Levity Continue Meteoric Rise with New 12-Track Project "Escapism Vol. 2"

The meteoric rise of Levity has been one of the most compelling stories in the bass music scene since their impromptu breakthrough at Electric Forest in 2023. Now, following a year defined by massive arena shows and viral festival moments, the Chicago-based trio is ready to reveal their most ambitious project yet.

Arriving November 13 via Ultra Records, Escapism Vol. 2 serves as a 12-track testament to how much John, Josh, and PJ have matured as producers. While the trio first caught the internet's attention with high-energy flips and heavy dubstep, this new body of work leans into their ability to blend bass-driven foundations with alternative textures and melodic weight.

Expanding the Sound

The project is anchored by heavy-hitting collaborations that showcase Levity's range. One of the most anticipated tracks is "Slipping Away," featuring the GRAMMY-nominated K.Flay. The record bridges the gap between electronic bass and alternative rock, pairing K.Flay’s gritty, emotive vocals with a production style that feels both intimate and massive. Other vocal contributions come from Billy Otto on "Faded," Lhasa Petik on "Dream," and Emi Grace on "Eternity."

For Levity, the concept of "escapism" isn't just a title—it’s the driving force behind their live shows. You can feel this philosophy throughout the tracklist, which includes previously released favorites like "Neon Soul" and "Heartbreak" alongside new atmosphere-heavy cuts like "Odyssey" and "Liminal."

A Landmark Year in Review

The road to Escapism Vol. 2 has been paved with milestone after milestone. In 2026, the trio graduated to the Sahara stage at Coachella, where they unveiled their "Volcano" production and stunned the crowd by bringing out Big Sean. They followed that up with a 10,000-capacity hometown headline at Chicago’s Wintrust Arena and a massive co-headlining amphitheater run with Tape B that moved over 63,000 tickets.

Just last month, the group crossed another item off the bucket list: a sold-out headline debut at Red Rocks. It’s a rapid trajectory that has seen them amass over 150 million streams and nearly a million followers, proving that their community-first approach and high-octane stage energy are resonating on a global scale.
