Career
Brunn had numerous Beatport chart hits including "One For All, All For One" with Razihel and "Cali Born" with Helicopter Showdown.[5] Other electronic music outlets, such as Your EDM, have called his music "non-traditional" and "edgy", comparing him to artists like Savant.[6]
Prior to producing under the alias "Virtual Riot", Brunn produced ambient dubstep and future garage music under the alias "Your Personal Tranquilizer".[7]
Brunn released several EPs under British record label Disciple Records, including his charted EP, Chemistry.[8] He produces in genres such as riddim, future bass, future garage, electro house, and both traditional and melodic dubstep.
On August 9, 2021, Brunn announced his debut studio album titled Simulation, which released on September 10.[9]
