The birth of Rocktronic through Drum & Bass
The intersection between the visceral energy of rock and the punchiness of bass music has reached a new milestone. Recently, on July 24, 2026, vocalist and producer Micah Martin joined forces with the talented OddKidOut to release 'Burn Them All'. This aggressive jump-up drum & bass cut serves as the lead single for his highly anticipated debut album, 'All I Need', scheduled for release on November 20 under the Create Music Group label.
This release is not a random collaboration, but the consolidation of a subgenre that the industry is already calling 'Rocktronic'. The track, co-produced by OddKidOut and Shawn Mayer of the pop-metalcore band Melrose Avenue, is built on heavy electric guitar riffs that lead into accelerated percussion at high BPMs, meticulously designed to blow out sound systems at major festivals.
This track screams attitude. It's the perfect mix of heavy guitar riffs and jump-up DNB. If the movie Fight Club were made today, this song would definitely be in it. I feel like we all captured the essence of rock and roll with modern drum and bass.
— Micah Martin
From metal stages to the electronic scene
Micah Martin's trajectory justifies the authenticity of this fusion. For nearly a decade, he led the rock band The Zealots, touring with metalcore giants like I Prevail and Memphis May Fire. After the group's dissolution in 2020, the artist redirected his vocal aggression toward the electronic scene, quickly becoming one of the most sought-after voices in the bass circuit.
His resume includes anthems alongside heavyweights like SLANDER, Kayzo, Zomboy, PhaseOne, Rebelion, and Sub Zero Project. This duality between the metal moshpit and the dubstep headbanging is the conceptual core of 'All I Need'. The 17-track album promises to maintain this sonic tension, including confirmed collaborations with pioneers like Flux Pavilion and HIGHSOCIETY. According to Martin himself, it is the most chaotic, intentional, and honest body of work he has created to date.
- Technical fusion of jump-up drum & bass with analog metalcore instrumentation.
- 17 original tracks backed by the record label Create Music Group.
- Stellar collaborations with OddKidOut, Flux Pavilion, and HIGHSOCIETY.
- Autobiographical narrative that connects the The Zealots era with contemporary clubbing.

Media expansion and the sound design of OddKidOut
Beyond studio work, Micah Martin's influence has expanded into broadcasting and the live circuit. He currently serves as a daily host on Insomniac Radio, anchoring the IMPACT and BASSRUSH channels since their launch at the 2025 edition of EDC Las Vegas. Additionally, his evolution as a DJ has led him to grace imposing stages like Red Rocks, The Gorge, Lost Lands, and the Escapade Music Festival, successfully closing his first headlining show at the Brooklyn Meadows venue in New York this July.
For his part, Philadelphia producer OddKidOut brings his sophisticated sound design to the project. Known for his ability to integrate live drums and hip-hop textures into electronic music, his trajectory includes a dazzling 2017 debut with his EP 'Solstice' on Skrillex's OWSLA label. Since then, he has released material on prestigious labels, earning the respect of figures like deadmau5 and San Holo. His co-production work on 'Burn Them All' ensures impeccable audio engineering, balancing analog rawness with digital punch.
An adrenaline injection for the festival circuit
The sound design of this single responds to a growing demand for more dynamic and organic sets in the bass scene. By integrating the vocal strength of hardcore with the mathematical precision of digital synthesis, Micah Martin and OddKidOut have created a lethal dancefloor tool. The aggression is not perceived as an aesthetic addition, but as the rhythmic engine that drives the song's groove. As the season progresses, this track is shaping up to be an indispensable resource in the USB drives of the most demanding selectors on the international scene, anticipating an album that promises to redefine the boundaries of Rocktronic.
