Not only has he received several awards for his outstanding sample packs from Splice, which were downloaded more than 5 million times, but he is also a star on the YouTube platform when it comes to production tutorials. His unique sense for sound development has brought his sounds to well-known Disney+ series and streaming hits like “Star Wars – The Mandalorian,” just as an example.
The German but Los Angeles-based producer has managed to effortlessly combine classically trained musicianship with top-notch sound design, reaching a wide fan base across the genre without sacrificing a level of authenticity that appeals to the fundamentals of both extremes. His album “Simulation,” which was released in 2021, was a huge success and was accompanied by an album tour across America, ending with his sold-out headline show at the famous Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.
He is a global touring artist performing at the biggest festivals in the world such as EDC, Coachella, Tomorrowland, Lost Lands, Rampage, Bassrush, and many more. Virtual Riot is Beatport’s best-selling artist of all time in the genre of dubstep and has gained 400k+ followers on YouTube with more than 1 million streams of his music per day. In the DJ Mag Top 100 DJ’s, the biggest DJ poll in the world, Virtual Riot is ranked 78th and has worked with the likes of Skrillex, Getter, and Kill The Noise, along with remixes for Zedd, The Chainsmokers, Flux Pavilion, Excision, and Pegboard Nerds.
