Knock2 – nolimit [Album]

One of the year’s most anticipated albums has already arrived. Knock2’s triumphant debut album, nolimit, features a towering 17 songs, including three previously released singles: “come aliv3” with RL Grime and Abi Flynn, “feel U luv me,” and “hold my hand” with Sophia Gripari. The album is a masterclass in the San Diego native’s ability to blend the genres of bass house and trap. It follows his recognition as Dancing Astronaut’s Artist of the Year in 2024, alongside ISOxo.

John Summit featuring Cloves – Focus

Quickly shaping up to be John Summit’s next melodic vocal hit, “Focus” was first premiered during Miami’s Art Basel week at Summit’s intimate Experts Only showcase. Featuring the vocals of Cloves, “Focus” pairs one of dance music’s top producers with an up-and-coming singer who has a promising future ahead.

A rework of Rui Da Silva’s 2002 original, “Touch Me” has been given a modern and energetic twist by the talented trio of Massano, TH;EN, and Carlo Whale. The Tomorrowland Music-backed track has been one of the most requested IDs in melodic techno over the past year.

ARTBAT, Vintage Culture – She The Last One

First tested over a year ago, “She The Last One” is a bold offering from two dance music heavyweights. Released on the Upperground label, the track showcases Vintage Culture’s distinctive basslines paired with ARTBAT’s masterful progressive synths.
