ISOxo went from underground champion to global sensation in a matter of months. The San Diego native has become one of the most sought after live performers of his generation, making history with the second most consecutive sold-out nights ever at the Shrine, only behind Fred again.. The breakout producer is continuing to forge his own path with the release of his debut album kidsgonemad!, out now via 88rising Records.
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. The raw energy and passion emanating from these cuts is something we haven’t heard since the early days of Skrillex.
There’s unrelenting stadium trap anthems like “dontstopme!” and “PRESSURE,” hybrid house cuts like “VOXCUTR” and “how2fly,” and reflective electronic ballads like “fragile” and “growing pains.” Also making guest appearances on the project are Wavedash, fussy, and Ninajirachi.
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.”
ISOxo and 88rising are reshaping the landscape of trap music as we know it and it’s time the rest of the world took notice. Stream kidsgonemad! below and enjoy!
