If there’s one thing I love almost as much as new music from The Chainsmokers, it’s remixes of their music from emerging stars. Isaac Palmer is exactly that. The 21 year old has developed quite an impressive career thus far, already topping the charts on the Spinnin’ Records Talent Pool, earning over 500,000 streams in just two songs across all DSPs, and even delivering remixes for the likes of Ty Dolla $ign that has earned enormous love and support on Soundcloud. Now he’s back with a fresh and

Isaac Palmer is one of the most exciting up and coming acts. Not only are his originals finely polished, electrifying tracks, but his remixes are simply incredible. He’s a master at keeping the intriguing aspects of the original, and then flipping them into peak time club tracks. Now, he’s back, this time making his debut on the esteemed Hood Politics imprint, supplying a sizzling edit of Metro Boomin, Chris Brown, & Future’s smash, “Superhero“. Backed by a gritty drum groove and the iconic

Some collaborations happen by design, others by beautiful accident. Isabella&Sebastian falls squarely in the latter category. A Memphis-born partnership between 19-year-old vocalist Isabella DeFir and 13-year-old multi-instrumentalist Sebastian Stephens is proving age gaps mean nothing when the sonic chemistry is right. Their track “Helium” started as exactly what it sounds like – a lightweight side project between two genuinely gifted artists. Isabella brings that rare combination of techni

On a mission to help listeners realize their full potential and provoke self-appreciation through his music, Isaiah Brown closed out 2022 has proven to be an artist to watch. In November of last year, the rising artist dropped his debut album, DREAMERBOY, which received widespread attention for its innovative soundscapes and genre bending tracks. One of our favorites was “Me & U”, a trippy, soulful track landing somewhere between Diplo and James Blake.   Now, Isaiah has released a visually

In November of last year, Isaiah Brown dropped his debut album, taking his fans and the world by complete surprise – DREAMERBOY. This LP is a powerful auditory journey that draws influence from Isaiah’s life experiences and raw emotions, a experience that never gets old no matter how much you listen. Now, he has revisited one of the compilation’s top songs with his brand-new music video for “Please Be The One”. The story of the track is in the lyrics, which encapsulate the feeling of desperatel

The journey of ISOxo and Knock2 in 2024 has been nothing short of legendary, with their performances rattling major festival stages like Coachella and their surprise debut album sparking widespread acclaim. Now the incendiary duo have announced their final show of the year. Set to rock the Bay Area, ISOKNOCK's upcoming appearance at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium marks the culmination of a monumental year that has seen them relentlessly pushing the boundaries of trap, bass and dance music whil

ISOKNOCK, the collaborative duo between modern electronic music pioneers ISOxo and Knock2, are redefining the parameters of their genre. After meeting at the San Diego County Fair as young teenagers (while performing at the same local stage), the San Diego-natives struck an immediate connection, forming a bond defined by a shared desire to shake-up the foundations of dance music.  The two producers have nurtured their ISOxo and Knock2 projects while fortifying their collaborative identity throug

In a daring spectacle, ISOKNOCK—the collaborative powerhouse of ISOxo and Knock2—turned heads at North Coast Music Festival this past Labor Day Weekend when they performed from a DJ booth suspended in a shipping container by a crane. The high-flying setup was a perfect metaphor for ISOKNOCK's meteoric trajectory thus far: elevated, risky and absolutely thrilling. It's not merely the audacity of their performance that had fans buzzing at Chicago's Seat Geek Stadium and across social media thereaf

This past weekend in Los Angeles, ISOxo performed for a sold-out double header at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, the finale of his Nightrealm era. Whenever an artist announces a finale of a particular era, the question is always, “What’s next?” For ISOxo, his debut album: KIDSGONEMAD!, out in 2023. First, a bit of history and context. ISOxo has skyrocketed in popularity over the past year, especially since Brownies & Lemonade hosted his debut headline show in Los Angeles in October 2021

If you’ve seen ISOxo this year, or ever, you know the power he has to turn a crowd into an absolute party at the drop of a beat. If you haven’t seen him, or missed one of his shows, Nightrealm Tour Phase II was just announced and tickets are available now. Seattle, Chicago, New Orleans, Atlanta, and Milwaukee are among the cities poised to experience his talent, with one show at the Fonda Theater in LA selling out so fast they had to add another. All tickets are available here. This articl

A year after releasing his debut album, the rise of ISOxo doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. When the EDM.com Class of 2022 star dropped kidsgonemad! back in October 2023, he crystallized one of the bass music scene's most explosive breakouts in recent memory. "I'm big on individualism and growing into yourself, growing into your own skin," ISOxo told us in an exclusive interview at the time. "The whole project as a whole is just really about becoming myself, and it's a story about growth

When I first saw ISOxo play in Los Angeles in late 2021 for his debut headline with Brownies & Lemonade, I was left feeling like he was the future. We’d already had him on our Artists To Watch in 2020 list published late 2019, but thanks to the pandemic, it was nearly two years later before I was able to actually see for myself the power he commanded from on-stage. Clearly, many people now have the same impression since ISOxo, and by association a lot of his contemporaries like Knock2 and F

In the electronic music world, Knock2, ISOxo and RL Grime move with a menacing hush. While they may linger in silence for months, their sudden releases erupt like thunderstorms and make statements that reverberate through the scene. This holds true for "smack talk," a merciless trap track released moments ago by way of the esteemed record label and Asian hip-hop collective 88rising. Following ISOxo's surprise appearance during Knock2 and RL Grime's b2b set at Ultra Miami 2024, the track quickly

The organizers of Escapade have wrapped up yet another dazzling music festival in Ottawa. Scheduled from June 21-23, the massive fest once again captured the hearts of Canada’s loyal dance music crowd throughout its first two days and nights. Unfortunately, unsafe site conditions due to heavy rain forced organizers to cancel Escapade’s third and final day, prioritizing the safety of attendees, artists and staff. A special "No Redemption" set from Tchami and Malaa was one of the first day’s highl

Here at UKF we wholeheartedly believe women should be celebrated for their talents, not just to fill up a diversity quota. We are steadfast in our mission for authenticity and recognition for everybody who creates within the bass music sphere. Women deserve to stand on stages illuminated by their own brilliance, not as tokens of diversity, but as masters of their craft. While strides have been made toward inclusivity and representation, the journey towards equality remains ongoing. “Women are

The highly anticipated Cassian remix of John Summit and HAYLA‘s hit ‘Shiver’ is out now on the Experts Only imprint. Teased for months in John Summit’s sets, most notably as the intro track at the circuitGROUNDS stage during EDC Las Vegas, Cassian delivers a masterful Melodic Techno spin on the original. His extended version is already being hailed as a potential remix of the year. This emotionally charged track amplifies HAYLA’s vocals and introduces an array of unique sounds and dark l
