Heard It Here First

Get ready for a waterfall of tears with RIOT‘s first song on Ophelia Records with Far Out featuring Runn! “Waterfall” is their debut single on Ophelia so grab your tissues and stretch your neck as you see their more emotional side.

This powerful dubstep duo has been non-stop with their music especially with their releases on Insomniac Records, Dim Mak Records, Monstercat, and Gud Vibrations. Join their fanbase, “The Mob,” and start a riot at one of their live shows on their Juggernaut tour this month! They are making stops in Dallas, Texas at Stereo Live and in Minneapolis, Minnesota at Skyway Theatre.

On “Waterfall”, RIOT collaborated with Far Out, who is known for his single “World’s Apart”  that has over two million streams on Spotify. He is a new artist breaking out on the scene that will continue to grow, so don’t miss his set at Exchange LA in Los Angeles on November 25th!

All melodic dubstep lovers know RUNN”s beautiful voice when they hear it. She has been featured on tunes with melodic gods ILLENIUM and Seven Lions. Be sure to peep other recent releases with Friendzone and William Black!

“Waterfall” starts with that perfect melodic Ophelia sound. RUNN’s voice is the focus of the track until we hear the kicks coming in and hitting faster until the first slow-hitting drop. The tune is both euphoric and groundbreaking at the same time. Vocals come in and out with beats in the background taking over just like water flowing quietly through a calm river, just until it falls down a cliff splashing and impacting the rocks underneath, which is what we get on the second drop. This epic breakdown has RIOT’s well-known dubstep stylings that make “Waterfall” a bit heavier.

Mixing feelsy vocals with heavy chops makes this into the perfect melodic dubstep combination. RIOT is the best addition to Ophelia we’ve seen in a bit and we hope to hear more and more of their melodic side! Having RIOT collab with Far Cry and RUNN for “Waterfall”  is just what Ophelia needed. Congrats to them on their first appearance on Seven Lions’ esteemed label!
