Virtual Riot, one of the most inventive and influential producers in modern-day bass music, is back with "Believe What You Want," a fascinating new track on Monstercat Uncaged.
True to form, the unique and shapeshifting track never has a dull moment. "Believe What You Want" sees Virtual Riot jump between genres and styles with each and every drop. While that sounds like it may be a chore to listen to, the producer incorporates the whiplash-inducing switches in a way that feels entirely cohesive.
A song that needs to be heard to be explained, "Believe What You Want" beautifully switches between pounding dubstep and hypnotic trap drops. Attentive listeners can hear Virtual Riot slip in some vocals from a Zero-G pack featured in "Leaving," a 2013 release by his close collaborator, Skrillex.
"This tune kind of came out as one stream of consciousness, no repeating sections, every new part just made sense to come after the previous," he said.
Virtual Riot's latest is the second single from his highly anticipated album, Stealing Fire, out October 18th on Monstercat. It follows the release of "Give in to you," his recent collaborations with Rezz and One True God.
You can find "Believe What You Want" on streaming platforms here.
