They say everything is bigger in Texas and Lone Star State native Riot Ten proves this true for music, as well, with his new Hype Or Die: Sun City EP. Mixing everything from dubstep to trap to bass house and beyond, 'Sun City' is a raw and rebellious addition to Riot Ten's 'Hype Or Die' series. Opening with mariachi-tinged heater 'Los Pinches,' the Texas-based producer wastes no time turning out high octane material. Across six tracks he invites collaborators (Throwdown, Stoutty, Pierce, Basstrick, Foreign Suspects) and rappers (Bok Nero, Atarii, Hashu) to enhance the rail-breaking experience, carrying through on tracks like the relentless, heavy-metal influenced 'Ain't Scared' and the hip-hop tinged 'ShutYaMouth.' Rounding out the release with a touch of tranquility, Riot Ten fades into the sunset on slow-burning outro 'Sun City.'
