“Once I discovered JOA’s music and felt the energy he brings to his records, I immediately felt like reaching out to see if he’d be open to a collab. The ideas flowed quickly – I sent him a track as a suggestion, which he liked, and the whole process felt very natural and easy. JOA is a promising artist, and I’m really excited about this release.” – ALOK
“A few weeks back ALOK dropped me a message asking if I would jump on ‘Go Mode’, after playing around with it I sent it back to him and he started playing it out at his monstrous shows. Fast forward a few weeks and it’s insane that we’re already getting this one out. Crazy start to 2026.” – JOA
“GO MODE” delivers enormous energy, driven by powerful percussion and deep, rolling bass, woven together with a hypnotic rhythm and risqué party lyrics. Living up to its name, the track captures the raw intensity of modern club culture while maintaining strong crossover appeal for festivals and global audiences alike.
