ALLEYCVT Drops New Dubstep-Heavy Exclusive “DUBSTAR 101”

It takes guts to touch a Rihanna track—especially one as gritty and unapologetic as “Rockstar 101.” But ALLEYCVT doesn’t flinch. With her new dubstep-heavy SoundCloud exclusive, “DUBSTAR 101,” she not only flips the 2009 original on its head, she launches it headfirst into a glitch-drenched warzone.

Timed to the announcement of her sold-out debut at The Caverns and the rollout of her curated “SUPERSONIC CAVERNS” show on August 23rd, this track is both a celebration and a challenge. If her 2024 hits were sleek, festival-ready bass anthems, this is her snarling, after-hours alter ego taking control of the wheel.

“DUBSTAR 101” demands your attention. It opens with Rihanna’s unmistakable vocals, torn from their rock ‘n’ roll roots and thrown into a razor-sharp blender of early-2010s brostep nostalgia. What follows is pure chaos: snarling mid-range synths, teeth-rattling low end, and vocal chops that crack like whiplash. It’s messy in the best way—aggressive, unforgiving, and surprisingly cohesive given the genre’s appetite for sonic destruction.

Where some producers water down their style to ride the streaming algorithm, ALLEYCVT seems to be doing the opposite. This release isn’t made for radio. It’s made for underground warehouse raves, for crusty earbuds and cracked aux cables, for the SoundCloud heads who still crave unpredictability in a world of over-polished drops. She’s showing off her range here—not just as a producer, but as a curator of chaos.

In a scene that often prizes safety over risk, ALLEYCVT’s latest release feels like a middle finger to compromise. Whether you love it or fear it, “DUBSTAR 101” doesn’t wait around for your opinion. It’s already on to the next explosion.
