Knock2‘s breakthrough house hit “dashstar*” has received the trap treatment from none other than Yellow Claw. The bass-heavy track was a big part of Knock2’s meteoric rise in 2022, a year that saw him catapult to dance music stardom and perform at a slew of headline shows and major festivals, including his colossal debut at EDC Las Vegas.

It’s not long before he artfully mutates the arrangement into a tense build,...
