And although they had more than a few collective feats this year, both artists also held their own, individually topping festivals like Ultra, Electric Forest, and Lightning in a Bottle while bringing their ISOKNOCK branding to North Coast Music Festival and Ultra Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly after his <em>kidsgonemad<\/em> (which would be later followed by a deluxe edition) tour, ISOxo would reunite with his San Diego counterpart to give those who couldn\u2019t be at Coachella the opportunity to experience ISOKNOCK in Seattle, Brooklyn, San Francisco, Japan\u2014their first-ever international date under the duo name\u2014Chicago, or ultimately during a homecoming weekend that requires its own section of this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that\u2019s enough rambling about their live show conquests&nbsp;for the time being. A month after their ISOKNOCK excursion beneath a bridge in Brooklyn, ISOxo and Knock2 etched a chapter in trap\u2019s history books with the deployment of \u201cSMACK TALK.\u201d Little did anyone know, ISOxo, Knock2, and RL Grime\u2019s Ultra ID-turned-trap-anthem would be the first peek at <em>4EVR, <\/em>an eight-part ISOKNOCK album that they would unsuspectingly set loose on streaming platforms in August, and a project that would earn a place among <em>Dancing Astronaut<\/em>\u2019s Top Albums of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet both ISOxo and Knock2\u2019s comment sections \u2014 and even a few billboards around the city \u2014&nbsp;were littered with one prevailing question: When were they coming home? They didn\u2019t just answer it in early December \u2014 they wrote a love letter to the city of San Diego. ISOxo and Knock2 reimagined the outskirts of Snapdragon Stadium, hosting a weekend equipped with festival-grade production, an A-list undercard featuring RL Grime and Madeon, two rowdy ISOKNOCK showings, and a concluding reveal of their new event, Niteharts Fest, for 2025. The full-circle weekend felt like a definitive victory lap that further closed their case for <em>Dancing Astronaut<\/em>\u2019s 2024 Artist of the Year crown.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DDYZaQXRRXV\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DDYZaQXRRXV\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Dancing Astronaut (@dancingastro)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n<p>One would think that\u2019s where their overarching argument comes to a finish, but it was not. Not long after their SD 4EVR blowout, Knock2 formally scheduled <em>nolimit<\/em>, his long-awaited, 17-track debut album, for the top of the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, we have to take a brief moment to reflect on <em>Dancing Astronaut<\/em>&#8216;s personal ride alongside ISOxo and Knock2. Watching the duo climb from <em>Dancing Astronaut<\/em>\u2019s Artists to Watch in 2021 class to Breakout Artist of 2022, and now, to Artist of the Year, is what every music fan dreams of when discovering what they believe to be a soon-to-be superstar\u2014or superstars in this case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, their chokehold on the scene deserves a standing ovation in and of itself. It\u2019s what has truly set them apart from other acts in the dance scene, from their rockstar-like showmanship to the ceaseless energy of every crowd at every show, to their genre-blurring outputs to receiving the ultimate stamp of approval from their idols, like Skrillex, RL Grime, and Zedd. At every turn, they\u2019ve managed to somehow one-up themselves, from their performance inside of a suspended shipping crane to their curation of a mini-festival for and within their hometown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, ISOxo and Knock2 elevated themselves even further, into a no-man\u2019s-land-esque level of dominance that feels incomparable to anything we\u2019ve seen in recent memory, and we\u2019re recognizing their impact by bestowing upon them our highest honor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations to ISOxo and Knock2, <em>Dancing Astronaut<\/em>\u2019s 2024 Artist of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5FsCLKDT9gEj9wZtO3ytXB?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Featured image: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ericdew\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eric Dew<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Words by Ross Goldenberg and Zach Salafia.
