Eric Da'quez Soto, creatively known as ERIC NORTH—formerly NoCellular—is a vocalist and multifaceted visual artist from New Haven, Connecticut. ERIC is the sole founder of DIVERSA_UNIT, and was a long-time member of the Anti-World multimedia collective until its dissolution in late-2023.
ERIC has frequently described his music as “cybernetic,” a self-coined umbrella term that encapsulates the glitchy sound in the majority of his vocal discography—ranging from experimental IDM, to trap-metal, to electronic-alternative—which dates back to August 17, 2015, when ERIC released “♞KILLSWITCH♞.”
ERIC NORTH produces as RIOT_ANGEL, oft-praised for his versatility. ERIC employs the likes of electric guitars; drone synthesizers; and distorted, saturated drums. He has exclusively produced as RIOT_ANGEL since August 2018—previously crediting himself as ERIC NORTH.
ERIC produces the majority of his modern releases, most notably the 2019 and 2020 extended plays LIKE_A_CLOCK and T3RM1NAL_4.
ERIC’s vocal versatility is on par with his production repertoire, creating entire soundscapes with his mere voice. ERIC is known for blending otherwise solidified genres to create something entirely new, this is most apparent on “MEZOFADE,” which features a chimera of layered vocal deliveries.
ERIC NORTH has released ten bodies of work—including an August 2020 single compilation. His latest full-length LP was March 2019’s A_CRY4HELP.
