Check out and share our Riot Sound Records Interview. This interview is part of our new Labels in the Spotlight Series. In this interview series we feature exciting labels from all over the world. As always: Share & Support!
Please tell us a bit about yourself and your label. Where are you based, what genres & styles do you cover… And when/how how did it all start?
We are a Electronic label, operating out of Florida with members all over the country and I believe starting to get some international artists as well. Riot Sound started…I wanna say we're closing in on 2 years ago now, after my business partner (Nicholas Wise) had a less than stellar experience working in promotions at another label, it was just him for the better part of the first year, but eventually I came in as a co-owner to help smooth things out, and the rest is history, we're growing every day and I'm just honored to get to work with the incredible people I do.
What are some releases our audience simply must check out? (Either new stuff or evergreen classics)
We are starting to get talks going for the second installment of our annual 'Disturbing the Peace' compilation, you can of course check out the first one, right here.
Are you looking for new artists to sign or collaboration partners? (Be it media partners, remix competitions or otherwise?)
Of course! We're a huge family over here and there's always room for more. I'm consistently blown away by the material our guys are putting forth so, please, get in touch with us, we'd love to check out your music.

What was the biggest mistake you made when you started making music and what would be the number one tip you could give to a newcomer musician?
We needed, and still could learn the lesson of putting out more, it was dead in the beginning, now we're up to, just guesstimating, like a repost a week minimum and an exclusive a month. I can't stress enough that consistently putting out new stuff is the key

What has been your biggest challenge right now? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?
The challenge has always been and will always be: growing and improving, we're constantly striving to reach more people and be better at managing this whole thing (and trying to do so without our own projects and personal lives exploding). I'm not sure we can truly overcome it , there's always room to get bigger or be better, and I look forward to where the future takes us
