This man has mastered around 5+ genres and he is still going to this day, I think I speak for everyone who is a fan of him that they strive to be like him because I do
I think the first one I heard from him was either Energy Drink or Evil Gameboy. A friend showed it to me, and I soon fell in love with VR's style. Unfortunately my friend stopped listening to his music, so I got nobody to talk about this awesome music with.
Didn't realize but 2016 was such an insane year, between all the melodic dub/future bass releases combined with chodegang, such a diverse year with a ton of sick music
I met him once years ago in Florida. he was down too earth n didn't mind me being so star struck.lol Now that I'm producing myself n releasing soon, I know he'll give me the time when I contact him & hopefully collab.. honestly that'll be a dream come true. I've been doing this a long time... following everything from Rusko, to Benga, to flux pavilion, Dr P, Bassnectar, knife party, Skrillex, panda eyes, virtual riot, getter, Sullivan king.. I watched rainman leave krewella, Borgore to Buygore. from first too last, 2 Skrillex then OWSLA and everything in between Monstercat ❤️, DubstepGutter, dubstep rebellion, UKF, Galaxy, I love it all, I love our music scene. #EDMCOMMUNITY I love you guys!!!
The gender evolution 2010 : og dubstep 2012 : dubstep 2013/2014 : modern dubstep 2014/2015 : brostep 2016/2017 : riddim I'm making supposition and if I'm wrong tell me
One for All, All for One is the oldest song of his I’ve heard Borg is the first song of his I ever heard Show Up (feat. Virus Syndicate) is my favourite song of his What a legendary artist 🙌
First song I heard of him was We're not Alone in 2014. He became my favourite musician in 2015/16 and still is. Thanks to this video I discovered his song Nights on Fire and I love it :)
3:24 Which one isn't called "Haunted" cuz I know for a fact that was an editing mistake and Shazam doesn't want me to know it...?! 😑 Edit: Nvm the first one is "So Baked"
2016 was where things started to go terribly wrong... just kidding, I love the new VR stuff but I think he's got some great skills are in writing the beautiful melodies!
@@chronon8782 Au5 is actually my fav edm artist, but VR is just about on par imo. Not necessarily one's better than the other, but a style preference I guess.
i wouldn't say one of most talentend producers but, definitely in riddim, and for sure, he brought something new and fresh. Saddly too many peoples have copied his style, so it became something hardly surprising/boring to me :(
@@FLNKmusic he is definitely one of the most talented producers, just stuck in the riddim rut right now. His melodic/complextro album (he's working on, hopefully 2020) will no doubt be amazing
Damn, didn't realize how many of my favorite songs from him were released on 2014. Also rip the amount of melodic tracks he used to release really decreased, don't get me wrong I love some of his heavy shit but rip the mix between heavy and melodic is so unbalanced
I believe it's mostly because now he plays a lot more shows and so he have to constantly prepare new "banger"' for them. Luckily he said that a lot of new melodic tracks are coming this year
@LowLinK sure he makes a lot of heavy stuff, but his heavy stuff is far from generic. Sure it's in a similar style to other artists, but no one compares to Valentin's sound design.
Melodic VR is my fav. His shit is so fucking good and i miss it so much. I've been waiting FOREVER for a new melodic ep or album. He has some amazing ID's but everything he actually releases is always the same headbang heavy dubstep stuff.
Maaaan. I thought I was a bitch for getting emotional at this video but bro. His discography is like... 25% of my life. His emotional remix literally saved me from one of my worse breakups ever. Love you VR. Can't wait to hit the studio one of these years T-T
2010-2017 are more interesting, more energetic and some are relaxing 2017-2018 for me is kinda disappointed cause of "Riddim" 2019 the year I fall in love in VR
The first song I've heard from him was Energy Drink My favorites from him Borg, The Recall, most of his VIP's, Self Checkout... Oldest song I've heard from him, the songs he showed on Disciple that he said he made them when he was at my age I think I start liking Future Garage Virtual Riot is my fav artist
if any VR fans wanna hear more of his melodic side of his music, i recommend checking out channels that post his IDs and unreleased stuff, there’s a whole ton of untouched great stuff there. also, after attending my very first virtual riot concert, i can kinda see why VR and his label focuses so heavily on riddim, with how wild the crowd gets hearing a super intense riddim drop rather verses their response to melodic stuff. while it puts for an amazingly wild fun experience, his melodic stuff always triumphs it for me and has such a massive amount of replay value for me that i’ve been consistently listening/coming back to ever since i found this dude back in 2015.
2015 when my officemate first introduced me to his music and I didnt really liked it, or any EDM at all. Now that Im diving into EDM and music producing (still a total noob) hes became my favorite artist. Hes very unique and experimental. Very complex music. Its just way he is i guess. And thats what I like the most. I just cant find anyone sounds like him. Hes style, the combination of his various influences, is one of a kind.
i mean, his progression is incredible, but this dude came out the WOMB making shit that sounded good. i've been at it for almost 10 years and i still dont sound nearly as good as he did in 2010. how the hell does he do it?
From listening to VR all these years, I can honestly say and remember 2016 being the turning point in regards to his mixdowns. He had a more “pop” mix especially when his Emotional remix released and his remix with Kill The Noise. I remember that very vividly. He constantly implements new techniques and you can tell from hearing the before and now. Before it was more of a thicker, slightly muddier mix but throughout time, mixes were all overly bass and low mid heavy. Then slowly he had more of that polished tight bass and low mid control. That may have sounded like a bunch of jibberish to most but, in short, you can clearly tell he has referenced, analyzed and studied other artists with that “mainstream/pop” mixdown. And over time, he has achieved that polished Skrillex-style mixdown and took it even further.

