Knock2
The San Diego prodigy behind the festival anthem “dashstar*” — bass house, trap and pure adrenaline.
Who is Knock2?
The full story of Knock2's rise, sound and signature catalogue.
Knock2 — born Richard Nakhonethap — is a Laotian-American DJ and producer from San Diego. He started DJing at 11 and taught himself production from YouTube, and at 14 met his close collaborator Julian “ISOxo” Isorena, with whom he forms the duo ISOKNOCK.
His 2021 single “dashstar*” became an instant festival anthem and remains his most-streamed track. His sound blends bass house, trap and a wide palette of genres into high-energy, mainstage-ready drops, released largely through the NIGHT MODE label.
His debut solo album nolimit arrived in 2025. Explore more artists in the DJ directory, or see his ISOKNOCK partner ISOxo.
