- A thrilling club track from a rising star of New York's queer dance scene.
- Last week, during her most recent Melting Point set, Riobamba opened with Quest?onmarc's "Uprising." The New York-based artist is a rising fixture in the city's queer dance music scene, recognized for his shadowy manipulations of ballroom music and full throttle, multi-genre sets.
"Uprising" sneaks in with echoing synths, swept over by a portentous build-up that shatters into a staticky crash. Around the 0:20 mark, a sharp, rhythmic edit of the "Ha" sample floods in, introducing a twisted take on a classic ballroom sound. Supplementing the track's menacing feel, a cluster of confrontational, yet nearly atmospheric, heavy metal guitar riffs filter in and out of the track. "Uprising" is a call to action, a track to instantly reinvigorate an unmoving crowd.
