Knock2 is young, hungry and one of the biggest current revelations on the electronic music scene. At only 24 years old, he appears on the stages of Coachella and Lollapalooza, among many other great festivals.
Despite his fresh sound and larger-than-life presence, the EDM.com Class of 2023 star isn't afraid to draw inspiration from classic artists. Their new single, “hold my hand,” channels classic progressive house to deliver one of their best releases yet.
After first showcasing the euphoric track as a closer to his riveting HARD Summer set, Knock2 dedicated “hold my hand” to one of his lifelong inspirations, Zedd. The song combines Sophia Gripari's captivating vocals with propulsive drums and a vintage electro melody, delivering a vibrant mix that shines with both nostalgia and novelty.
“I started this song in July 2023 with my friends Nick Smith and Sophia Gripari, we were writing several songs that day, but this one really resonated with all of us,” Knock2 said in a press release. “It felt like everything clicked when we discovered the chord progression, I immediately knew what direction to take the record. Something that felt nostalgic and bittersweet. I love playing this song at the end of my sets, it's my goodbye to the fans and a sweet way to put an end to the chaos.”
It's clear that “hold my hand” is not just a single; For Knock2, it is a world-building company. It arrives alongside a compelling music video, introducing fans to the universe of their long-awaited debut album, nolimit. Directed by 3D animator Alec West, the video brings main character Dash to life as he embarks on adventures across a sprawling metropolis.
