REVIEW: Riot Gear - Fire The Pop Stars out on Aco Tech

1-George Acosta & Gerry Cueto remix
2-Original mix

If you summed up RioTGeaR's style in one word it would be this: Diverse. A passion for deep moving electronic music mixed with the necessity of developing a big room sound has molded their approach to building dance floor energy. With a prominent tribal flavor, their sets weave both uplifting and dark elements together, creating the trademark sound that they have become known for.

For the past 10 years, Andy Pate and Robert Dale (RioTGeaR) have steadily built their reputation as versatile & talented DJs/Producers in Tech House/Techno industry. This notoriety has been fueled not only by their live performances and placing 2nd in Carl Cox’s “Revolution at Space” Remix Contest, but also by the success of both of their weekly radio shows, Mocean District and UMF Radio.

Mocean District, which broadcasts from the platform of the 2010 IDMA's ‘Best Radio Station' (Digitally Imported) is RioTGeaR’s brainchild. To date it has featured artists such as Joris Voorn, Alex Kenji, Umek, Chus, S.O.S., Pleasurekraft, Saeed Younan, Quivver, Daniel Portman, and many more. Also, they are responsible for producing & hosting Ultra Music Festival's "UMF Radio" which airs on Sirius/XM's Electric Area and regularly features artists such as Armin Van Buuren, Datsik, Bloody Beetroots, Markus Schulz, Carl Cox, Sven Vath, and more.

                                           

 Dimitri Kechagias review: Aco Music presents the first release of its newest family member Aco Tech. With successful releases ranging from progressive trance to epic progressive house and tech house on the main label now the brand new sublabel will cater for the more underground sounds of EDM with techno and tech house releases will be on board for sure. The first release comes from RioTGeaR who service the perfect peak time track to put the strongest foundation for the new label. Fire The Pop Stars is a moving dynamite that will crash, boom and burn on many dancefloors. The original mix is fast moving progressive tech banger with energetic basslines, pulsating beats, dramatic melodic tones,side chained effects, big room clubby sounds and sharp construction to keep the clubbers busy moving and shaking along with it. Its pretty versatile track so tech trance and prog house djs can easily drop it and get the applause and admiration from their fans. George Acosta and Gerry Cueto worked together to service the more tech house oriented mix. With latin infusions perfect for the big carnival parties that are coming, percussion to die for and weird distorted synthy hooks in the breakdown along with chopped vocal samples is the version that is destined to rock the modern dancefloors that move towards the more underground EDM sounds. Highly Danceable, Highly Energizing, Highly Recommended. Love IT!
