Israeli-born, Los Angeles-based dubstep duo RIOT (comprised of Tom Davidson and Daniel Magid) has signed with Corson Agency for North American booking representation. Brian Lachman and Karina Thomas are named as point agents on the deal.
RIOT built their name releasing music across some of the biggest labels in electronic music, including Monstercat, Warner Music, Dim Mak, and Insomniac Records. Their debut album Dogma Resistance racked up over 85 million streams, while their Kayzo collaboration “Wake Up” sits among the most-streamed dubstep tracks on Spotify with 40+ million plays.
The duo has also collaborated with Slander, Knife Party, and Illenium, cementing their reputation as a heavy-hitter in the bass music world.
The duo previously held European bookings with MB Artists and AUS/NZ/Asia representation through Lucky Group, both of which remain in place.
Corson Agency, founded in 2008, has been steadily expanding its EDM roster. The LA-based independent agency recently added Slushii and Chris Metcalfe to their North American roster, making RIOT’s signing another strong signal of their growing dominance in the bass music booking space.
Takeaways
This signing says a lot about where RIOT is headed. With 85+ million streams on their debut album and a catalog filled with Spotify heavy-hitters, the duo is clearly in growth mode, and locking in Corson Agency for North America puts their live bookings in the hands of one of EDM’s most trusted independent agencies.
The fact that RIOT is maintaining MB Artists and Lucky Group for international markets shows a smart, structured global strategy, not just a single-agency handover.
Could this North American deal unlock bigger festival placements, think EDC, Lost Lands, or Insomniac events, for RIOT in 2026? Could this signing hint at new music or a tour rollout from RIOT on the horizon?
