His work can often influences the sound of hundreds of other tracks and is a highly sought after remixer.

February 15: ISOxo & Knock2
San Diego native ISOxo shook up the bass music scene with records like ‘Ground,’ and ‘Radial,’ and rose to fame in 2021 with his massive collaboration, ‘Stinger,’ with none other than Sable Valley head RL Grime. The song quickly became one of the most DJ supported tracks of the year, and racked up millions of plays online. Shortly after, ISOxo released his freshman EP, Nightrealm, which was met with critical acclaim from all corners of the industry. From fans, to press outlets, to artists, the EP was hailed as masterwork and breath of fresh air, and he was proclaimed the up-and-coming artist to watch. The record quickly garnered support from the likes of Skrillex, Alison Wonderland, Excision, the list goes on.
After bursting onto the scene with massive collaborations like ‘Radial’ with ISOxo and ‘What’s The Move’ with veteran Henry Fong, Knock2 quickly captured the attention of fans around the globe. Shortly after he released the iconic bass house anthem ‘dashstar*’. With no playlisting, or support of any kind, and no shows due to covid-19, the odds were stacked against him. However, slowly but surely this record began to take on a life of its own. As shows and festivals returned, this sleeper hit began to explode. More and more support from DJ’s such as DJ Snake, Tiesto, Joyryde & more. 2023 has been a landmark year for the rising star. After releasing his widely acclaimed ‘Room 202 EP,’ which featured massive anthems such as ‘MAKE U SWEAT!,’ and ‘rock ur world,’ Knock took his Room 202 concept around the country for his debut headline tour.
The two makes for a match made in heaven for Bass and Trap music fans and show sold out almost immediately upon release.
