Hotly-tipped San Diego DJ / producer and Dancing Astronaut’s “Breakout Artist of the Year 2022” ISOxo returns with his thumping new single ‘SHYPOP’ co-produced with Ninajirachi, out now via 88rising and available on all streaming platforms. LISTEN TO 'SHYPOP' HERE.
First debuted in ISOxo’s recent set at HARD Summer Festival, the full-throttle single captures the raw energy and emotion of his legendary live shows. Building from Ninajirachi's saccharine vocal intro, the single launches headfirst into fast breakbeats, sirens and a pounding mosh-worthy bass. Speaking about the release ISOxo says “Creating SHYPOP came from a sentimental place that’s been driving the meaning behind some of my music. It touches on the insecurities I’ve felt both as an artist and in life, wanting to push myself to be better.”
The track is another taster of ISOxo’s long-awaited debut album, kidsgonemad!. The album – "one of the most anticipated electronic debut albums in recent memory” (EDM.com) – was first announced via a theatrical curtain drop following back-to-back sold-out nights at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles. Breaking a months-long dormant period, ISOxo recently announced that the album is finally completed.
Since breaking onto the electronic music scene at 19 years old ISOxo has been re-shaping dance music with a rebellious rockstar energy and paving the way for a new generation of DJs and producers. ISOxo's 2023 kicked off with a surprise back-to-back set with the legendary Skrillex in ISOxo’s hometown of San Diego. The two artists have rapidly become friends and close collaborators ever since the 2022 debut EP NIGHTREALM (which caught the attention not only of Skrillex, but Porter Robinson, DJ Snake, RL Grime, Alison Wonderland, and many more + was followed by a sold out headldine tour). ISOxo also made his debut festival appearances at Ultra Music Festival, The Do Lab at Coachella, HARD Summer, 88rising’s Head in the Clouds Festival New York, and Electric Forest – all of which were hailed by attendees as among the Top 3 festival performances.
