunderous drops and explosive momentum, underscoring the project’s unapologetic intensity.
‘REQUIEM FOR A RIOT’ is not only the largest body of work I’ve ever released, but I’m also the most proud of it as well. I think this album really encapsulates my diversity as an artist, and overall desire to not be held to any “genre norms.” Many of these songs have lived in my live sets since the end of last year, so I’m stoked to finally be releasing them. And some of my all-time favorite collabs are on this project as well. Can’t wait to see how it’s received!” -Riot Ten
