Richard Singphiphat Nakhonethap,[1][pronunciation?] known by the stage name Knock2, is a Laotian-American DJ and music producer from San Diego, California.[2] His music typically combines elements of bass house, trap, and many other musical genres.[3] Nakhonethap is also a member of ISOKNOCK, an electronic music duo composed of himself and ISOxo. He has collaborated with popular EDM artists including Dillon Francis, Nghtmre, and RL Grime.[4] Nakhonethap's increase in popularity has been attributed to energetic DJ sets at standalone shows and festivals in combination with viral social media marketing.[5][6][7]

Early life

[edit]

Introduced to DJing in middle school, Nakhonethap took an interest in music production due to his involvement in his middle school's breakdancing club.[8] Nakhonethap reportedly began DJing at 11 years old and taught himself music production by watching production tutorial videos on YouTube.[9] Nakhonethap attended Rancho Bernardo High School in San Diego where he continued DJing, attracting the interests of artists such as Diplo and Flo Rida.[citation needed] At age 14, Nakhonethap met Julian Isorena, better known by his stage name of ISOxo, at the San Diego County Fair where the two were scheduled to DJ.[10] Nakhonethap and Isorena went on to collaborate heavily on future projects and shows.[11] Nakhonethap has cited NGHTMRE as one of his biggest inspirations.[12]

Career

[edit]

In 2020, Nakhonethap released the single "What's the Move" in collaboration with Henry Fong and General Degree.[13] On February 5, 2021, Nakhonethap released the single "Dashstar*"[14] which found immediate success and, as of 2024, is his most streamed song. In the same year, Nakhonethap featured in Dancing Astronaut's Artists to Watch in 2021.[15] "Dashstar*" was the third most played song at Electronic Daisy Carnival Las Vegas in 2022.[16] On August 24, 2022, "Dashstar*" was added to Counter-Strike 2 as a Music Kit for the Initiator's Music Box.[17] On August 6, 2021, Nakhonethap released his debut extended play 2Hearts,[18] which contains five tracks.[19] A deluxe version of the extended play was released on September 9, 2022, featuring two additional tracks.[20]

On October 30, 2022, Nakhonethap alongside fellow artist ISOxo under the portmanteau ISOKNOCK, released niteharts. The extended play features a compilation of ten remixes of previous songs.[21]

On January 27, 2023, Nakhonethap released his second extended play, Room202.[22][23] The extended play contains six tracks and a debut headlining tour accompanying the release titled the "Room202 Tour" included 13 stops.[24] Additional stops were added to the tour including a four-day grand finale at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.[25] On August 18, 2023, Nakhonethap released a deluxe version of the extended play titled ROOM202 dlux which added two additional tracks.[26]

On August 1, 2024, in collaboration with ISOxo, Nakhonethap's debut album as ISOKNOCK, 4Evr, was released.[27][28] The album contains eight tracks and was released on the 88rising label.[29] In the same year, ISOKNOCK performed at Coachella.[30]

On January 17, 2025, Nakhonethap released his solo debut album, nolimit, containing 17 tracks, on 88rising.
