VR is proably kinda loyal with the vocal sample xD he always used the same vocal sample for melodic stuff

[@ignacioquijadau]

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

[@AndrewYac]

I think in part is because his mix was way more clean and he started using OTT, i mean, Virtual RiOTT

[@not-clic]

You really have to listen Hipster Test in full. That track it's still one of his best. Believe me

[@FLNKmusic]

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

[@colton69420]

Idols. What a classic. I remember hearing that song for the first time and falling in love with edm.

[@AtrixAtr]

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.

[@TheHuTao.]

[@drawspaceX]

I love everything this man makes and has made. There is a certain quality and authenticity to him that i rarely find elsewhere. Hes my top 1 for sure

[@AndrewYac]

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

[@megablaster08]

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

[@not-clic]

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

[@paul_nthny]

@@not-clic i hope that's true because riddim is outdated now

[@beefstew3927]

Yeah he just like sprinkles some melodic shit here and there (like Insides from the Save Yourself album) but not entire EPs like he used to

[@beau393]

@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.

[@hooliganmusic1667]

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.

[@Emend11]

[@vybore9494]

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.

[@fujiwarachika2187]

The process of someone going from zero to a legend... great video, I'm really liking these.

[@fallenxvn]

I remember hearing Energy Drink in a skydoesminecraft animation. That's how I got into virtual riot

[@IamSequoia37]

I love how you edited this video to mash together each song :)

[@joshcullen1255]

One reason why I love VR is because his music varys so much, from heavy bass to real melodic inspiring future bass ♥️

[@moses4437]

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.

[@1macca]
