Los Angeles was in for a treat when Virtual Riot took over The Novo for a crazy night! Known for his insane production and sound design, the German DJ and producer delivered an electrifying performance that had the crowd headbanging from start to finish.
From the moment Virtual Riot stepped on stage, the energy in the venue was undeniable. His set was a perfect blend of dubstep classics, high-energy riddim, and cutting-edge unreleased tracks, keeping fans on their toes all night. Every drop hit with precision, sending waves of bass rippling through the crowd as fans went wild.
A major highlight of the night was the amazing visual production, led by VJ Carmen Aguirre, who stood beside Virtual Riot on stage. Her visuals perfectly synced with the music, creating an immersive experience that amplified every beat. The LED screens pulsed with vibrant colors, glitchy animations, and wild 3D effects.
Midway through his set, Virtual Riot took things to the next level by putting on his VR headset, seamlessly integrating his live POV from the DJ decks with his performance. As he manipulated sound in real-time, Carmen Aguirre’s sick visuals responded dynamically, creating a mix of audio and digital artistry for his fans. He even incorporated his video game remote controller into his set, mixing beats using it and showing that to the crowd on the screen live. It was a unique experience!
Virtual Riot dropped fan-favorite anthems like “Energy Drink” and “Pray for Riddim,” getting his crowd headbanging nonstop. He even played his newest release, “Damage,” which he made with DJ DIESEL, aka Shaquille O’Neal.
As the night came to a close, Virtual Riot left the stage to roaring applause, proving once again why he remains one of the most innovative artists in the electronic music scene. With his insane sound design, creative mixing, and Carmen Aguirre’s stunning visuals, this show was so much fun. Don’t miss the chance to see Virtual Riot live!
