The highly anticipated debut offering from San Diego-native ISOxo is finally here. kidsgonemad! is not only the album title, but an unapologetic statement and siren call for a larger cultural movement. The movement’s grassroots following has seen exponential growth from selling 600 tickets in LA less than 2 years ago, to now selling four consecutive nights at the Shrine (co-headline shows with Knock2), totaling 20,000 tickets sold. The shows at The Shrine will be the first time kidsgonemad! performance and production are unveiled live, ahead of his just-announced North American tour kicking off in January, tickets on sale HERE. Listen to today’s focus track “how2fly” HERE, and the full kidsgonemad! via 88rising HERE.

In a marked departure from the typical dance music tropes that have dominated the airwaves for the past 10 years, we see a return to the child-like excitement, passion, and raw energy akin to the career-beginnings of Skrillex, who had a similar propensity to rebel against the norm. With kidsgonemad!, ISOxo accesses a deep well of emotion and from rage and angst, to longing and hopefulness, and thus we’re taken on a journey of growth and self-reflection.

Featuring previously released singles “dontstopme!,” the Ninajirachi-collaboration “SHYPOP” and the trap-heavy “STARsound” ISOxo’s debut album, kidsgonemad! is a journey in restraint and bombast. Marked as “one of the most anticipated electronic debut albums in recent memory” by EDM.com.

Of the album, ISOxo shares, “This album can be split into 3 parts. The first few tracks have a cocky, rebellious energy that builds to a breaking point with ‘pressure’. The second part is about trying to reconnect with the passion and feeling of making music with no restrictions or expectations (how2fly). And part 3 builds again into the high energy from part 1 and brings back those themes but from a more hopeful perspective. kidsgonemad! is the whole journey of growth and self-discovery from brash rebellion and angst to hopelessness, and finally acceptance and self-worth.”

Since breaking into the electronic music scene at 19-years-old, ISOxo has been forging his own path through the dance music landscape and paving the way for a new generation of DJs and producers. With fans at Billboard and carrying the title of Dancing Astronaut’s ‘Breakout Artist of the Year 2022’, ISOxo’s 2023 kicked off with a surprise back-to-back set with Skrillex, a friend and close collaborator ever since the 2022 debut EP NIGHTREALM, which caught the attention of Porter Robinson, DJ Snake, RL Grime, Alison Wonderland amongst others.

Having sold out his debut 2022 headline tour, ISOxo’s 2023 appearances have included major festival debuts at Ultra Music Festival, The Do Lab at Coachella, HARD Summer, 88rising’s Head in the Clouds Festival, and Electric Forest, as well as a renegade show in Brooklyn, NY that generated a crowd of 1000+ fans, which he recreated with off of the 10 Freeway in LA this month to equal hype with fans flooding in. The aforementioned co-headline shows with Knock2 at the Shrine later this year made history as the second most consecutive sold-out nights ever, coming in second only to Fred Again…’s recent record.
