My Artist Influence: Riovaz Is Rebel Dance Music And I´m Twerking

I always find it fascinating when Rolling Stone picks up a new ¨rebel artist.¨ If there is one thing the illustrious mag understands it is how to commercialize revolutionary or mainstream ¨ëdginess¨. They always pluck out the next big hit that will sound and feel like a giant middle finger to the establishment while, technically, being apart of it. From Yung Blud to Omar Apollo, they do not miss in knowing who will rise and influence the masses, and their latest pick is on the money. 

 With an EP that is literally titled, Disturb The Norm, Riovaz sounds like it but with a twist. He takes light-hearted, club- igniting tracks and stamps them with lyrics and images of wasted youth. He capitalizes on the idea of being young, lost, and hopelessly hopeful, and creates a soundscape that feels strangely warm and fun for also being oddly dark and dangerous. It is as if joy and love decided to take 3 Euro Ecstasy from a random stranger in Ibiza, and are simply praying for the best over a house beat. I like it. What makes him even more special is that for however much he may sound  ¨commercial¨ he sounds unlike anyone. In essence, if you want Riovaz you got to Riovaz, and I am going to his music like Ibiza.
