Richard Nakhonethap and Julian Isorena are the masterminds behind the ever-growing name of ISOKNOCK. Richard (Knock2) and Julian (ISOxo) are lifelong friends and close musical partners. With roots planted in San Diego, CA, they both fell in love with electronic music at a young age. For many, the underground scene can be exhausting, but for Knock2 and ISOxo, it was the ultimate destination. ISOKNOCK symbolizes counterculture in an increasingly saturated music scene. As they gain popularity, they continue to bring the underground with them. In today's world, becoming a DJ has never been easier. ISOKNOCK is redefining the standards of what it takes and what is impressive. Watching their shows reveals that their DJing is becoming more and more performative. It's about connecting with the crowd and getting as close as possible. ISOKNOCK is borrowing pages from a pop star's playbook, bringing frontman energy to every set, show, and festival. ISOKNOCK's debut album "4EVR" draws ideals and aesthetics from punk rock and underground rage culture. Their sentiments are raw and rich with attitude and angst. Their rollout slogan, "Pain is temporary, ISOKNOCK is 4EVR," is a cheeky play on the iconic quote from Lance Armstrong. ISOKNOCK is about falling in love with the process, or the "Pain." It's about accepting life's hardships and wearing them on your sleeve. The music is as empowering as it is rebellious, and for their fans, the pain comes when entering the pit. Richard and Julian are here to redefine the next decade of dance music.
They are the antithesis.
