Virtual Riot + Blanke (Far From Home Tour)

Auris Presents...
Virtual Riot & Blanke (Far From Home Tour)

A towering titan of the bass music world, German-born and Los Angeles-based producer VIRTUAL RIOT Riot (Valentin Brunn) is universally recognized as one of the most innovative and technically gifted sound designers in electronic music. A long-standing heavyweight on the Disciple Records roster, he spearheaded the mid-2010s riddim and dubstep revolution with an unmistakable style that seamlessly fuses face-melting bass patches with lush, video-game-inspired melodies and intricate music theory. Beyond his chart-topping albums like Simulation and a relentless touring schedule that places him on the mainstages of EDC, Lost Lands, and Tomorrowland, his legendary sample packs have shaped the sonic landscape of modern bass production. Whether delivering mind-bending heavy dubstep or sleek future garage, Virtual Riot remains a definitive pioneer whose production masterclasses continue to inspire an entire generation of electronic musicians.

Australian-born and Los Angeles-based producer BLANKE has carved out a unique dual identity in the electronic landscape, operating as both a melodic bass heavyweight and a premier drum & bass innovator. While his main project delivers stadium-sized anthems on Seven Lions’ Ophelia Records, his high-velocity ÆON:MODE alter ego has made him a leading architect of the modern drum & bass revival in North America. This versatility allows him to seamlessly pivot from ethereal, emotionally driven soundscapes to rapid-fire warehouse rhythms, earning him regular slots on the mainstages of EDC Las Vegas, Lost Lands, and Ultra. By refusing to stay boxed into a single tempo, Blanke has built a distinct touring profile that appeals equally to headbangers, rave purists, and festival crowds alike.
