Bringing forth a new and infectious tune, California native producer, nok nok, has come out swinging with his latest release we have the pleasure of sharing with you all today, “Reach for the Lasers’. Evolving and building on his already upbeat sound, this track features the weird and wonky bassline that creates the perfect upbeat energy that will definitely have reaching for any lasers in sight. This one will surely have you nodding right along and make you want to keep it on repeat all summer long. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling nok nok’s track “Reach for the Lasers”, a certified bop.
“This song “Reach For the Lasers” has samples from a movie called “Human Traffic” about British rave culture in the late 90s. It’s kind of a classic. Some of the humor is a bit dated or raunchy, but it’s a cool look into the roots of electronic music and club culture. I highly recommend it for people who are into that kind of thing. This song doesn’t sound anything like the music from the movie, but that’s ok. One of the best things about electronic music, in my opinion, is that it’s always changing and evolving over time as new sounds and styles are developed or rediscovered.”

Who/what are the biggest inspirations in the music you create today?
My biggest musical inspirations are nature and lasers. If Celtic Druids had lasers and LEDS for their rituals, that’s the kind of energy I’m going for. Nature has all the cool sounds and feelings, and lasers give it that little extra je ne sais quoi. I’m really big into CloZee, Griz and Lane 8. For me to really follow another artist, I have to both love their music and how they conduct themselves in the industry, and for me those three humans are the pinnacle.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years and what’s your game plan to get there currently?
In five years I’ll probably be doing more or less exactly what I’m doing now, making some music and playing my flute on some big big sound systems. I’ll probably own a restaurant slash music venue with my wife and my sister and some friends by then if everything goes according to plan. I don’t want to give away too much, and obviously a lot can change, anything can happen, but I think that would be pretty cool at this point.
