Following a landmark year that has pushed them toward the forefront of electronic music’s rising acts, Chicago-based trio Levity are preparing to release Escapism Vol. 2, a 12-track project arriving November 13 through Ultra Records. Featuring collaborations with GRAMMY-nominated artist K.Flay, Billy Otto, Lhasa Petik, and Emi Grace, the project brings together the group’s bass-driven production, emotional songwriting, and increasingly genre-fluid approach. It also marks their most expansive musical statement of the year.
For John, Josh, and PJ, escapism has become a defining part of the world they’ve built around their music. From spontaneous festival performances to sold-out arenas, Levity have created an environment where fans can step away from everyday life and connect through shared energy and emotion. Escapism Vol. 2 builds on that idea with 12 tracks exploring the space between high-energy bass music, melodic songwriting, and experimentation.
One of the project’s central moments is “Slipping Away,” a collaboration with K.Flay that brings electronic bass production together with alternative rock influences. The track pairs Levity’s hard-hitting sound with K.Flay’s unmistakable vocals and emotionally driven songwriting, revealing another side of the trio’s creative direction. Elsewhere, Billy Otto joins them on “Faded,” Lhasa Petik appears on “Dream,” and Emi Grace contributes to “Eternity.”
The project also includes previously released tracks “Can’t Get Enough,” “Heartbreak,” and “Neon Soul,” alongside “Reimmersion (Intro),” “Odyssey,” “Liminal,” “Coming Home,” and “Breathe.” Together, the 12 tracks offer a broader look at the trio’s musical identity, balancing the explosive bass energy that first connected them with audiences against a growing focus on melody, atmosphere, and emotional depth.
The release follows a career-defining 2026, building on Levity’s viral breakthrough at Electric Forest in 2023. At Coachella, the trio made their debut on the Sahara Stage, introducing their ambitious Volcano production and bringing out Big Sean for a surprise performance of their viral reworking of “Dance (A$$).” The appearance highlighted their ability to connect bass music with a wider audience.
Their momentum continued with a sold-out, 10,000-capacity hometown headline show at Chicago’s Wintrust Arena, followed by a national co-headlining amphitheater tour with Tape B that sold more than 63,000 tickets. On October 2, they also delivered their first sold-out headline performance at Red Rocks. Across their growing career, Levity have surpassed 150 million official streams and reached more than 900,000 followers across social platforms.
Their ambitions extend beyond the music itself. Through their LASERSHIP and Volcano concepts, the trio continue developing live productions that combine cinematic visuals, lasers, pyrotechnics, and immersive storytelling. They have also made community involvement a priority, helping raise nearly $100,000 for charitable initiatives while building connections with local sports organizations through collaborations with the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field and Chicago Fire FC at Soldier Field.
As Levity look toward 2027, Escapism Vol. 2 captures a group continuing to broaden its creative identity without losing sight of the shared experiences that helped build its audience. Across its 12 tracks and wide-ranging collaborations, the project reflects the trio’s evolution from a breakout bass act into an increasingly versatile force in electronic music.
