Southern California prodigy Moore Kismet joins forces with Vancouver-based producer Arya on “need2know,” an emotive hybrid trap single landing October 10 on NIGHTMODE. Blending future bass sensibilities with cinematic sound design, the collaboration explores the ache of emotional distance through lush textures and intricate rhythmic detail.
Anchored by the track’s ethereal vocal hook, “need2know” drifts between vulnerability and volatility—a haunting reflection of uncertainty in love. Shimmering atmospherics and glittering synth leads intertwine with crisp percussive loops and layered bass, creating a soundscape that feels both fragile and formidable. The production swells around discordant slides and airy harmonics, amplifying the sense of longing at the heart of its narrative.
“need2know" expands on the forward-thinking approach both artists have become known for. Moore Kismet returns to NIGHTMODE following their 2020 breakout “You Should Run” with Pauline Herr, which has since surpassed 5 million streams. A two-time honoree on Billboard’s ‘21 Under 21’ list, Moore Kismet remains one of electronic music’s most celebrated young innovators—becoming the youngest artist ever to perform at both EDC Las Vegas and Lollapalooza. With upcoming sets at Escape Halloween and Kai Wachi’s ‘Nekrosis’ show in Hawaii, Moore Kismet continues to expand their global footprint with an unrelenting creative drive.
Arya, a multidimensional producer and creative force, brings his signature hybrid touch to the collaboration—one that bridges trap, drum & bass, bass house, electro, and experimental bass. His catalog includes standouts like “Mind If U,” which earned coverage from IGGY Magazine, Visual Atelier 8, UFO Network, and Fresh Music Freaks. With collaborations alongside borne, Saka, Phrva, and beastboi, and consistent support from heavyweights including RL Grime, Alison Wonderland, NGHTMRE, and Subtronics, Arya continues to rise as a vital voice among the next generation of bass innovators.
Together, Moore Kismet and Arya deliver a striking convergence of emotional depth and technical mastery. “need2know” blurs the line between light and shadow, vulnerability and volatility—a future trap gem that reaffirms both artists as fearless architects shaping the modern bass landscape.
“This is my first release with NIGHTMODE in almost five years since my song ‘You Should Run’ came out around this time in 2020. While I would’ve loved to have done more with them, to be back on this label after so long—with a song I hold so close to my heart—is such an honor. Arya is one of the most talented artists that I know and I’m very grateful to have gotten to work on this song with him, and to have it come out with a label as strong and consistent as NIGHTMODE!”—Moore Kismet
“Omar and I started talking sometime early this year and, man, this one day I sent them an idea and it instantly clicked for the both of us. We worked on it pretty fast. In about a couple of days, it was done! Moore Kismet, the goat! Super stoked for this release and our upcoming future ahead.”—Arya
Moore Kismet and Arya's new single "need2know" is available on all platforms via NIGHTMODE.
