“hold my hand” out now across platforms
Visionary electronic artist Knock2 has just released his anthemic new single, “Hold My Hand,” a track that marks the second preview of his highly-anticipated debut album nolimit.
Accompanied by a vibrant music video directed by 3D animator Alec West, “Hold My Hand” delivers a nostalgic yet fresh sound, merging Knock2’s signature style with early-2010s progressive and electro-house influences.
“I started this song in July 2023 with Nick Smith and Sophia Gripari,” Knock2 shared. “We were working on multiple tracks, but this one really resonated.
The chord progression felt nostalgic, and I knew it would make for a powerful closing moment at my shows—a sort of goodbye to the fans and a peaceful end to the night’s energy.”
The music video, created by Alec West, transports viewers into the nolimit universe, introducing a mysterious character named Dash, a hacker navigating a vibrant, retro-futuristic cityscape.
Alongside a new companion, Dash journeys through a visually striking urban landscape, brought to life by West’s signature low-poly animation style, setting the scene for nolimit’s immersive story.
Knock2’s 2024 has been monumental, with festival performances at Ultra Music Festival (including a historic back-to-back set with RL Grime), Bonnaroo, and Outside Lands.
His collaborative project with fellow San Diego artist ISOxo, ISOKNOCK, has sold over 50,000 tickets for their upcoming headline shows and made waves with their debut LP 4EVR.
This year’s remaining ISOKNOCK shows will include the Bay Area 4EVR event from November 20-22 at the Bill Graham Auditorium and the sold-out San Diego 4EVR hometown event at Snapdragon Stadium, featuring acts like Madeon, RL Grime, and Snow Strippers.
“Hold My Hand” opens with fuzzy beats and Gripari’s ethereal vocals layered over shimmering synth chords, building to a vibrant crescendo with euphoric synth leads and Knock2’s signature bass lines.
The track embodies Knock2’s innovative production style, blending a nostalgic electronic feel with fresh, futuristic energy—a fitting tone-setter for his debut album’s release.
