ISOxo

The Shrine, sold out four times

In November 2023, ISOxo turned the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles into a generational rite: four consecutive sold-out nights alongside Knock2, totaling around 20,000 tickets, and the live debut of kidsgonemad!. In that venue, only Fred again… had strung together more consecutive sold-out shows. The set—live guitar, IDs, and a cameo by SLANDER—closed the Nightrealm cycle and placed the dirty trap of San Diego at the center of the American bass map.

From county fair to Sable Valley

He started producing towards the end of 2012. His first gig was in 2016, at sixteen years old, at the Electronic Fridays of the San Diego County Fair: Knock2 was playing right before him, and they have been partners ever since. The alias was born from the first three letters of his last name, Isorena, plus an xo that rhymed. In 2017, he appeared with ID, alongside Skan and Fang the Great. The industrial leap came with Sable Valley, the label of RL Grime: first Radial with Knock2 and, in 2021, the smash hit Stinger. That same year he released the EP Nightrealm, with the backing of Skrillex, Alison Wonderland, and Excision. Brownies & Lemonade built his debut headliner in Los Angeles—it sold out in hours and the venue had to be changed—and a theatrical tour, with visuals, props, and costume changes. 2022 brought REDloop, Angels Landing with FrostTop, the cross-remix album Niteharts, and Say What with G Jones. EDM.com included him in its Class of 2022. In 2023, he debuted at Ultra, the Do Lab at Coachella, HARD Summer, Head in the Clouds, and Electric Forest.

kidsgonemad! opens 88rising to dance

With Knock2, he was one of the first electronic signings of 88rising. kidsgonemad!, on October 20, 2023, traverses stadium trap, hybrid house, techno, jungle, and rage: dontstopme!, SHYPOP with Ninajirachi, STARsound, how2fly, PRESSURE. He conceived it as a coming-of-age story, not as a bag of singles. In 2024, the companion KGM(irl) arrived, as well as the record kidsgonemad! Live at The Shrine. With Filipino and Indonesian roots, he has emphasized that the label brings his sound to an audience that did not come from bass music.

ISOKNOCK, Coachella and Niteharts

As ISOKNOCK, they released 4EVR on August 1, 2024—with SMACK TALK alongside RL Grime—and debuted at the Sahara Tent at Coachella. Dancing Astronaut named them artists of the year 2024. The crossover with Skrillex, from a b2b at OMFG in San Diego to cuts like fuze and Smoke, and the anthem FUCK THE SPEAKERZ UP (remix of DJ Snake, collaboration with Brutalismus 3000) are now pushing towards hard dance. At home, they curate Niteharts at the Snapdragon Stadium (debut 2025; second edition, three days, from October 9 to 11, 2026, with Porter Robinson, RL Grime, and DJ Snake). In 2026, he tours North America with Hardcore Diva. Booking is handled by THE·TEAM; management, by Rare Breed Artists.
