Dutch-born, Barcelona-based producer SPAG (the dubstep veteran formerly known as Spag Heddy) is stepping up with a rework of the lead single “Try Again.” The horn melodies and assertive hip-hop vocals are reimagined at a slower tempo, unfolding across a futuristic, glitch-fueled groove built on choppy mid-bass, laser-like textures, call-and-response vocal chops, swinging rhythms, and intricate sound design.The project begins with Afinity’s reimagined version of “Back To Back” where his melodic and future bass sounds blend with RIOT’s heavy track to bring the single to an euphoric vocal-driven production.
The record then transitions into Dodge & Fuski’s rendition of “Everynight,” delivering a diverse dubstep experience packed with intense synths and energetic production. Taking the single to an entirely new dimension, Hi I’m Ghost adds a monstrous beat into the fourth track, a reimagined rendition of “Hurricane” that effectively builds up the energy. The compilation moves forward with CELO’s remix of “Click Clack,” a dynamic track transitioning from hip-hop rhythms to heavy synths. The sixth track of the album is Jacknife’s version of “Deadshot,” adding his wobbly sound and merging it with the track’s heavy dubstep energy. VLCN follows up with a reimagined take on “March of the Machine,” crafting an atmospheric illusion through modulating bass frequencies and intricate vocal chops.
OSSIEN adds his rendition of “Alien Threat” to the project, delivering futuristic, hard-hitting bass that gives the audience an out-of-space experience. The ninth track of the record is The ninth track is Dirt Monkey‘s remix of “Get Down,” which showcases his signature cutting-edge style layered over rhythmic drumming arrangements. Next up is Hekler’s rendition of “Nebula,” where the driving percussion breathes life into the track as it builds into an energetic, laser-like bassline that accompanies the vocals. The album draws to a close with Baclash’s remix of “Slide,” a production that blends halftime beats and rap rhythms to power its high-energy drops.

“My remix of Back To Back is a playable riddim brostep combination.” – Afinity
“As a longtime fan of RIOT, they have never left my playlists ever since my first tour and naturally I am extremely excited and proud for this remix opportunity of the huge banger Try Again. Can’t wait to go on tour with them soon!” – SPAG
“Been a fan of RIOT for years so getting to remix Hurricane was an honor. Had a blast rearranging the vocals and adding a bunch of orchestral elements to an already amazing track.” – Hi I’m Ghost
“I’ve always loved the energy behind ‘Click Clack,’ so getting the chance to remix it was an exciting opportunity. I wanted to keep everything that made the original hit so hard while putting my own spin on it. I pushed the intensity, brought in my own style, and made something that’s been a lot of fun to play out. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!” – CELO
“Stoked to be back on Gud vibrations with a remix for the riot lads! Psyched.” – JACKNIFE
“I’m stoked to be able to put my spin on March Of The Machine. I loved blending the heavy trap verses with super heavy drops.” – VLCN
“RIOT is a huge inspiration to me, and I’m super grateful to share this symphonic dubstep remix.” – OSSIEN
“Loved the original, so when the team reached out to get me on board I couldn’t say no!!” – Dirt Monkey
“My remix of RIOT’s ‘Nebula’ is packed with crazy flows, swung drums, and the kind of energy that really represents where I am musically in 2026. I wanted to preserve what made the original so special while pushing it into my own world sonically.” – Hekler
“I’m super stoked to be putting out this Remix. First off, to be on NGHTMRE and SLANDER’s label is such an honor. Back in 2015, I actually moved to LA and went to Icon Collective because I saw a video of them talking about how they learned everything from that school. RIOT have also been the homies for a long time now, and I actually watched them make parts of this album, so being part of the remix album is just super special. When they asked me to remix “Slide” in particular, I was nervous, because it’s such a vocal-driven song and I knew it’d be a bit of a challenge. But now, seeing the final product, I’m so stoked on how it came out. It really pushed me to work harder than I ever have on a remix, and to think of a new way of approaching it.” – Baclash