He's actually good at makig genre switches
Idols is the oldest song I heard from him.
Energy Drink is the first song I heard from him.
Me too
The first song I've heard from him is Nasty. I'm kinda new to dubstep

@@fujiwarachika2187 im sorry to hear that. :c
VR is proably kinda loyal with the vocal sample xD
he always used the same vocal sample for melodic stuff
Idols. What a classic. I remember hearing that song for the first time and falling in love with edm.
By the end of 2012, he was already goated by that point bruh.
Vr is very experimental back then
Edit: i just notice this is your longest video
maaaaan who doesn't remember Energy Drink? I listened to it when I went to school when I was 10
12:34 This is the moments when the earth shakes
Sounds like his heavier dubstep changed a lot from 2015 to 2016. Throwback was such a fantastic tribute to his old style.
I heard Energy Drink in an object show intro, which is how I discovered him.
Didn't realize but 2016 was such an insane year, between all the melodic dub/future bass releases combined with chodegang, such a diverse year with a ton of sick music
We're not alone is so good
Fascinating how his music has evolved so much but you can see his personal style in every single song
The process of someone going from zero to a legend... great video, I'm really liking these.
2014 was really a good year of dubstep
No doubt, one of the best (top 10 for sure) EDM producers

2017 was definitely the most exciting year for me. So nostalgic even though it was only 3 years ago. But holy shit 2018 still hits hard
The gender evolution
2010 : og dubstep
2012 : dubstep
2013/2014 : modern dubstep
2014/2015 : brostep
2016/2017 : riddim
I'm making supposition and if I'm wrong tell me
Damn 2018 started to come out with the heavy stuff
I love how you edited this video to mash together each song :)
Dog fight is always my favorite
2012 is where his good dubstep and melodic stuff kicks in
God, he has transformed so much and I love it.
Thanks for putting this all together
Beyond was so insane for its time
Virtual Riot starts at 0:59
Really funny how similar it all sounded until late 2014 when steve duda released serum
I can't believe Idols AND Energy Drink were 2013, I feel older now
15:27 That Album made me to follow Virtualriot
He was really stinking good at skrillex style basses back in 2013
3:24 Dude the song's name is"So Baked" not haunted
We need a new version of this because we now have all those dab recordings virtual riot songs
This is a great video! I would love to see this type of video on Xilent.
One for All, All for One is the oldest song of his I’ve heard
Borg is the first song of his I ever heard
Show Up (feat. Virus Syndicate) is my favourite song of his
What a legendary artist 🙌

Virtual riot in 2011 was neurofunk and Filthstep:o
11:58 ???? Chodegang???? Bro, you're crazy?
Long way to the top

14:37 ❤️❤️❤️
I'm pretty sad about this 2013-17 style dying in him. I actually don't like riddim cuz it's repetitive
Real
Where was Alien? He was a part of it.
I think that was taken out, as well as other songs, so the video didn't last a long time.
Where's Dragons and Das Riddim?
i need chodegang 😭😭😭
Idols is from 2013 holy shit time flies
Here we see his transformation into the god of OTT
(Virtual RiOTT)
hey lol
Xfer Like this Comment
what 🗿
haha
This also represents the evolution of dubstep, UKdubstep - US/Brostep - Riddim.
true
And complextro,future garage and melodic dubstep.
and Briddim, lo-fi as well
Don't forget that produced neuro and Drum n Bass music. Also, glitch hop.
TRUE WTF I had never thought of this
Keep in mind he’s only 25
Wait, what? Jeez! He looks and seems older than that (at least 27-28).
He looks younger doe
Then maruada is even younger
Speedrhythmics yeah but he’s been in the scene for so long, it feels like he’s much older.

From mediocre music to one of most talentent producers.
Every song after "The pit" is a banger
One of my top 5 favorite artist, without a doubt
I think in part is because his mix was way more clean and he started using OTT, i mean, Virtual RiOTT
You really have to listen Hipster Test in full. That track it's still one of his best. Believe me
