Texas-based producer RIOT TEN has dominated the dubstep scene with some of the most recognizable festival-flooring anthems of the past half-decade. Making his return to Bassrush Records comes his new double-sided single ‘Mosh Alarm / FTPU.’ The release follows his collaborative cut “Dale” alongside Jessica Auddifred and Blvkstn, which arrived on the label last year.
“Mosh Alarm” is a mayhem-inducing riddim ripper set to ignite mosh pits around the globe. Wailing sirens create tension, building a sense of impending doom that heightens as the track builds. The spoken word vocals are delivered with a calm demeanor, polarized by the contrasting violent instructions and menacing backing. The composed vocals guide revelers through what’s to come, commanding a cult-like weight of adherence. Body-bruising synth grinds, laser fills, elastic sub-bass, swampy sound design, and punchy percussion duke it out in the blistering, beastly drops. As the intensity subsides, the calling siren creeps back in as the narrator prepares listers for round two. Matching the intensity and filthiness of the first half, RIOT TEN unloads an epic finale that takes the pit to new depths.

“FTPU” builds on the savage energy of the A-side by keeping the pedal to metal. Joining forces with High Zombie and XAE, the diabolical trio expertly infuse rap with skull-splitting dubstep. Icy melodics create a sense of unease that intensifies as sharp drums and electrifying riffs join the party. XAE’s vocals mix rap swagger with a screamed punk energy. The lyrics are destructive and aggressive, perfectly bending into the controlled chaos that defines the drops. Chopped vox, chest-pounding bass, metallic percussion, and grinding synths give the drops a monstrous magnitude that will shake the earth. “FTPU” is a berserker set on a path of pure annihilation.
RIOT TEN provides some background on the double-single, saying, “Since my last EP, I’ve been honing in on my heavier sounds and bringing as much energy to translate to my live sets as possible. Personally, I think this A/B accomplishes exactly that and I’m extremely proud of it.”
RIOT TEN is a consistent standout in the world of bass music with a prolific catalog littered with numerous Beatport #1 Top 100 Dubstep tracks, a Top 10 debut on iTunes’ ‘Dance Album’ charts, and his massive single “Rail Breaker,” amassing over 18 million streams to date. He has become a mainstay on Bassrush Records, unleashing numerous singles on the label since 2018. His work has garnered support from top-tier outlets including UKF, Headbang Society, Moon Lvnding, Relentless Beats, The Music Essentials, and This Song Slaps. He is hot off a performance at Escape Halloween and has a jam-packed touring schedule with can’t-miss shows at Apocalypse: Zombieland, Academy LA, Vanguard, Red Rocks, 11:11, Bogarts, Victory Hall, Orpheum, Soundcheck, Peabody’s Nightclub, and Radius.
‘Mosh Alarm / FTPU’ see RIOT TEN in peak form, as the heavyweight producer unleashes a double dose of rail-riding, speaker-blowing dubstep debauchery.
